Foreword

Summary

Yokohama Triennale 2017 successfully closed after receiving a total of
approximately 260,000 visitors. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to
all the artists and collectors for their participation. We would also like to extend
our thanks to all our funders and stakeholders for their generous support andcooperation.

The Yokohama Triennale is an international exhibition of contemporary art heldin the city of Yokohama once every three years. The exhibition features bothinternationally renowned and up-and-coming artists, and presents the latest trends
and expressions in contemporary art.
Since its inauguration in 2001, the Yokohama Triennale has addressed therelationship between Japan and the world, and the individual and society, andreexamined the social role of art from a variety of perspectives, in response to aworld in constant flux.
The first three editions of the Yokohama Triennale (2001, 2005, 2008) wereprimarily organized and overseen by the Japan Foundation to enhance cultural
exchange between Japan and other countries and cultures through contemporary
art. The City of Yokohama took charge of the triennale beginning with the fourth
edition in 2011, and since that time, the Yokohama Museum of Art has served as
the main exhibition venue. The triennale is currently the leading project in theCreative City Yokohama Measures and is also a national project supported by the
Agency for Cultural Affairs.

The Yokohama Triennale and Its Mission■MISSION
The Yokohama Triennale, one of the leading international exhibitions ofcontemporary art in Japan, will spearhead the development of Creative City
Yokohama and cultivate a spiritually rich society that embraces diversity.
■GOALSTo open new channels through art
By celebrating contemporary art, the Yokohama Triennale provides opportunities
to engage in a wide range of expressions, which transcend a given genre or era,
to foster better understanding among people from many different generations andbackgrounds.
To engage with the world
As a national project, the Yokohama Triennale strives to contribute to international
exchange and mutual understanding through its commitment to conveying newprinciples and values.

For the sixth edition of the Triennale, we took a new approach and asked a groupof specialists to discuss the exhibition’s concept and theme for the edition in 2017.
They eventually arrived at the theme of“Islands, Constellations & Galapagos,”and
the three co-directors cooperated to formulate an overall plan, and 38 artists/groups and one project, from 22 countries, took part in the Triennale. The primaryvenues were the Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No. 1,
and Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall.
Since its inauguration in 2001, the Yokohama Triennale has consistently strived
to be a pioneering presence among Japanese art festivals. As we have worked onbroadening our base over the years, we were happy to see visitors with a wide
age range, and from many different countries. Together with the growth in thenumber of art biennials and triennials held in Japan and overseas, we have seen
the audience base for contemporary art steadily expanding.
This document records all the facts and figures related to Yokohama Triennale
2017, not limited to the contents of the exhibition, but also the various programs
to enhance access and exchange, including educational programs for the
younger generation, social inclusion programs, and international communicationand exchange initiatives. As the times change and various new approaches tointernational exhibitions are explored, we hope that this document will serve as a
useful reference for people involved in support of of culture and the arts.

Greetings

On Yokohama Triennale 2017

Since its inauguration in 2001, the Yokohama Triennale has been an importantnational project and one of Japan’s most prominent international festivalsof contemporary art. Thanks to the support of many people involved in its
organization and implementation, the sixth edition of Yokohama Triennale closed
after welcoming a total of approximately 260,000 visitors. I would like to express
my deepest gratitude to all those who made this edition of the Triennale possible,
including the participating artists, the organizations that provided assistance andsupport, and the Triennale volunteer supporters.

The Yokohama Triennale marked its sixth edition in 2017. Over the last 16 years
since the first Triennale in 2001, the world around us has continued to change at apace far exceeding our expectations.
Although we live in a world which is convoluted by ceaseless conflict and stricken
by frequent, large-scale natural disasters, it is possible to interpret this situation
as an opportunity to redefine society, and reconsider the scale of life and the way
we live. Contemporary art enables us to connect deeply with politics, economics,
natural environment, values and other aspects of the present age, and shows usthat diverse perspectives, interpretations, and expressions are always possible.

During this edition of the Triennale, there were exhibitions not only at the
Yokohama Museum of Art and Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No. 1 but also inthe basement of the Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall, which celebrated its
100th anniversary, and with the cooperation of local residents, a performance by
the theater group Suizokukan Gekijou was staged in Kotobuki-cho. We partneredwith six Creative City Core Area Bases, including BankART Studio NYK and the
Hatsune-cho, Kogane-cho and Hinode-cho Neighborhoods, on programs including“Yokohama Paratriennale 2017,”“Creative Waterways: Creative Bases Connecting
Rivers and Sea,” where works of art were displayed in aquatic settings including
the seaside area, the port and the Ooka River. Through enhanced cooperation with
Yokohama-based companies and art-related NPOs, the entire city of Yokohama wasthoroughly steeped in art.
Also, to realize a society tolerant of diversity with regard to disabilities, gender,
nationality and so forth, we have strived to make this a triennale that anyone canaccess and enjoy, and carried out initiatives for the next generation aimed at giving
young people opportunities to engage with art, heighten their sensibilities, anddeepen their understanding of diverse value systems.
The next Yokohama Triennale will coincide with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics andParalympics, and Japan will be gaining attention from around the world. With
the kind support of all those who have supported us over the 20 years since the
Triennale was launched, we will deliver to the world an international exhibition ofoutstanding contemporary art embodying diverse values, and create new value andvitality through culture and the arts.

