Basic Thinking Behind the “Art Project”

The “Art Project,” the core aspect of Saitama Triennale 2016, will be constructed based on the following three elements.

Artists

Under the theme of "Envisioning the Future!," we have selected artists with exceptional insight, imagination and creativity with the potential to shine on the global stage. Artists will come up with a concept for an art project that will lead audiences to envision the future from everyday scenes through spotlighting the hidden relationships and new possibilities after touring the site.

Sites

Three areas with unique characteristics that can highlight the features of the living city of Saitama were designated and specific exhibition sites were selected within those areas. While combining the sites with artists, specific contents of each project will be developed and finalized.

Opportunity for participation and collaboration

Through dialogue with artists, time will be taken to decide on the venue and content of each art project. Moreover, the overall focus of this triennale is to “participate” and “make it together.” Pursuant to this objective, various efforts will also be made for participation and collaboration in art projects.
