Andrius Arutiunian
Andrius Arutiunian is an Armenian-Lithuanian artist and composer working with hybrid forms of listening, vernacular knowledges, and contemporary cosmologies. His installations, films, and performances experiment with temporality, resonance, and alternate methods for world-ordering — challenging, through playful and hypnotic forms, the very concepts of musical and political attunement. In 2022 he represented Armenia at the 59th Venice Biennale with the solo exhibition Gharīb; further solo shows include Fondation d’entreprise Hermès Tokyo and Kunstmuseum Magdeburg.
His work has been presented at major biennials including Shanghai, Gwangju, Lyon, Performa NYC, and the Baltic Triennial, and at institutions such as the Centre Pompidou, Palais de Tokyo, and M HKA Antwerp. In 2024 he was shortlisted for the Future Generation Art Prize and was a DAAD artist-in-residence fellow in 2023. His works are held in the collections of the Centre Pompidou and KADIST.
