Yokohama Triennale The Yokohama Triennale series of international exhibitions of contemporary art, first held in 2001, has made its third exhibition in 2008. While showcasing newly-released artworks of the cutting-edge contemporary art around the globe, the Triennale features many site-specific works highlighting the distinctive charms of the host city so that it unfolds the large extravaganza of art. Vigorous supplementary events was conducted during the exhibition period, including symposiums to flesh out the Triennale concept and the workshops and gallery talks to enhance the dialogue among the artists, participants, and the visitors. The Triennale seeks to establish and strengthen ties with art organizations and other international exhibition secretariats in Japan and abroad. Based on the comprehensive exhibition theme set by the artistic director, a diverse range of artworks--including videos, installations, photography, painting, and sculpture--by 72 selected artists from 25 different countries and regions were put on display. festival name : Yokohama Triennale country : Japan city : Yokohama venue : Central and Waterfront Sites in Yokohama, etc. period : 2008.9.13 -> 2008.11.30 URL : http://www.yokohamatriennale.jp
