Yokohama Triennale 2017: \u201cIslands, Constellations & Galapagos.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

August 4 \u2013 November 5, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No.1, Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall (Basement)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe this is the result of being a curator myself, but when I look at an exhibition I tend to view the curatorial statement as a kind of mandate, something which the curators set out to fulfill. I am something of a stickler . . . the words \u201ccantankerous\u201d and \u201cobstinate\u201d would not be out of place. Like an exam invigilator I peruse the artworks with furrowed brows; in my mind, I doll out check-marks and x\u2019s, a smile of understanding or a disapproving frown. Perhaps it\u2019s a bit dogmatic, but I find it a useful tool for sorting and analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, if you set yourself with something simple like \u201cViva Arte Viva\u201d or some such giant catch-all theme then you will most likely fulfill your remit, but you would also be graded accordingly. At the risk of sounding completely reductionist, I see it as the \u201cjob\u201d of the curator to make sense of the vague amorphous mass of information and organize it into a coherent structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some might say that that kills the magic, to create a kind of matrix in which all artworks must be slotted \u2014 but like an unabashed schoolmarm I will crisply demand that \u201cno square pegs shall be placed in round holes.\u201d I have applied this rather dogmatic metric to the Yokohama Triennale, and unlike many biennales and trien<\/ins>nales, it received remarkably high marks. So before we get into the work let\u2019s break it down to brass tacks: the basic summary presented in their press materials reads as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIslands,\u201d \u201cconstellations,\u201d and \u201cGalapagos,\u201d are words that open possibilities for us to discuss various issues such as isolation and connectivity, imagination and guidance, distinctness and diversity, among others. In contemplating what we shall consider wisdom for our future during this time of uncertainty, we hope to engage people in these discussions using our imagination and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isolation and connectivity\u2014two themes which have great relevance to the world at large, and Japan in particular, meanwhile Galapagos refers to a distinctive phenomenon native to Japan, \u201cGalapagos Syndrome\u201d, whereby Japanese companies evolve certain products, which though very successful in Japan do not fare well in foreign markets. Key examples used are the mobile phone (Japanese phone technology is quite advanced, yet the phones often flop on the international market) and the Kei car (not to be confused with the K Car) \u2014 a lightweight car which received encouragement and incentives from the Japanese government but never found a footing abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key point is that the government created a special environment for the Kei car to thrive and this idea of protecting and nurturing to create special kind of \u201chothouse\u201d very much reflects the changing mentality of the Japanese labor force which is increasingly shy, unwilling to leave Japan\u2019s borders for work experience abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholars Matori Yamamoto and Cindy Yoshiko Shirata, in their article \u201cEvolving Transnationalism in the Asia-Pacific Region: The Perspective of Social Science in Japan\u201d write:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cthe [Galapagos] islands are a paradise of plant-eating animals. The absence of meat-eating animals leads to the absence of hard competition, since the animals do not fight to eat each other. In a similar vein, it is said that more Japanese, especially young Japanese, tend to evade competition and confrontation these days, in contrast to the period right after World War II, when Japanese society was very competitive in order to achieve rapid economic development.\u201d [1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this very specific local theme we can extrapolate more general themes related to the concept of islands, island culture, the evolution of culture within different isolated societies and this would be enough to develop a sophisticated and provocative triennale, but then you have the \u201cconstellations\u201d element, which seems in a purely visual sense similar to an archipelago, (little dots of matter in a great expanse), but in fact a constellation is a very different concept as a collection of lights, distant and far away, celestial bodies which generally cannot support life. I guess one could say that from our own \u201csocial\u201d and \u201cgeopolitical\u201d islands, all other places and things seem like far away lights but the curators have linked it to \u201cimagination and guidance.\u201d Sure it\u2019s true that since humanity is not mixed into one homogenous glob, that various countries and islands (metaphorical and real) produce culture and knowledge independently, evolving different products and ideas, but somehow this part seems to dangle lamely off the end of the concept as if someone in the triennale committee sought to take the edge off the more probing and self-critical elements and add in some happy sappy ideas more palatable to the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic Director, Akiko Miki in her statement about the project mentions a few key concepts which help frame the whole enterprise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the world today is expanding beyond traditional frameworks, and various kinds of networks are growing, it is being shaken to its foundations by challenges such as conflict, refugees and immigration, and the emergence of protectionism, xenophobia, and populism. At the same time, the world is awash in data far exceeding the processing capacity of human beings, and in an increasingly complex and sophisticated environment where communication tools such as social media are developing rapidly, people appear to be banding together into small, disparate groups of \u201cisland universe\u201d and