The Yokohama Triennale—an international exhibition of contemporary art held once every three years

Amid the fast-paced globalization, our world is being shaken to its foundations by developments such as the outbreak of strife, the problem of refugees and migrants, and the British exit from the European Union. Taking “connectivity” and “isolation” as its theme, Yokohama Triennale 2017 presents a rich diversity of works of art by about 40 artists viewing our “now” from those perspectives.

For details, see the next page.

The three venues of Yokohama Triennale 2017

Yokohama Museum of Art (3-4-1 Minato Mirai, Nishi Ward)
The Yokohama Museum of Art will display a wide variety of works both inside and outside the building. Of particular note is the huge installation* by Ai Weiwei, who attached lifeboats and life jackets to its exterior walls and pillars to call attention to the refugee problems.

* In installations, objects and equipment are attached to walls or placed on floors in the exhibition space. Installations allow visitors to experience the whole venue and space as a work of art, and constitute one of the modes and genres of artistic expression.

Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No. 1 (1-1-1 Shinko, Naka Ward)
Tsuyoshi Ozawa is exhibiting new works in his “Kaette Kita” (“The Return of …”) series, which focuses on historical personages who were globally active. In the new works, he resurrects legendary thinkers and art historians who were born in Yokohama and were active in the Meiji era (1868 – 1912).

As might be gathered from its title “Project God-zilla—Landscape with an Eye—,” the work by Yukinori Yanagi features a huge eye staring out in a pile of discarded wood, electrical products, and other rubbish.
