Timoteus Anggawan Kusno

T.A. Kusno is an artist who composes and expands his works in various mediums, including installations, filmmaking and institutional interventions. He renders narratives stretching in the liminality of fiction, history, imagination, and memory. Kusno draws questions on the coloniality of power and what remains left unseen. He often uses the (meta)fictional approach to reflect the medium’s role in narratology. He reflexively and critically examines the subtle signification of editing and production structure. By this method, he questions “history-making” and its relation to power, ideology, and “ignorance.” He has been commissioned and shown his work internationally in several cultural institutions and biennales, including the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, the Netherlands; the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) Seoul, South Korea; Mumbai City Museum, India; the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) Taipei Taiwan; Center for Fine Art Brussels, Belgium; Biennale Jogja XIV Equator #4: Indonesia-Brazil, 13th Gwangju Biennale, South Korea, and Videonale 19, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Germany, among others. In 2021, Kusno was honored with the Video Production Award from the Han Nefkens Foundation – Loop Barcelona, collaborating with the Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona
