Beyond the Border(s) – The Ocean by Lin Shuen-long is a wonderful Art Setouchi artwork that has been sitting in Takamatsu Sunport for four years now, and I realize that I never wrote a proper post about it. So, I’m doing it before it’s too late. And first, why is […]

Trying to escape the heat, we decided to go to Shionoe, in the south of Takamatsu, at the foot of the mountains to see if we could find a few spots where we could cool down a little bit. I brought back three pictures and a video from this escapade. […]
In my previous post, I told you about the Slowpoke manhole cover on Naoshima and the reason for it. If you’ve missed it, it’s near the end of the post, but really you should read all of it. Today, I’m showing you the Slowpoke manhole cover in Takamatsu. This […]
Not today, but about a year ago. If you don’t know it, Honen-ji is a pretty amazing temple in Takamatsu. It’s not very known and gets close to zero tourists, and it’s a good thing. Oh and, I don’t know if that’s still the case, but at least […]
A few days ago, tired of staying inside, but still needing to distance ourselves socially from other people, we thought od the perfect place for that. That is Nagasaki no Hana, in other terms, the northern tip of Yashima: Fun fact: this video was shot from the spot in […]
Today, we’re staying in Takamatsu (again, yes, I know that’s three posts in a row!) as I will show you some of the artworks that were available in town during the Setouchi Triennale 2019. Unfortunately, they were all temporary installations and are all gone now. Still, I thought that you […]
A couple of weeks ago, I went for a walk at Sunport Takamatsu like I sometimes do on weekends, when I found myself twice intrigued when I arrived at the waterfront (more precisely at this part of Sunport called Seto Sea Palette). Check this out: The first thing, you’ve noticed […]
Now that the Setouchi Triennale 2019 is over, I paradoxically have more time to tell you about it and to show you all the things that I simply didn’t have time to show you while they were happening. I guess we can consider these posts as partly retrospective for those […]
So, that’s it. The Setouchi Triennale 2019 has ended. It’s been a long but great year with so many things happening. First of all, sorry for having been quiet on the blog for so long (probably the longest since I started it), but during the past two months, […]
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 […]
