Yayoi Kusama Arts and Cities The Aichi Triennale, an international arts festival that conveys the latest trends in art from Aichi to the world, will get under in August 2010. This will be the inaugural event and will be held every three years. It will introduce the worldʼs most cutting-edge art and exhibitions from video to stage, including performing arts and opera. The events will pursue radical forms of expression, involving dancing and theatre, from contemporary art encompassing 70 artists and units from Japan and overseas under the theme of “Arts and Cities.” The majority of the works will either be new or shown for the first time in Japan, able to be viewed only here in Aichi. Furthermore, the viewing of many of the works will not be limited to museums and theatres, but the works will also venture out onto the streets, in such locations as public squares, parks and even to a historical textile wholesale district. The works will provide fascinating, extraordinary sights backed by an everyday urban setting. The power of art will be experienced through a mere stroll down a street. So please come out to this thrilling urban celebration, where the streets turn into art spaces. * The text provided by The Aichi Triennale Organizing Committee Opened dates: August 21 (Sat.) - October 31 (Sun.), 2010 |
