The Organizing Committee for Yokohama Triennale announces the full list of artists for its sixth edition, Yokohama Triennale 2017, Islands, Constellations & Galapagos, which embarks on a multi-faceted examination of the themes of connectivity and isolation.
At the main venues—Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No. 1, and Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall—works in diverse media by approximately 40 artists or groups from Japan and the world will be exhibited. It may appear like an aggregation of small solo exhibitions by a tightly selected group of artists, with many of them showing multiple works to give the viewers a deeper understanding of individual artists’ creative worlds, and at the same time, to embody the image of these worlds gradually connecting like stars or islands forming constellations and archipelagoes.
