The Tokyo-based Jang-Chi directs and conceives performances. He founded the artist group OLTA in 2009. He has developed humorous and provocative works through negotiating the systems of visual/performing arts and sociological/folklore fieldwork. With a focus on the collective acts that visible in communities and the communication that unfolds there, he explores questions about the creative act and, by extension, primordial human desire, sensation, and aspiration. His work reconfigures and restages past voices, records, folk tales, work songs, movements, incidents, and so on, dealing with urban planning during modernization, industrial structures, society and history that cannot be applied uniformly across race and gender, and repeated structures. OLTA have presented their work at various venues and events, including YPAM Direction (Yokohama, 2021/2022/2023), ROHM Theatre Kyoto (Kyoto, 2020/2024), Lilith Performance Studio (Sweden, 2015), and Seoul Marginal Theatre Festival (South Korea, 2014). Their notable works were exhibited nationwide, including at the Aomori Museum of Art (2019), Busan Biennale (2016), and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa (2014). Since 2022, he is a Fellow of the Saison Foundation (Tokyo / JP).

Meguninja was born in Chiba Prefecture in 1988. She became active as a member
of OLTA, an artistic group that was organized in 2009, and handled tasks including
scriptwriting, videos, performance, design, and planning. Staring at everyday life
with critical eyes, she has developed drawings based on childhood play and
memories, and is mounting her own little rebellion against the world. OLTA’s The
Japanese Ideology, for which she was the playwright, was nominated to be one of
the finalists in the 68th Kishida Kunio Drama Award.
Her own solo exhibitions include ‘Capitalism’ (CAPSULE, Tokyo, 2024) and projects such as ‘Art Site Kozushima 2024: Mountain, Move, Sea, Wander’ (Tokyo, 2024), ‘Safari Firing’ (Kozushima, Tokyo, 2022) and ‘campfiring’ (Tokyo, 2020).
