You know what happens when you write two blogs in two different languages, with roughly (but not always) the same content? Sometimes, you “forget” some posts, sometimes you imagine that they exist when they don’t. And this is what happened to me a couple of days ago. Looking for a […]

Today, I’m going to tell you about a very special artwork of the Setouchi Triennale. It’s located in the village of Konoura on Shodoshima. It is called stories – House – by Yume Akasaka. I saw it for the first time back in 2013, and it instantly became one […]
I already mentioned Feel Feel Bonsai on this blog. As a reminder, it’s a project and installation located on Megijima and – as you have figured – it’s about bonsai. It’s interesting in many ways, including the fact that it gives a contemporary twist to a very old art, that it associate bonsai […]
Today, we’re back to Shodoshima and to the beginning of the summer session of the Setouchi Triennale 2016. I’m going to show you a few artworks located in the southern end of the Mito Peninsula (itself the southern tip of Shodoshima). It’s one of the least visited areas of the […]

So, on Sunday on Ogijima happened something that only happens every two years; its Summer matsuri! Of course, I was there. If you want some background information about it, let me invite you to read my post about the matsuri of two years ago. This year, I was gladly […]
I made a grave mistake. Please, if you’re in Takamatsu, don’t make it too. When I introduced Thai Factory Market and the Setouchi Asia Village a few days ago, I didn’t look at the dates. I just assumed that it was going to be all along the Summer session of […]

In 2013, it was Bengal Island, where during 44 days, artists and craftspeople from Bangladesh, along with various other artists from the Triennale showcased […]
