Today’s Setouchi Triennale artist interview is quite special, first because it’s an interview of a “veteran” of the festival (I usually tend to interview newcomers), and also, because he’s one of my favorite artists of the Triennale, and he has been since 2013. I’m talking about Taiwanese artist Lin Shuen […]

This year I had decided to blog about my Setouchi Triennale 2019 visits in chronological order, and as early as my second post about it, I’m throwing a wrench into it. See, I’ve been quite busy and I also caught a nasty cold (my son has started preschool; random nasty […]
Oh no, I got attacked by a white rabbit again! OK, so, about 10 days ago was the last leg of my series of tours with the people from Koebi and the Setouchi Triennale’s Organizing Committee for you-know-what. 😉 This time we went to both Megijima and Ogijima, and […]
Lin Shuen Long‘s Beyond the Border – the Ocean is still standing in Takamatsu Sunport. You can’t enter it at the moment (only during the Setouchi Triennale) but you can walk around it and admire it as much as you want. It should still be around next year, but […]

I know, one of Japan’s New Year tradition is to go see the first sunrise of the year. Honestly, it’s not a tradition I’m too fond of; too cold and too early for me. So instead (and it started well before Japan actually, the first I can remember is […]
You may have already seen this picture if you follow my Instagram account (and if you don’t may I advise that you do 😉 ), but I’m posting it again here, because it’s worth it. You may know that it’s currently phosphorescent plancton season. So, the other day I […]
Standing in the middle of Takamatsu port since 2010, Shinji Ohmaki‘s Liminal Air – core – is the symbolic gate to the Seto Islands and Art Setouchi.
Good news! I went to Takamatsu Sunport last week (I can’t believe I hadn’t really been since the end of the Setouchi Triennale) and Lin Shuen Long‘s amazing artwork, Beyond the Border – the Ocean is still standing. I wasn’t sure what would happen to it, and I […]
