2ND AICHI TRIENNALE 2013
Awakening
Where Are We Standing?
Earth, Memory and Resurrection
10 August - 27 October 2013

Artistic Director: Taro Igarashi

The highly-anticipated Aichi triennale is back in August, 2013. the international arts festival, held every three years, returns for its second showing with the theme of “Awakening – Where Are We Standing? – earth, Memory and Resurrection.” Participants from around the world will showcase a broad range of cutting-edge visual and performing arts, and opera. their work will draw attention to social shifts taking place globally, including the changes caused by the Great east Japan earthquake, and will incorporate a focus on architecture.

The main venue for the event is the Aichi Ar ts Center, a huge complex comprising an ar t museum and three theaters of varying size. During the triennale, the Center will show off its many assets as an entity united by one theme. Fans of different performance styles will have a chance to discover new genres as they mingle at the venue.

In the nagoya City Ar t Museum, architects and ar tists will collaborate to present a fresh interpretation of the concept of space. exhibitions and per formances will also take place beyond the walls of museums and theaters, in nagoya City and the city of Okazaki. A range of artworks will go on display in everyday settings in both of these cities, where they will be accessible to all members of the public.

Buildings around the city will also become objects of new found appreciation. the “Aichi Architecture Guide” will be made available to explain the histor y and features of these structures, which will be opened up to the public for the duration of the festival.

Up-and-coming artists will also take their work to four sites as part of a traveling exhibition called Mobile Triennale.

Aichi Triennale 2013 will be entertaining first and foremost, but it will also aim to give visitors a chance to see the world afresh through ar t, and to rediscover the charms of the urban environment.
