Okayama Orient Museum Pre-Entrance
9-31 Tenjin-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama City

The Okayama Art Summit is an international contemporary art exhibition that focuses on conceptual art, held in Okayama City every three years. Curated by Philippe Parreno, Liam Gillick has been selected as one of this year's exhibiting artists.

The theme of this year’s summit is The Parks of Aomame, inspired by Aomame, the mysterious character from Haruki Murakami’s novel 1Q84. As Parreno describes in his statement, a curated group of thirty individuals and groups from twelve countries and regions, including artists, musicians, architects, designers, scientists, writers and thinkers, will use their unique methods of expression to create new forms, transforming Okayama’s public spaces into places where reality and imagination naturally merge.

Ministry: Reverend Joyce McDonald is the first museum exhibition devoted to the artist’s work, bringing together her early sculptures in air-dry clay and found materials with recent glazed ceramics.
