The Kobe Biennale, according to its organisers, ‘will serve to spark an interactive communication of kira (onomatopoetic expression for 'sparkle'), where one discovery will inspire others, eventually creating a new paradigm in Kobe, its people and arts’. Curator: Naoshi Okura, Project Director and Curator, Void 289, Kobe Biennale 2011. Other participating artists include Brent Hallard, Ivar Smedstadt, Kristofer Henriksson, Mari Kubota, Melissa Matsuki Lillie and Tracie Washington-Stefansson."
