Aichi Triennale

OLTA is a collective of five artists engaged in a broad variety of activities including painting, installation, video, performance, and theater, in a practice developed through negotiating the systems of visual arts/performing arts and conducting sociological/ethnographic fieldwork. Members are Inoue Toru, Saito Takafumi, Hasegawa Yoshiro, Meguninja, and Jang-Chi. Contextualized by sets representing late modern Japan, their stage performances use physical expression to question the repetitive structure of alienation and oppression in history. Shaking the foundations of various communities reveals the ways of thinking, customs, language, and ways of life that underlie them.
