The Earth Is Always Blue — Catalogue presentation

The exhibition catalogue for The Earth Is Always Blue collects images, critical essays and an interview with Kazumasa Mizokami. Curated by Loredana Parmesani and published by Allemandi (78 pages), the volume guides readers through sculptures and installations that renew Japanese ceramic traditions with international influences and a contemporary sensibility.

During the presentation, the artist and curator will discuss the works and the exhibition's underlying themes, then lead the audience on a guided tour of the installation in the evocative Sala delle Colonne at Castello di Novara.
