Anne Graham at Water and Land - Niigata Art Festival 2012
14 July 2012 - 24 December 2012
The 2012 Water and Land – Niigata Art Festival will be held from 14 July to 24 December 2012 at the former Bandaijima Fish Market near the mouth of the Shinano River and the Port of Niigata. The theme of this second triennial festival is ‘turning points’. Approximately 65 individuals and groups of artists will be exhibiting their works and interactive projects. Locals will also hold a range of events to showcase Niigata attractions including performances, art, food, hospitality and walking tours.
This time, Australian artist Anne Graham will be re-exhibiting her work Shinohara’s House from the 2009 Water and Land – Niigata Art Festival. This work utilises a house that was relocated from an abandoned village and is an installation enabling visitors to experience the history and character of the area, reviving the memories of people who lived there.