In this edition of the Yokohama Triennale, we sought to examine the current stateof our world, harness art’s potential to show the world from multiple perspectives,and encourage each person to further contemplate on these issues individually.
The themes, connectivity and isolation, laid the grounds for not only the exhibition,
but also how and what we implement at the Yokohama Triennale. For example,
2017 marked the 150th year since power was restored to the Emperor from the
Shogunate. Yokohama became the symbol in Japan’s history when it started tomake connections to the world after centuries of isolation. As such, the history of
Yokohama became an important factor in building the related programs. We alsoprioritized dialogue and discussions with a wide range of experts from different
disciplines during the creative processes and exhibition preparations, so as toengage ourselves in a collaborative relationship with different parties. Whenengaging with other countries, we are often told that we are faceless and that itis difficult to identify their counterparts. The Yokohama Triennale has proactively
sought to build networks where we are visible to our colleagues in the international
network of biennales and triennales. As a result, we have been able to host the IBA(International Biennial Association) General Meeting in Yokohama. The performanceby the theater group Suizokukan Gekijou demonstrated how a network of people
could come together to overcome the isolation felt in Kotobuki-cho. Moreover,educators at the Yokohama Museum of Art put an extra effort into fostering
Triennale volunteer supporters as exhibition guides and many supporters carriedout a broader range of activities themselves to make the Triennale accessible toour visitors so that they are able to feel connected.
In recent years, there has been growing interest in mental and emotional stability,interpersonal connections, and mindful living as opposed to mere material wealth.
We hope that through the Yokohama Triennale, the potential of art will pour into
people’s lives like drops into an ocean, creating ripples that quietly but steadily
expand.

03 Exhibition Documentation
Curatorial Postscript: Beautiful Dissonance and Harmony
Yokohama Triennale 2017“Islands, Constellations & Galapagos,”was an attempt to think about the state of ourcurrent world, in which contradicting ideas and phenomena are intertwined in a complex and fluid way, throughartistic activities in relation to the ideas of “connectivity” and “isolation.” Its structure, which emulated anaggregation of mini solo exhibitions, was delivered as a metaphor for both an archipelago and constellations inthe sky, and aimed to provide a platform for thought and dialogue, in which various voices joined together, andthe past and present, the local and the global, art and other fields and society as a whole could connect.
For that reason, the Conception Meeting included specialists in non-art fields such as philosophy and anatomy.
A performance by the theater group Suizokukan Gekijou was held in Kotobuki-cho, previously one of Japan’sthree largest day-laborer districts; the Yokohama Sites project connected existing facilities and places throughthe Triennale theme and local history; and the discussion series Yokohama Round encouraged an experience ofappreciating the exhibition over a period of time by revisiting the theme under different topics. These various
experiments were meant to approach the theme through both planar (spatial) and linear (temporal) schemes,
and also to provide opportunities to reconsider Yokohama’s site specificity.
Through these collaborations among many parties, we did not seek to summarize things in an easy-tounderstand manner. Needless to say there were risks involved in turning our eyes to the coexistence andrelationship of differing value orders, as well as their complexity, which entail unpredictability, friction, andconfusion. In some ways it may have been difficult for people used to ordinary art exhibitions to understandour approach. For us who were working for the Triennale, dealing and negotiating with various specialists andfacilities were, in fact. a significant learning experience, notwithstanding the many difficulties and inadequacies.
That being said, one of the Triennale’s intentions was to place ourselves in an unpredictable situation, as
expressed by one of the Conception Meeting members, Takashina Shuji, when reviewing the significance ofthe exhibition at the time of its closing: “Our focus on the archipelago does not signify a broad universality,
but rather the fact that things become visible through contact between diverse, multiple systems, and theentire world can be shaken to its foundations when viewed from multiple perspectives.” This endeavor was
made possible because the Yokohama Triennale has continued to be held, although it has yet to count only six
editions thus far. But today, with the number of art festivals and international exhibitions ever increasing, it isalways crucial to examine how the museum, a somewhat isolated space, which has been the main venue since
the fourth edition, can take on a valid and unique position, make effective use of its autonomy, and delve into
relationships between its collection, the history of the locality, and the community. I believe it was meaningful
for us to reexamine our position in this regard.
In the afore-mentioned review, there were various intriguing insights involving relationships inbetween
substances or existences, including those that seem unrelated; the importance of the sensation of being unable
to interpret something; grasping the world through a sort of cosmic grammar; and the contemporary relevanceof art as a“means of survival.”But the phrase“beautiful dissonance”is a phrase that has stayed with me themost. This was perhaps most symbolically conveyed in the exhibition space on the third floor of Yokohama Red
Brick Warehouse No.1 featuring Ozawa Tsuyoshi, Christian Jankowski, UJINO and others. While varying sounds
and lights sometimes interfered with each other, each artwork stood firmly independent in their co-existence.
Or, even if something intervened between them, harmonies could be produced and move our heart as shownin the video by Ragnar Kjartansson. Therefore, we shall believe in the words of Olafur Eliasson that art has thepotential to create connections.

Suizokukan GekijouThis World-like Dream: Final but Unfinished Kotobuki Version●

Ganki-Inari

Suizokukan Gekijou, established in 1987, has wandered the country and developed asa unique theater troupe who brought hidden aspects of history to light while exploring
the primal roots of performing arts. For the Yokohama Triennale, they set up a tent
like a phantom island in the heart of Kotobuki-cho, and staged an original play set in
Yokohama. The catharsis emerging from the spectacular trick stage with several tons ofwater flowing down like a waterfall has created a new legend in the city.
