Kiran Subbaiah was born in 1971 in Sidapur, Kamataka. He studied at Kala Bhavan, Santiniketan and the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University, Baroda. In 1997, he received a scholarship from the INLAKS Foundation to study at the Royal College of Art, London. Trained as a sculptor, over the years he has worked with several other mediums. He is firm in the belief that art does not have to serve any purpose. His irreverence is apparent in the objects, sculptural assemblages and installations he creates, loaded with humor, irony or enigma or rejoicing in their obvious and self-contained contradictions. It is also evident in his experimental videos and recent internet projects, some of which are collected under the name Pseudo Virus Archive. He is presently a participant in the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Kiran Subbaiah lives and works in Bangalore and Amsterdam.
