ART Fahrenheit 451: Sailing into the sea of oblivion is the title of this year’s Yokohama Triennale, which was first held in 2001.It is regarded as one of the most important exhibitions of contemporary art in Asia and a pioneer in Japan. With artist Morimura Yasumasa as artistic director, the Triennale began in August and ended in November 2014, and was located in two main venues: Yokohama Museum of Art and Shinko Pier Exhibition Hall..The organisers were Yokohama city, Yokohama Arts Foundation, Japan Broadcasting Corporation, Asahi Shimbun, and the Organising Committee for Yokohama Triennale).The title was taken from Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451.The story is about a group of people who oppose the society that bans and burns books by memorising the full texts in an attempt to secretly pass on the wisdom they contain. They choose to be ‘forgotten’ by society, storing a huge amount of memory taken from books. This exhibition sought to introduce artworks that share this spirit and attitude, which go beyond generations and borders.Visual artsYOKOHAMA TRIENNALE 2014Dora García y Karmelo BermejoYokohama, JapanYokohama Museum of Art, 01 Aug - 03 Nov 2014 Shinko Pier Exhibition Hall, 01 Aug - 03 Nov 201490Results ’14
