Artist bio
Tisna rose from the 1980s generation of contemporary Indonesian and Bandung artists with their wave of experimentation, but with his own attitude, style, and language. Starting from drawings and etchings in graphic arts, Tisna’s depictions constantly discover new spaces with the passage of time-both in crossing the world of roles and theatrical characterizations; becoming a form that grows in the environment and society; and by never leaving the social-actual background. It frames the small and large moral paradoxes all around us.
Presented by CAT and Project 11 Foundation in partnership with Dark Mofo. Supported by Nayri Niara.
