Painter and dancer, Junko Wada studied at the Musashino Art University in Tokyo, where she specialized in large scale abstract painting. Since 1985, she has been performing – often in collaboration with various sound artists – in many museums, galleries, and public sites, including the Adelaide Festival, Ruhrtriennale Essen, ZKM Karlsuhe, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Staatsoper, and Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, as well many others. Her work fuses the two disciplines – painting and dance – attributing them to the same source, one of abstraction with a faint relation to traditional Japanese art
