BankART Studio NYK, a former bank building converted into an art space, is one of the key venues in the Triennale, housing work by some twenty artists.
'Torary' seems to be a guerilla ''truck gallery'', possibly gatecrashing the Triennale! Yay~! Apparently they will be parked right here throughout, between the Red Brick Warehouses and BankART Studio NYK.Photo: OK

Olivier is a relative newcomer to Japan, but has been an outside observer for many years. While trying to concentrate on researching recent artistic exchanges between Japan and China, he instead often ends up seeing 'yet another' exhibition. He doesn’t like admitting it, but he harbours photographic aspirations, depending on the weather. He has long focused his interest on photomedia, issues surrounding modernity in Asia, as well as recent art from China, Korea and Japan.
