The art on Naoshima is permanent and can be seen at any time, while most of the art of the other islands is temporary and can be seen only during the Triennale (of course if you have the time, the best is to go to Naoshima and the other islands, but if choices have to be made, maybe it's more interesting to visit other places then, and Naoshima on the years when the Triennale is not being held).<br /><br />Also Mitsubishi Materials has no link whatsoever with the Setouchi Triennale. It is managed by the Benesse Foundation (which is itself controlled by the Benesse Corporation).<br /><br />"Restoration of the Sea" is the theme of the Triennale every time, not just this once, as its main goal is to revive the islands that are in danger of disappearing (without it, some of them could become ghost islands in a decade or two).<br /><br />In any case, this is an event not to be missed this year.David in Setouchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895289419248698831noreply@blogger.com
