First held in 1999, this year marks the fifth edition of the Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale (FT5 for short). The international exhibition is held under a different theme every three years to showcase the most promising artists from across Asia. Highly acclaimed both in Japan and around the world for its focus on contemporary Asian art, the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum aims to create a space of art exchange between Fukuoka and Asia through the event.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Fukuoka Triennale also commemorates the 15th anniversary of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. The exhibitions feature paintings, sculptures, installations, films and other artworks from around Asia, and some artists visit Fukuoka to create joint works, hold workshops, and give lectures. This year, 46 artists from 21 countries and regions are scheduled to participate in the triennale, including several first-time Japanese artists; the exhibition will feature many new works in the fields of video, animation, photography, design, and media art. This year\u2019s special section is called \u201cNew Era of Mongolian Painting: From Tradition to the Modernity\u201d and focuses on the artwork of ten emerging artists of traditional painting.<\/p>\n

As an added bonus, this year’s event is being held in conjunction with Yokohama Triennale 2014, with the Fukuoka Triennale itself participating in the Yokohama exhibit as a “featured artist.” Aimed at promoting interaction between the two exhibitions, this first-ever collaboration will allow visitors to the Yokohama Triennale enjoy works displayed at past and current Fukuoka Triennales.<\/p>\n

Fukuoka Triennale \u201cArt Exchange Program\u201d <\/strong>
\nAlong with the exhibition, the Fukuoka Triennale also runs a special \u201cArt Exchange Program.\u201d While the program offers various art exchange events to the local people, it also invites some FT5 participating artists to \u201cArtists-in-Residence\u201d program. This year, around 20 FT5 artists and groups from Asia are invited to participate in the program.<\/p>\n

We sat down with three of the artists (and also this month\u2019s cover models!) currently in Fukuoka on the FT5 Artist-in-Residence program – just after they arrived in town. All three artists are participating in the 5th Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale from 9\/6 (Sat.) ~ 11\/30 (Sun.) at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum.<\/p>\n

Tell us about your participation in the upcoming 5th Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale? How did you become involved?<\/strong>
\nLast year, Kuroda Raiji (chief curator of FT5) came to Indonesia and we met while I was preparing my solo show. He saw the preparation of my show and interviewed me. End of last year we met again at Jogja Biennale, which I took part in, and he suggested that I send a proposal for the FT5 residency program. I did and I my proposal was accepted. So here I am.<\/p>\n

Tell us, if you can, briefly about the art you\u2019ll make for the Triennale<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m using a packaging box called Duplex, which was collected by volunteers and staff at FAAM. With that material I will make a mapping of the cycle of energy. It will be a mural of duplex.<\/p>\n

And what are you looking forward to at this Triennale?<\/strong>
\nEverything! It\u2019s the first time for me to join a regional triennale. As I\u2019m currently working alongside the other artists in the studio, I am really looking forward to seeing all of the other works.<\/p>\n

What medium\/s do you work in?<\/strong>
\nFor this show it\u2019s duplex with a paper cutting and assembling technique, but I work with video, photography, performance… basically all mediums. One medium I haven’t tried properly is painting.<\/p>\n

What are the common themes in your art?<\/strong>
\nIn the last 7 years I have been working more on environmental issues. I like to use everyday objects and activities to talk about global issues.<\/p>\n

What are your impressions of Fukuoka so far<\/strong>?
\nWell, I\u2019ve come to Fukuoka straight from Aomori, where I spent the past month and a half in another residency with a very different atmosphere. It was located in a forest on the hill, so in comparison Fukuoka feels like a real big city! I find in general that Japanese people are polite, which makes you feel comfortable and safe.<\/p>\n

Did you know anything about Fukuoka before coming here?<\/strong>
\nI had heard that it was hot, that\u2019s it! And a friend had told me about the street food, so I\u2019m looking forward to trying that.<\/p>\n

Tell us about your participation in the upcoming 5th Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m really excited! I\u2019ve got a big commissioned project which I\u2019ve been working on in collaboration with the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum for some time now. It\u2019s very ambitious. Also under construction is a performance piece. I will also be showing digital prints that relate to futurism – portrait photos about the future of consumption.<\/p>\n

And what are you looking forward to at this Triennale?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m looking forward to seeing so much Southeast Asian and South Asian art under one roof. I\u2019m ready to see lots of art.<\/p>\n

What medium\/s do you work in?<\/strong>
\nFuture technologies. I work in the future\/digital realm.<\/p>\n

What are the common themes in your art?<\/strong>
\nScience fiction, but I prefer terming it as speculative fiction. Most of my work so far has been a hybrid of organized religion, superstitions, myths and digital culture<\/p>\n

What are your impressions of Fukuoka so far?<\/strong>
\nI feel like I\u2019ve been plonked into a TV show! I\u2019ve been interested in Japanese culture for some time, and being here is fulfilling all of my expectations.<\/p>\n

Did you know anything about Fukuoka before coming here?<\/strong>
\nApart from the Museum, I didn\u2019t really know anything before coming here. But being interested in science fiction, I\u2019m interested in Robo Square.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cUnited Islands\u201d is a combination of my different projects in the \u201cFunction Color\u201d series of works. I\u2019ve been collecting data from participants on the web page of \u201cUnited Islands\u201d, relating to how colors recall our memories. I re-made cartoon characters\u2019 colors in wheels. On the web page, people can send requests for my works made from their favorite cartoon characters. After collecting the data, I will select the Top 50 most popular characters from participants, and make rotary portraits based on these 50 characters\u2019 colors using a rotating painting machine.<\/p>\n

And what are you looking forward to at this Triennale?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m looking forward to seeing the requests and responses from Japanese public. Most of the requests I receive from Taiwanese participants are for Japanese and American cartoon characters, since we don\u2019t have our own animation, cartoon or manga industries in Taiwan. So, I want to find out what the popular characters in Japan are. Also, I hope to get more participants to join my work and relate to each other through the colors of cartoon characters, building up communication from collective memories.<\/p>\n

What medium\/s do you work in?<\/strong>
\nDigital graphics, paintings and animations.<\/p>\n

What are the common themes in your art?<\/strong>
\nRemaking the collective memory through colors of cartoon characters.<\/p>\n

What are your impressions of Fukuoka so far?<\/strong>
\nVery relaxed. The food is very delicious – it\u2019s different from the Japanese food in Taiwan. For example the ramen tastes different. There are less ingredients in the ramen here, but it is great.<\/p>\n

Did you know anything about Fukuoka before coming here?<\/strong>
\nYes, I had heard about the railway system. My family is planning to visit FT5 in September, so we did some research on how to enjoy Fukuoka. We found that there are so many types of special trains for adventure, and hot springs also seem very popular.<\/p>\n
