Teshima, Kagawa Pref. \u2013 <\/p>\n
Step off the ferry at Teshima\u2019s Ieura port, 25 minutes from the nearest mainland city of Tamano, Okayama Prefecture, and life goes quiet. The odd car passes by; occasionally, a town bus. On the far side of the island, tucked away in a dilapidated house southeast of the port and southwest of the island\u2019s titular art museum, Chiharu Shiota\u2019s \u201cMemory of Lines\u201d waits for visitors.<\/p>\n
The installation opened this spring on Teshima as part of the Setouchi Triennale<\/a>, and will reopen Aug. 1 for the summer edition. Remote and hard to access, even by the standards of the lesser known far-flung art island<\/a> in the Seto Inland Sea, the work risks being seen only by scant numbers of people.<\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t bother the acclaimed Osaka-born, Berlin-based artist Shiota, whose highly photogenic signature red-string sculptures have become globally recognizable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Teshima, Kagawa Pref. \u2013 Step off the ferry at Teshima\u2019s Ieura port, 25 minutes from the nearest mainland…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34343,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[31571,449,458,459,64,63,31569,31570,460,134,31568,31572],"class_list":["post-34342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-art-island","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-chiharu-shiota","tag-contemporary-art","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-setouchi-triennale","tag-teshima"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34342\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
