“Chichu Art Museum, established in 2004, is itself a quintessential site-specific work of art. The museum invites us to rethink our relationship with nature, a central theme in the ideological landscape of Naoshima. Located on the south side of Naoshima, the Tadao Ando-designed facility has a permanent collection of works, many commissioned for the museum over the past two decades, and includes such artists as Claude Monet, Walter de Maria, and James Turrell.”
The photos were part of the book Insular Insight.
