Uji Handoko Eko Saputro a.k.a Hahan (b. 1983, Kebumen) is a visual artist who lives and works in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. His practice is based on observations and critique regarding the socio-political issues. His works are influenced by youth culture and comics, and spans from painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, installation, and performative work. One of the most intriguing topic explorations for him is about the mechanism of the art market, where power relation and inter-entity interests inside it create certain tensions that affect the art practice, commodification of art, and the position of artists in today's art scene.
Hahan is the founding members of Ace House Collective, an artist collective founded in Yogyakar ta in 2011 that works with communities and various networks in running a space as a youth art and culture laboratory. This includes generating projects that uses imitation as a methodology to represent an art form by using various interpretations of everyday infrastructure surrounding institutions/trade body that are often encountered by Indonesian people.
