The Artists in Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial 2009 is the third in a series of special exhibitions featuring new artists. The art festival ends shortly. Please stop by on this occasion. Held every three years, The Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial (ETAT) takes place in an area that spans Niigata Prefecture, from Tokamachi City to Tsunan-Cho in Echigo-Tsumari.
Started 10 years ago as a project to revitalize a region adversely affected by aging and depopulation, ETAT sought to highlight the region’s wide variety of cultural and environment assets. This year’s Triennial will feature 350 works installed throughout the region.
Art Front Graphic’s exhibit, “Not Echigo-Tsumari,” contains work from new artists as well as permanent installations created by artists from the first two ETAT exhibits.

Yukihisa Isobe
Isobe started his career making prints in 1950' and created repetitiously emblems using materials such as plaster mixed with marble, emboss, and water color drawings and prints. After moving to New York in 1965, he was taken by environmental and ecological interest studying at University. At that time, he tried to integrate graphics and colors used in these scientific field with expression in the art, introducing plan and maps as a repetition into his works. He was closely related to Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale from the beginning, where he installed a number of yellow poles to indicate the original position of Shinano River (2000) or to visualize the mad slide (2015). Art Front Gallery is in charge of the works of Yukihisa Isobe except for the works already in the collection.
