Haig Aivazian was born in 1980 in Beirut, Lebanon, where he lives as an artist. Working across a wide range of media, he delves into the ways in which ideologies embed, affect, and move people, objects, and architecture. Often departing from known events, and weaving in lesser-known narratives, he has explored apparatuses of control and sovereignty at work in sports, finance, museums, and music. His work has been shown internationally in museums, biennials, and festivals. He also works as a curator and was Associate Curator of the Sharjah Biennial (2011). He has written for Afterall and Manifesta Journal, Bidoun, and Makhzin, and has taught at the American University of Beirut and the Ashkal Alwan HomeWorks Program.
