How to Navigate miyaando.com for Artworks, Exhibitions, and Contact Info

miyaando.com is the official site of Miya Ando, a Japanese and American artist whose work examines the coexistence of Eastern and Western cultures through natural phenomena. The site is organized as a single navigation menu that links to every major section: Artworks, Exhibitions, In Dialogue, Bibliography, Press & Reviews, Talks & Lectures, Text, About (with Statement, Bio, and CV), Projects, and Contact. If you want artwork images, go to Artworks or Projects; for show listings, go to Exhibitions; for inquiries, go to Contact.

Main navigation at a glance

Finding artworks and projects

Use Artworks as the primary entry point for the work itself. Use Projects when you are looking for a named body of work rather than a general overview — the site lists Rain Dictionary: The MIT Press and Saint Laurent x Miya Ando under this heading. If you already know the title of a project, checking Projects first is faster than browsing Artworks.

Finding exhibitions

Exhibitions is the dedicated section for show information. Note that the site's navigation does not separate current from past exhibitions at the menu level, so open the section and scan the listings rather than expecting a filtered view.

Research, press, and writing

Four sections serve research needs, and they are not interchangeable:

• Bibliography — published references and citations
• Press & Reviews — coverage written about the artist
• Talks & Lectures — spoken appearances
• Text — written material

If you are citing the artist in academic work, start with Bibliography and CV; if you want critical reception, start with Press & Reviews.

Background on the artist

The About menu expands into three sub-pages:

• Statement — the artist's own framing of the work
• Bio — narrative biography
• CV — the structured record of exhibitions, collections, and awards

For a quick orientation, read Statement first; for verifiable credentials, use CV.

Contact

Contact is the only section intended for reaching out. The site does not publish a separate inquiry form or departmental routing in its navigation, so use this page for all purposes — press, exhibition, or sales questions.

A concrete example

Suppose you want to confirm the publication details of Water of the Sky: A Dictionary of 2,000 Japanese Rain Words. The fastest path is Projects → Rain Dictionary: The MIT Press, which carries the book's description: 2,000 Japanese rain words with English interpretations and 100 indigo drawings, published by The MIT Press, hardcover, 280 pages, 6 x 8 inches, with a publication date of November 4, 2025 and a second printing available April 2026. The same page notes its awards, including the 2026 Eric Hoffer Book Award in the Art category and a 2025 Foreword INDIES Award in Art (Adult Nonfiction).

Common snags

• Projects vs. Artworks. Named publications and brand collaborations live under Projects, not Artworks. Checking the wrong one is the most likely reason you can't find something.
• No search or filter visible in the navigation. With a flat menu, you navigate by section rather than by query, so plan which section matches your need before clicking.
• Sub-pages hide under About. Statement, Bio, and CV are not top-level items; look for them inside About.
