Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2018 attracted more than a half million visitors to Japan’s Niigata prefecture. Highly regarded both within and outside Japan as a unique approach to revitalising regional communities, the Triennale operates under the guiding principle of “humans are part of nature”. This book shows how the 51-day event brought contemporary art into the region’s abundant nature, itself typical of the underlying landscape imaginary of Japan. The festival’s seventh iteration saw numerous new artworks created through collaborations between artists and locals, and using art as a starting point for community building has become a mainstream approach throughout Japan.
