Overview
The City of Yokohama took over the organization of the event from the Japan Foundation, and the Yokohama Museum of Art became the primary venue for the first time. The opening day was shifted from September to August to coincide with the summer holiday season, and to attract families and children. The exhibition focused on phenomena that, despite scientific progress, still cannot be explained and also shed light on marginalized values. Incorporating works from the museum collection made it possible to provide a different context from that of past events. Despite the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the triennale opened according to plan. Special tie-up programs with local NPOs, introducing artist-initiated and residency-based projects, were also set up to coincide with the event.
