A total of 1,800 guests came to see the special preview held the day before. Guests included the actress Kikuchi Rinko, as well as the special supporters of Yokohama Triennale 2014, Tsuruta Mayu, Mogi Kenichiro, and Suzuki Yoshio.

Today, as the exhibition opened to the public, Michael Landy, the artist who is exhibiting his artwork Art Bin at the Grand Gallery at the entrance of Yokohama Museum of Art threw in his own failed work into the bin for creative failure. Morimura Yasumasa, the artistic director of Yokohama Triennale 2014, Elias Hansen, one of the participating artists, and prominent Japanese artists, Matsui Fuyuko, Hibino Katsuhiko, Nakamura Kengo, and Tsubaki Noboru also discarded their artworks today. In the afternoon, a series of artist talk by Wim Delvoye, Simon Starling and Karmelo Bermejo were held.

Yokohama Triennale will be open for 89 days telling the story of those things that have been forgotten, unfolding into two introductions and eleven chapters.
