Iwan Wijono

Iwan Wijono is an artist and activist born in Central Java, Indonesia. While studying international law in Jogjakarta, Wijono became active in the pro-democracy movement against the Suharto regime. He eventually enrolled in the ISI (Indonesian Art Institute), where he began looking for a practical form of art that would express his political ideals. His practice has spread from performance art activities in public to local and international art events, including: ASIATOPIA Performance Art Festival (Thailand, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2007), NIPAF / Nippon International Performance Art Festival (Japan, 1999, 2004, 2010), Novena Muestra Internacional de Performance (Mexico, 2000), Havana Biennale (Cuba, 2001), 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival (Canada, 2002), RIAP / Recountre Internacional Arte de Performance (Canada, 2004), In The Context Of Art–The Differences, (Poland, 2006), FOI / Future Of Imagination (Singapore, 2003), and PAN ASIA ’10 (Korea, 2010).
