YOKOHAMA 2005: International Triennale of Contemporary Art
 |
/ Overview /
YOKOHAMA 2005 - Yokohama's
second International Triennale of Contemporary Art - builds
on the success of YOKOHAMA
2001 and will feature the work of around 80 participating
international and Japanese artists exhibiting in the main venue
- two enormous warehouses located on Yamashita Pier. The Triennale
offers an alternative to the conventional style of art exhibition
in which the observer simply looks at the works, instead offering
a dialogue-based exhibition in which the barrier between the
observer and the exhibitor is transcended, with the observer
present during the artist creative process and being able to
actually experience the work.
There will be an emphasis on “involvement with the
site” in YOKOHAMA2005. This will be a new type of
venue for people to encounter art realized through initiatives
such as home-stays by artists and also by featuring participation-based
art. The public will have the opportunity to view or be
involved in the artist's creative process while
much of the work will undergo change as a result of interaction
with the community (works-in-progress).
Triennale plans also include movie screenings, community workshops on theater and other art-related topics, and events such as symposiums and gallery lectures to encourage interaction between art and the community.