communities. Also, there is increasingly assertive activity by a wide range of small-scale organizations that challenge the dictates of superpowers and centralized political systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay great. Akiko Miki wins Massive points for clarity. We know what to expect. In many ways this is a very sophisticated triennale with deep interconnected webs of ideas which bind it together; for instance, the island metaphor extends to the curatorial approach which focuses on 40 artists each with their own cluster or archipelagos of works. It seems like a thoughtful method which benefits both viewer and artist. Despite a few seemingly disparate works (for instance Joko Avianto\u2019s bamboo installation, \u201cThe border between good and evil is terribly frizzy\u201d), on the whole we can say that this tightly curated triennale featured works which not only reinforced the theme but expanded it in different directions without stretching it to the breaking point making probing forays into topics such as \u201cideological reach\u201d, migration, perceptual islands, the island in the literary imagination, the cultural evolution of isolated areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The first work encountered by the viewers is\u00a0Ai Weiwei\u2019s \u201cSafe Passage\u201d \u2014 a collection of inflatable rafts and life vests collected from refugees which adorn the outside of the museum setting the tone in a pretty obvious way. Some might say too obvious, but for the general public sometimes very clear hints like this can help provide traction on a difficult concept. The idea of countries as islands, places where we are either \u201cstranded\u201d or need to escape from, is all too familiar for Ai Weiwei \u2014 a refugee himself who has a\u00a0complicated\u00a0relationship\u00a0with his homeland, his expressions existing largely on the internet\u00a0outside<\/em>\u00a0the great firewall of China, his exhibitions occurring primarily abroad. \u201cHe Xie\u201d, a collection of\u00a0porcelain hairy crabs (which actually look more plastic) underlines this idea of the\u00a0\u201cterritoriality\u201d\u00a0within the internet,\u00a0hexie\u00a0<\/em>being Chinese internet slang for\u00a0\u201ccensorship\u201d. Sure the work is an unabashed one-liner, but it does\u00a0contribute an interesting dimension in its discussion of the layers of virtual worlds which are the \u201cislands\u201d of cyberspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Leaving the main atrium, we see the work of\u00a0Map Office, displayed on a purpose-built platform, which acts as a vehicle\u00a0through\u00a0which the artists introduce some of the geopolitical, social, historical and philosophical concepts associated with the island through the meticulous research-based platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their work \u201cMoving Lemuria\u201d recalls the story of a mythical island, a supposed sunken continent between the Indian and the Pacific Ocean. Their installation is composed of shells and garbage taken from the beach on Sanibel Island, off the coast of Florida. Combining myth and reality, the work examines how<\/em> islands are created, and for whom<\/em>\u2014more and more we see them function as territories for military bases and other forms of flag planting as is the case with \u201cLiquid Land | Solid Sea\u201d  which examines the build up in the South China Sea, positioning islands as pawns in geopolitical machinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Picking up on this geopolitical theme, Map Office has collected the literary imaginings of islands taken from Japanese literature. A small booklet features snippets from Japanese authors, for instance, Haruki Murakami\u2019s novel\u00a0IQ84<\/em>\u00a0which\u00a0talks about the history of\u00a0Sakhalin\u00a0island just off the tip of Hokkaido near Russia\u2014the source\u00a0of\u00a0many a territorial squabble. In their installation \u201cIsland for the Color Blind\u201d, the physical island morphs into a perceptual one with an island made out red and green sea urchin shells spelling out the number 69 in the classical pattern of the Ishihara test. The sea itself presents its own kind of color blindness, with the blue-green cast of underwater light and particles floating in the water impacting our perception of color. Fish and other water-based\u00a0mammals\u00a0see differently from us, as do those facing various kinds of sensory impairments, which places them on a different plane of perception \u2014 at once isolated from those with normal sensory faculties but connected to others who share the same impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>After wending our way through Map Office\u2019s trail of literary and political references, the viewer is greeted by the work\u00a0of\u00a0Mr., which at first seems\u00a0strikingly\u00a0out of place against the denser research-based practice of Map Office; the work employs the\u00a0aesthetics of manga and anime, featuring pretty strong hints of\u00a0lolicon\u00a0<\/em>(aka Lolita complex),<\/em>\u00a0with a painting of a naked man leering over a young girl with a miniature boy balancing on his penis. At first, the inclusion of his\u00a0work seemed like a strategy\u00a0to appeal to the pop tastes of certain audiences, but with its focus on\u00a0otaku,<\/em>\u00a0this culture\u00a0which emerged out of the specific Galapagos-like conditions of Japan, the choice to include it was logical, though some didactics on the background of the work might have been helpful justifying its inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The dance between isolation and inclusion, the center and the possibilities of the periphery are also at play in Yoi Kawakubo\u2019s \u201cSlice of a Torus for Terra Australis\u201d\u00a0which looks at\u00a0the\u00a0continent of Antarctica as a kind of non-territorial heterotopia \u2014 a space shared between\u00a0the\u00a0western nations for\u00a0ecological\u00a0research purposes where mining and development are prohibited. What interests Yoi Kawakubo is the utopian implications of a space which has not been perforated by\u00a0one\u00a0flag of\u00a0one<\/em>\u00a0dominant nation. The work is a kind of mental map of the artist\u2019s thoughts (Fukushima, capitalism, the dawn of globalization, authorship etc.) presented in the form of territory. The body of works presented by Yoi in this section are titled\u00a0\u201cEl Sur\u201d which in Spanish connotes not only the idea of \u201csouth\u201d but also a place removed from civilization \u2014 a kind of frontier, separate from other dominant national cultures.