About the Artist
Aki Onda is an artist, composer, and curator. His musical and visual works are often catalyzed by and structured around memories—personal, collective, historical—such as his widely-known project "Cassette Memories", drawn from three decades of field recordings (or, as Onda refers to them, ‘sound diaries’). Crossing genres, he has been active internationally in the fields of art, film, music, and performance. His artistic collaborators include Michael Snow, Ken Jacobs, Paul Clipson, Ho Tzu Nyen, Raha Raissnia, Loren Connors, Alan Licht, 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, Seoul Mediacity Biennale, among other institutions. After residing in New York for many years, he currently lives and works in Mito, Japan.
