Agung Kurniawan is a multidisciplinary artist working with drawings, installations, and in more recent years, performance art and videography. Created in the 1990s, works from Souvenirs From The Third World series reflect his observations on the commercial exploitation of past political histories, as works which dealt with political issues were increasingly in demand. Resembling a commodity, the artwork features colourfully painted characters displayed on a minimalistic white stand. Agung Kurniawan studied graphic art at the Institut Seni Indonesia. His works are found in the collection of museums such as Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Van Abbe Museum (Eindhoven, Netherlands), Singapore Art Museum, as well as in private collections. Other works include his performance in Netherlands 'Remember Day Parade And After', during the so-called transHISTORY (Arnhem June 2016) and his video art during the Europalia Festival 2017 (Paleis voor Schone Kunsten / BOZAR / Centre for Fine Art Brussels, Belgium).
