Conceived as a way of revitalizing a depopulated region, the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale is not only one of the world\u2019s largest art festivals, it is a powerful force for social change. In collaboration with the local community, the bucolic landscape is turned into a multi-media exhibit space, drawing in artists and admirers from around the world. Come hear from participating artists Marina Abramovi\u0107, Cai Guo-Qiang, and Ilya &amp; Emilia Kabakov, as well as creator and General Director Fram Kitagawa. Asian art specialist Midori Yamamura joins the discussion, and Japan Society Gallery Director Yukie Kamiya moderates. Co-organized by Midori Yamamura.<\/p>\n<p>For tickets and information visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.japansociety.org\/event\/country-of-dreams-art-festival-as-social-change\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.japansociety.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, April 27\u00a0 06:30pm Japan Society 333 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63099"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63099\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63100,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63099\/revisions\/63100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
