Andrius Arutiunianas

Andrius Arutiunian (b. 1991, Vilnius, Lithuania) is an Armenian-Lithuanian artist and composer working with hybrid forms of listening, vernacular knowledges and contemporary cosmologies. His research often experiments with temporality, resonance and alternate methods for worldordering. Through playful investigation of hypnotic and enigmatic forms, Arutiunian’s installations, films and performances challenge the concepts of musical and political attunement.

In 2022 Arutiunian participated in the 59th Venice Art Biennale representing Armenia with a solo show entitled Gharīb. Other biennial shows include the 14th Shanghai Biennale, the 15th Gwangju Biennale, the 17th Lyon Biennale, the 9th Asian Art Biennale, and the 15th Baltic Triennial.

Selected shows include Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Centre Pompidou (Paris), M HKA (Antwerp), Stroom (The Hague), Kadist (Paris), Pinchuk Art Centre (Kyiv), Survival Kit 13 (Riga), FACT (Liverpool), silent green & CTM (Berlin), and Contemporary Art Centre (Vilnius).

In 2024 Arutiunian was selected for the Future Generation Art Prize shortlist. He was DAAD artist-in-residence fellow in 2023. His works are in various collections including Centre Pompidou and KADIST.
