Artist and Composer
Japanese (Mito and New York)
Aki Onda is an artist, composer, and curator currently based in Mito, Japan, after living in New York for two decades. Their works are often catalyzed by and structured around memories—personal, collective, historical—such as his widely-known project, Cassette Memories (2004–ongoing), drawn from three decades of field recordings. Crossing genres, Onda has been active internationally in art, film, music and performance, and their artistic collaborators include Michael Snow, Ken Jacobs, Raha Raissnia, Paul Clipson, Ho Tzu Nyen, Loren Connors, David Toop and Akio Suzuki. Onda have presented their work at The Kitchen, MoMA, MoMA P.S.1, Blank Forms, REDCAT, Toronto Biennual of Art, documenta 14, Louvre Museum, Pompidou Center, Palais de Tokyo, Fondation Cartier, Argos, Bozar, ICA London, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Nam June Paik Art Center and many others.
