The first "Sense Island - Sarushima Dark Museum" was held in 2019 on the uninhabited island of Sarushima. This event has since been held under the cover and stillness of night with the aim of reawakening visitors' true human senses through artwork installed throughout the island. Last year we did the groundwork with our "Research Events," and now, as this year's Sense Island takes place not just on Sarushima but also throughout the city, the name has been updated to "SENSE ISLAND／LAND." With this new expansion, visitors can also enjoy art during the daytime as well as night.
Yokosuka is where Commodore Perry first arrived in Japan, it played a vital role protecting territory during WWII, and is known nowadays for its blend of American culture. "SENSE ISLAND／LAND" is an experiment that seeks to visualize and recontextualize both time and land through art, by bringing our attention to the "geological strata" of Yokosuka as an accumulation of history, culture, and industry.
Yokosuka is home to Sarushima, the largest uninhabited island in Tokyo Bay; Kannonzaki Park, known for having the first western-style lighthouse in Japan; and Mikasa Park, home to the historical battleship Mikasa, the oldest steel battleship still in existence. In addition to these important historical locations, there are also many culturally significant locations which we are considering for new venues for SENSE ISLAND／LAND, such as streets lined with nostalgic Showa-era shops, and the Yokosuka Museum of Art, designed by 2024 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate Riken Yamamoto
We welcome you to SENSE ISLAND／LAND to experience and enjoy a new side of Yokosuka through art, different from the everyday.
Venue: Sarushima and various locations throughout Yokosuka (Kanagawa Prefecture)
