Setouchi Triennale 2025: Power Base to Open as an Official Venue in the Uno Port Area
2025.07.31
PowerX’s headquarter factory “Power Base” in Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture will be open to the public from August 1 to 31 as an official Uno Port Area venue for the Setouchi Triennale 2025 summer session. Staged every three years, the Triennale showcases contemporary art across 17 islands and coastal sites in the Seto Inland Sea.
During the spring session in May, over 2,400 people visited Power Base. In addition to the ongoing art installation, "Model of Something," by artist Teppei Kaneuji, guided factory tours will be available starting this summer session.
As a proud festival partner, PowerX remains committed to energising and enriching the Setouchi region.
What’s On
•Art Installation
Model of Something by Teppei Kaneuji is a layered installation made from transparent materials, hand-drawn with freeform lines, creating a complex and three-dimensional visual experience.
