yokohama 2005



the second international triennale of contemporary art
‘art circus’ (jumping from the ordinary)
yamashita pier no. 3 and 4, 2 warehouses, etc.
in yokohama, japan
september 28th - december 18, 2005
http://www.yokohama2005.jp

the exhibition is entitled
‘art circus’ (jumping from the ordinary).
what kind of people and ideas / concepts generate and
produce art? in what ways does art penetrate our lives?
and what are the changes that take place as a result?
one of the aims of yokohama 2005 is to reconsider and
reevaluate the function of art and the power of art in
modern society.
the organizers wish the exhibition to be a venue for
communication rather than simply a site for visitors to
observe the works on display. they wish to introduce
the inherent function and thrill of contemporary art
- the enhancement of our sensibilities and challenges
to our values - something that is becoming lost in our
everyday lives.

the triennale has been organized by the japan foundation,
the city of yokohama, NHK, the asahi shimbun,
and the organizing committee.
the artistic director is tadashi kawamata.
on show are 71 projects by 86 artists from 30 different
countries.
