Short Biography
Aliansyah Caniago (b. 1987 in Indonesia) lives and works in Bandung, Indonesia. He studied Painting at the Bandung Institute of Technology Faculty Art and Design. Through site-specific interventions, installations and durational performances, he is interested in working directly with communities and developing artworks that could blend-in with the society, entering conflicted areas creatively and trying to repair the damaged environment.
Questions of identity and environment, tradition and modernity have been at the core of his work. The notion of ‘landscape’ has played an important role in his practice and he engaged with it in different ways. In several performances, he explored our close bodily connection with the landscape, how we can blend in or stand out, how we become part of the environment or an extension of it.
Aliansyah has presented his works in various international festivals and exhibitions, including Jakarta Biennale: Soul, Gudang Sarinah, Indonesia (2017), 14th Lyon Biennale; Rendez-Vous, Institute d’Art Contemporain, France (2017), Monash University Museum of Art: Unsettlement, Australia (2018), Kunstencentrum STUK: Europalia - Monsoon Project, Belgium (2017), Bangkok Art and Culture Centre: Asiatopia, Thailand (2013-2016), Ulster University: Belfast International Performance Art Festival 15, Northern Ireland (2015), Davidson College, Neighbor Grass is Always Greener, United States (2017), Contemporary Art Tasmania: Composing Archipelagos, Australia (2021), Alongside his artistic practice, he is also one of the founder of an artist collective space in Bandung, Ruang Gerilya. This space provides a platform for experimental works, and has a focus on artists interested in process and research. Apart from exhibitions, Ruang Gerilya hosts also discussions, artist talks, and workshops.
In 2015, Aliansyah was awarded as the Winner of Bandung Contemporary Art Award, Bandung, Indonesia for the ongoing project in Situ Ciburuy lake in West Java, Indonesia. He is currently member of MoT+++ Artist Collective in Saigon, Vietnam.
