Many small island destinations owe their spatial character to their entanglements with stakeholders involved in the arts. Space is the dynamic outcome of complex relational processes, which makes it impossible to identify a straightforward development path — including when it comes to the arts and tourism. Using assemblage thinking, we scrutinize the different translocal processes influencing art-based tourism activities on Bornholm, Denmark and Naoshima, Japan. On these islands, artists, investors, residents, destination managers, creative individuals, and government officials are all involved in networks and negotiations that form complex translocal assemblages of art and tourism. The craft-artists of Bornholm took advantage of regional development policies aimed at fostering rural tourism development, and subsequently established a destination known for quality professional craft-art. On Naoshima, top-down corporate investments in large-scale art developments have clashed with local stakes in rural revitalization. These top-down projects have attracted creative in-migrants who have further turned Naoshima into a hybrid space. While Bornholm’s entanglement with the arts stems from the possibilities generated by its spatial evolution, Naoshima’s involvement with the arts first led to reterritorialization and then creative enhancement. Both islands are, thus, distinct loci of translocal art trajectories.

艺术岛的形成：当代艺术与旅游跨地域组合的比较分析

许多小岛屿目的地的空间特征归功于与艺术相关利益相关者的纠葛。空间是复杂关系过程的动态结果，因此无法确定直接的发展路径——包括艺术和旅游方面。使用组合思维，我们审视了影响丹麦博恩霍尔姆和日本直岛以艺术为基础的旅游活动的不同跨地域过程。在这些岛屿上，艺术家、投资者、居民、目的地管理者、创意人士和政府官员都参与了网络和谈判，形成了复杂的跨地方艺术和旅游组合。博恩霍尔姆的手工艺者利用旨在促进乡村旅游发展的区域发展政策，并随后建立了一个以优质专业工艺艺术而闻名的目的地。在直岛，自上而下的企业对大型艺术开发的投资与当地在乡村振兴中的利益发生了冲突。这些自上而下的项目吸引了富有创造力的移民，他们进一步将直岛变成了一个混合空间。虽然博恩霍尔姆与艺术的纠葛源于其空间演变所产生的可能性，但直岛对艺术的参与首先导致了重新领土化，然后是创造性的增强。因此，这两个岛屿都是跨地方艺术轨迹的不同地点。这些自上而下的项目吸引了富有创造力的移民，他们进一步将直岛变成了一个混合空间。虽然博恩霍尔姆与艺术的纠葛源于其空间演变所产生的可能性，但直岛对艺术的参与首先导致了重新领土化，然后是创造性的增强。因此，这两个岛屿都是跨地方艺术轨迹的不同地点。这些自上而下的项目吸引了富有创造力的移民，他们进一步将直岛变成了一个混合空间。虽然博恩霍尔姆与艺术的纠葛源于其空间演变所产生的可能性，但直岛对艺术的参与首先导致了重新领土化，然后是创造性的增强。因此，这两个岛屿都是跨地方艺术轨迹的不同地点。
