Artistic directors of the 9th Yokohama Triennale shared a sneak preview of their vision, focusing on the sea, mythology, and infrastructure.

Summary

Artistic directors Cosmin Costinaș and Inti Guerrero have unveiled the initial conceptual framework for the 9th Yokohama Triennale, scheduled for 2027. Drawing parallels between the port cities of Yokohama and Hong Kong, the curators plan to explore themes of the sea, mythology, and technological infrastructure. By utilizing symbols like the oarfish and whale falls, the exhibition aims to address contemporary crises and regeneration. The show will feature approximately 80 artist groups, integrating new commissions with a reinterpretation of the Yokohama Museum of Art's existing collection.
