]]> Perspective of desert island https://olta.jp/en/works/%e3%83%bcperspectiveofdesertisland%e3%83%bc2016/ Fri, 23 Sep 2016 06:27:28 +0000 http://thisis.website/olta/?post_type=works&p=527 Styrofoam, back light film, LED lighting, acrylic board, cage, bondage, etc.
“Port island” is an uninhabited island made by dredge soil located in the middle of the Port of Nagoya. Inspired from a discovery of a skeltonized bird, keywords of the work are “uninhabited island” and “bones”.The venue was formerly on arthopedic clinic, which strangely links to OLTA’s background that have been exhibiting works related to bodies.
In this work, a room in which a person resides was interpreted as an inhabited island, and details of the room were collected as photographs. Various objects of the room were abstracted and converted via various transformation methods, such as the 3D printer or paper-craft software, which then became returned inside the room. The room also has radiographs scattered around, taken by finding rugged surfaces of the orthopedic clinic and turning the area into a light box. Viewers will be swaying back and forth between somebody’s room and elsewhere, creating a platform of recreation and reunion.

Collaboration with Leif Holmstrand
The huge cradle, which is a pair of two people, has a shape in which the two upper bodies are united. In the cradle, bones made of sponges and ropes, imitations of the bones of a baby carriage, baby carriages, and a combination of them are added, and they are hardened with gypsum and clay. As the performance progresses, the structure of the cradle repeatedly transforms collapse and reconstruction.Based on fake bones that are made as dog food and toys, they are made from various materials such as plaster and sponge, and reproduced. FAKE BONES is transported, consumed, exchanged and produced as a substitute for labor and money.Share, bond and crawl on the same diapers as each other. It carries food, debris, firewood etc. falling on the floor and creates a new circulation in the hall.

Performance : FAKE BONES
Date: Sep 17th – 26th, 2015
Duration: 2h
Place: Lilith Performance Studio, Bragegatan 15, Malmo, SWEDEN
Review of FAKE BONES in Sydsvenskan (in Swedish)
www.sydsvenskan.se/kultur–nojen/scenkonst/scenrecensioner/utflippat-verk-om-sokandet-efter-ben/
In FAKE BONES, magic rituals around eating, physicality, birth and death are faked.
Here ritual cooking, cooking shows, oracle activities and dissolution of both time and personality are faked in an ongoing process. Plastic bones, rawhide bones for dogs and boned strollers are present.
For several weeks, they will on site create an universe with common interests related to biology, shamanism, radioactive mutations, fantasies of the body, eating, dissolve the ego boundaries, bio-politics and an open eye for beauty and reproduction of weirdness, where Holmstrand’s imagery melts together with OLTA’s.
The visitors are invited to their common organism in which Leif carefully disassembles several prams and cook them, fry, boil, bake them with more possible food. The pram food is served to the audience and to OLTA, that builds and improvises along with Holmstrand in a long fragmented collage like cycle where sound, voice and poetry becomes a central element.
In his art, Leif Holmstrand (born in 1972, lives and works in Malm?) combines traditional textile art with a fascination for horror movies and burlesque popular culture. In crochet and knitting, Holmstrand creates objects, covers and clothing impossible to wear. He coats and wraps objects and bodies in rope, yarn and cord. His works are characterized by an abnormal and paranoid corporality with a dark relation to sexuality and the surrounding world. The themes in his works are similar irrespective of mode of expression: a dreamlike dissolution of gender, where he tries to find and stretch the cultural and biological boundaries of the body. 
In OLTA’s work the man’s relationship to nature, the primary conditions of existence and the Japanese culture and pop culture are recurring starting points. 
OLTA consists of seven artists born in the 80s, which all lives and works in Tokyo.
The Art Collective was formed in 2009 and since then the group have made a series of solo exhibitions and group exhibitions in Japan.

]]> Landscape with an Eye see a Landscape https://olta.jp/en/works/eye%e3%83%bc2015-2/ Fri, 20 Feb 2015 12:34:58 +0000 http://thisis.website/olta/?post_type=works&p=898 “Landscape with an Eye see a Landscape”  is the motif of the the  “Landscape with an Eye” by Aimitsu who is Japanese  painter. Since 1935, he began to draw a series of lions, carrying his child back to Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. A work drawn in a form that seems to be a lion is “Landscape with Eye” and was exhibited in 1938 at the “8th Independent Art Exhibition” Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. We see the landscape in paintings, but in this painting the landscape (work) is watching us (the audience). Through the tale of a work called “Landscape with Eye”, we launch the scene we are watching now.

Les anneaux d’un serpent sont encore plus compliqués que les trous d’une taupinière.
────“L’Autre Journal”n°l, mai 1990, Gilles Deleuze
 
Represent a state of thought suspension and dysfunction in urban life as a brain-dead city.
 
Foundation of radio wave
Water is poured into the skull from the radio tower modeled on Sky Tree, and the heart squeals the sound, representing the city’s body. The skull and heart become aluminum sculptures.
 
Gramophone of lung
Sounds of traffic lights, warning sounds and environmental sounds that regulate the city. The form that links the lung tube to the horn of the gramophone is an image that is closely related to the body and media and has been extended to inorganic.
 
Zero yen note
The design is based on the absence of urban dysfunction. The signs of fog out, traffic lights that do not copy the humanoid between the brains, emergency buttons that are not pushed, and overturned war abandonment. “Zero yen note” is the hommageof the work ” The great Japanese zero yen note” by Genpei Akasegawa.
