Beirut-based artist Haig Aivazian works in a range of media, including performance, video, sculpture, and installation to unpack the of power and the hidden ideological flows within histories such as music, sports, street lighting, and predictive policing. Based on extensive research, his practice is at once exactingly precise and at the same time is an avalanche of sensory information. In conversation with writer Noah Simblist, Aivazian dissects a selection of his works that revolve around music and its relationship to nationalism and colonialism.
