NYK Waterfront Warehouse

The fourth edition of the Yokohama Triennale is focused on works of art that refer to the mysteries of the world and our everyday lives - such things as magic-like powers, supernatural phenomena, mythology, legend and animism.

Yokohama Triennale 2011 takes place both outdoors and indoors at two main venues, the Yokohama Museum of Art and BankART Studio NYK. lt includes artworks by just over 60 contemporary artists and also some from the museum's collection. From site-specific installations and media work to modern painting and historical objects such as Coptic tapestry fragments, the exhibition includes a wide range of artworks in terms of both age and material.

One of the distinctive features of this Triennale is that there are unexpected "encounters" at various corners of the exhibition space.
