The Yokohama Triennale is an international exhibition of contemporary art held once every three years. The inaugural edition was held in 2001, and this year marks its 3rd installment. Based on a comprehensive exhibition theme decided upon by the artistic director, a diverse range of artworks—including video, installation, photography, painting and sculpture—by about 60 to 70 artists selected from countries all over the world will be put on display.
While the Triennale will mainly showcase newly-commissioned cutting-edge works of contemporary art from around the globe, it will also feature many site-specific works highlighting the distinctive charms of the host city. Supplementary events will also be held during the exhibition period, including symposiums to flesh out the Triennale concept, as well as workshops and gallery talks to promote dialogue among artists, participants and visitors. The Triennale will also seek to establish and strengthen ties with art organizations and other international exhibition secretariats both in Japan and abroad.
The NYK Waterfront Warehouse, built in 1952, is a three minute walk from the Bashamichi subway station. After having served as a distribution warehouse for shipping company Nippon Yusen (NYK Line), and then as the site for the NYK Archives Museum, the building currently houses BankART Studio NYK. Following a partial renovation, the second and third floors of the building will be used as the main exhibition spaces for the Yokohama Triennale 2008. About 20 artists will install their works here, including Matthew Barney, Kosugi Takehisa, and Joan Jonas.
The event's other main venues are the Shinko Pier and Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse Number 1 Space.
