THE PLACE TO BE
COLOR FIELD: Swiss artist Felice Varini highlights the shrinking demographics of this remote community.
You can’t miss the vast yellow circles, painted across roads, walls and rooftops, in this tiny hamlet in rural Japan. They radiate outward, as if pinpointing a target—but a target for whom? For art lovers, as it turns out. Rather than the predictable white walls of a city gallery, this contemporary art festival, opening June 4, is using a remote corner of Nagano prefecture as its backdrop.
