O
Painter. Born 1956 in Tokyo. Prefers to draw with pencil and crayon on paper. He is not good at oil on canvas. However, the interesting thing about painting is that you can see a lot of things when you look at a painting, regardless of whether you like it or not, so he paints both. If he were to judge only by good or bad paintings, he would have stopped being a painter long ago.
Artist. Born 1981 in Gunma. Lives and works in Akita. Recent major exhibitions include "Aichi Triennale 2022" (Tokoname, Aichi, 2022), "Yamagata Biennale 2022" (Bunshokan, Yamagata, 2022), "Setouchi Triennale 2022" (Tadotsu, Kagawa, 2022), "VOCA 2021" (Ueno Royal Museum, Tokyo, 2021) and others.

Odekrom stems out of a curious chat and a fascination to work with another. Clare Ghigo (mezzo soprano) and Joseph Calleja (visual artist) started this chat informally in the early months of 2019, when Clare approached Joseph with an interesting proposal to start a collaboration towards the anniversary of the Theresienstadt Ghetto. In return Joseph suggested to Clare to start exploring each other’s vocabulary by making a work for a project initiated by Lateral Lab called Ways of Thinking for the Tokyo Olympiad 2020. During this initial phase they developed an audio visual approach to their collaborations. Their first two collaborative pieces have attracted support from Lateral Lab, Creative Scotland, British Council, and Arts Council Malta.
Clare Ghigo is an accomplished mezzo-soprano and opera director, known for her exceptional talent and versatility in both classical and contemporary works. Beyond her operatic performances, Clare’s artistry extends to directing projects, including notable works such as Ullmann’s Der Kaiser von Atlantis, Gawhar Misjub, a collection of forgotten Maltese works, and her recent assistance to Caroline Staunton on Wagner’s Walküre.
Joseph Calleja is a visual artist who relishes the process of negotiation and interdependence between the essential and the liminal in art practice. His collaborations evidence a skilled multidisciplinary approach to his engagements. His work has been the subject of numerous awards and recognition by bodies such as Saatchi, Channel4, RA, RSA, ACM and artists such as Katie Paterson and Tacita Dean.