[2]<\/a>\u00a0In another work, \u201cAtlas\u2019 Wall,\u201d the artist has sanded off layers of paint, from previous installs in the museum and the resulting shape looks like an economic graph. The name not only conjures up the Greek god, usually depicted with a globe on\u00a0his shoulders but also a sense of geographical time, (perhaps even \u201cart time\u201d or \u201cmuseum time\u201d) \u2014 his excavations evoking the intimate relationships between economics, commodities, and the lust for territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>This triennale feels, in a sense, like a series of overlaid maps, different territories and political ideologies mapped onto geographical regions \u2014 a theme which is reinforced with Christian Jankowski\u2019s work \u201cHeavy Weight History\u201d.\u00a0This time instead of Atlas with the world on his shoulders we\u00a0have Polish weightlifters bearing the weight of history,\u00a0literally hoisting up statues from not only the Communist era but also figures such as Ronald Reagan from the streets and squares of Warsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Then in his video \u201cMassage Masters\u201d\u00a0 history is being massaged \u2014 public sculptures in Yokohama being caressed by Japanese masseuses recalling the frequent re-crafting and retelling of historical narratives which is all too familiar an activity in Japan. In \u201cArtistic Gymnastics\u201d we are presented with instructions on how to hold a certain pose to become a live human sculpture. The instructions are written in the style of an exercise video and the figures interact with sculptures in a comedic act which problematizes \u201chistorical stances and postures\u201d, the public performance of historical narratives and the links between athleticism and nationalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Also in the realm of dubious cultural exchanges, Wael Shawky presented\u00a0\u201cCabaret of the Crusades: The Secrets of Karbalaa\u201d\u2014an alternative view of the overseas\u00a0adventures\u00a0of the Latin Church, blurring the lines between history and fiction in court dramas enacted through\u00a0puppetry.\u00a0Shawky\u2019s project was\u00a0inspired by the book\u00a0Crusades through Arab Eyes<\/em>\u00a0(1983), a collection of writings about the crusades by Arab writers of the Middle Ages,[3]<\/a>\u00a0and the video seeks to explore how the entry of the Crusaders forced previously harmonious groups to splinter off into warring religious and cultural identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding a lighter touch to the theme of cultural isolation is Sputniko!\u2019s \u201cWhy Are We?\u201d Project, a wall of national flags featuring five commonly-searched topics about said country using the auto-suggestion function of a google search engine. While a country like Japan might have queries such as \u201cWhy is Japan so cool?\u201d, Taiwan gets, \u201cWhy is Taiwan not a country\u201d, meanwhile the UAE has three questions about wealth, the others left blank as if the public has exhausted its store of curiosity. This very simple installation and the rudimentary nature of the questions illustrates that we are still largely confined to our own islands . . . despite the connectivity of the internet, we are still hopelessly ignorant about the fundamentals of life in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Over at the other main venue, the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No. 1 (a former customs house), Ozawa Tsuyoshi presented \u201cThe Return of K.T.O\u201d, which offers an exploration of the art historian Kakuzo \u201cTenshin\u201d Okakura and his personal struggles with local identity and internationalism. K.T.O was very influential and exposing the west to Japanese culture, influencing a number of figures from Heidegger to Tagore. The film takes the form of a music video which somewhat problematizes the gaze of the other and the act of travel as a means of self-discovery featuring the lyrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching from your journey, now in a six-sided hut. Watching the rough waves dance and rage. You continued to meditate on imperfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The life of K.T.O. does in many ways illustrate the conundrum of Island communication. As an individual who was deeply enmeshed in many cultures, with excellent language skills, who had a true intellectual dialogue with other scholars and artists around him, he nonetheless was the proponent of essentialist ideas seeing Asian cultures as focused on the transcendental and the spiritual whilst the west was only interested in immediate and earthbound concerns \u2014 perhaps islands and archipelagos are intricately entwined in the fate of humankind \u2014 no matter how much we try to comprehend others, we find it hard to escape from our hardwired cultural narratives says scholar M.G Sheftall:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the most immediate interface of humans and culture, the symbolic function of culture provides us with a medium within which \u2014 and by which \u2014 we are able to create explanatory narratives for our existence (e.g., cultural creation myths, religious cannons, etc.). Such narratives provide us with individual and collective senses of cosmic significance. . . . As psychiatrist Ronnie Janoff-Bulman has framed this cultural function, \u201cour symbolic world is an attempt to overcome and deny our biological fate.\u201d[4]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In speaking of biological fate, Janoff-Bulman is referring to mortality and our fear of it. This symbolic world of culture and meaning acts as a kind of opiate, a balm applied to this inevitable fact. Yet at the same time, these symbolic worlds act as both fortresses and prisons, creating walls between disparate groups, when ironically mortality is one of the few areas of common ground shared by all humanity, that and of course taxes. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
