These are some extremely busy times. At the university, the academic year has just started. At home, my son has just started preschool. On the Setouchi islands, the Setouchi Triennale 2019 preparations have been everywhere. I’ve also been busy writing about the Triennale in other places. Oh, and I’m starting […]

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 […]
Monday was the last day of the Setouchi Triennale 2013. Of course, I went to spend the day on Ogijima. Here are a few pictures and anecdotes from that day. Almost every time I go to Ogijima – especially during the Setouchi Triennale – as soon as […]
Last night, we waved goodbye to Bengal Island and the summer session of the Setouchi Triennale. Here is a small report about this eventful and emotion rich evening. When I got there at around 4pm, pretty much everyone was getting ready to head to the Sunport “tent” (not a […]

As soon as we got off Meon back from Ogijima, we headed towards the Takamatsu Sunport‘s lawn where our last stop of the day awaited us. While not much happened in Takamatsu itself during the Spring Session, it’s probably here, especially at the Sunport that the most important event […]
And here we go! The Setouchi Triennale 2013‘s summer session is underway. It will be going on until september 1st and is filled with various events. On top of a few new artworks here and here and a new island hosting the Triennale for the first time (Ibukijima, where […]
Today, I want to right a wrong. I never told you about Uchiwa Bone House, an amazing artwork that Takashi Nishibori (西堀隆史) did for the 2010 edition of the Setouchi Triennale. I hope to still do it one day as last fall I found out by surprise that the work […]
