The fifth edition of Aichi Triennale is led by the Artistic Director Kataoka Mami (Director, Mori Art Museum / President, CIMAM), and goes on till October 10, 2022. The title as well as its theme STILL ALIVE was inspired by the artwork series I Am Still Alive by the Aichi-born conceptual artist On Kawara. Total of 100 artists/groups hail from 32 countries/regions spread across the five continents: Asia Pacific (Japan 38, South East Asia 8, Oceania 8, West Asia 1), Europe (17), North America (15), South America (8), and Africa (4). More than half of the overseas artists exhibited their works for the first time in Japan. In the contemporary art section, 49 artists/groups including Anne Imhof, Theaster Gates and Delcy Morelos, were commissioned to create new works for the Aichi Triennale 2022. While 55 artists are based outside of Japan, 27 artists/groups managed to come to Aichi to create their works despite the strict Japanese border control due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
