We have finally received all the film clips from Art Basel and am happy to share them with you here:

‘Inner Worlds’ is a new series mapping creatives’ psyches through the places where they work. Sometimes refuge, sometimes battleground, these rooms, studios, and spaces enable reflection, experimentation – and ultimately art-making. In the inaugural episode, Mai Miyake welcomes us into her new studio and home in Japan’s Shiga Prefecture. Not far from Kyoto, Shiga is surrounded by mountains and rests on the shores of the country’s largest body of freshwater, Lake Biwa. ‘It’s very comforting for me to see vast water,’ she says.

Mai Miyake is represented by Ora-Ora (Hong Kong).

The “LINK OF LIFE” Exhibition is a grand art experiment that connects the world of science, technology, engineering, and art with the world of design. The first exhibition, held last year, attracted much attention from both the general public and companies from various industries. This year will be the second year of the exhibition.

Under the guidance of LINK OF LIFE creative director Dai Fujiwara, project participants will dig deep into the theme and explore concepts and approaches, holding discussions with scientists, researchers, designers, artists, companies, and organizations to mutually inspire and establish “links” that will bring forth new ways of thinking and create new value. The resulting artworks will be unveiled in the exhibit. I am excited to be a part of this year’s exhibition.

"Kankou"(sightseeing) literally means "to show/see the light": in other words, "to show/see local excellence." On the Oita Sightseeing Wall, excellent objects and artworks from Oita appear as displayed through the eyes of a contemporary artist. Mai Miyake, a contemporary artist active both domestically and internationally, worked on the project "Cuckoo-Clock for the World". The project aims to call back doves (symbols of peace) to the world by creating peace (safety) for even the smallest units of society, such as one’s family, company, and hometown. Due to this project, the west area of OPAM’s atrium will be filled with “the light of Oita."
