Today’s Setouchi Triennale 2013 artwork brings us to Hitoyama, small village located in a small valley in the heart of Shōdoshima. Actually, when you’re there, you almost forget you are on an island, the place being surrounded by hills and mountains. I’d like to take the time to visit […]

Just some funny looking Daikon in the Shōdoshima countryside (more precisely in the village of Umaki)
By the way, this is where I was last week-end: After not going there in two years, I went to Shōdoshima for the second time in one month. This time we spent two days there (it was my first time sleeping on an island!) doing some tourism and […]
One of the reasons why we went to Shōdoshima on Sunday was to visit the MeiPAM art gallery that I had heard about a few months ago, but hadn’t had the chance to visit yet. This gallery is not affiliated with Art Setouchi, but that will happen pretty soon […]
I don’t like it much when people say “sorry I haven’t posted a lot on my blog lately” but… sorry I haven’t posted a lot on my blog lately… Who knew that having a baby was so time consuming? Sooner or later, I will find a rhythm that’ll […]
Let me introduce you to the Olive Line Ferry that links Takamatsu Sunport to Tonoshō on Shōdoshima. I haven’t taken it in a while, but with Spring being back and all, don’t be surprised if you see me on its board in the near future.

Here is an artwork that kinda left me wondering. It is called Giant in Our Minds (心の巨人) by Tatsuo Kawaguchi. I’m not sure how to talk about it except by rephrasing what the Setouchi International Art Festival 2010‘s official guide had to say. That is that when Mr. Kawaguchi entered […]
Back on Shōdoshima, there was this artwork called Lightening Shōdoshima (小豆島を輝かせる) that was composed of several projects and pieces spread over the villages of Hitoyama and Nakayama. Those projects were lead by Sense Art Studio, an artist group coming from Hong Kong. Here are their page (that has a great […]
Here is a piece that contemporary art snobs won’t like at all. I’m thinking the kind one can often run into in certain streets of Paris for instance (3rd and 6th arrondissements for those who know the city). I assume it’ll be pretty much the same with their New-Yorker or “Miami-an” counterparts. […]
