new artworks from 2013 @ Inujima


The year 2013 celebrated the 2nd International Setouchi Art Festival followed by the one in 2010. The triennale attracted lots of attention and visitors. Visitors to Inujima saw new installations in the Art House project area and the same artist did the following two. The galleries were designed by SEJIMA Kazuyo, one of the SANAA architects. What you see looks different through contact lenses and the flowers look like floating in the water, being reflected there. The title is wisely conceived of: reflectwo.

And the big doggy. This is done by a local artist commissioned by the community and indifferent to Benesse art but simply cute and and good. The dog will stay as part of the island.

Isn't this an artistic piece of cloud in the sky??


Seen on the hill are the oval wing of Benesse House (higher) and Chichu Museum (closer to the clouds). The gate keeper's office designed by ANDO is also seen.
