Fiona Tan | 80 Days
September 21, 2007 – January 6, 2008

Pinakothek der Moderne
Barer Straße 40
80333 Munich, Germany

“Fiona Tan | 80 Days” is an exhibition that casts light on the status of culture and tradition for people in our times, and against this backdrop focuses on the specific functions and social usages of photography and film. In her works the artist combines documentary archive material, photo-graphs from strangers, and her own film footage to form visual sequences that blur the borders between documentation and fiction. Fiona Tan visited three countries in three different continents to develop the works that share the title “Vox Populi”, whose three parts will be shown together for the first time ever in Munich. In Norway, Australia and Japan she collected amateur photos by unknown people, standardised them by using the same format and frames, and then pieced them together into a rhythmical structure on the wall. “Vox Populi” inquires into the relevance of historical and contemporary photography as a possibility for archiving the world. From this documentary material, which stores memories of private indivi-duals, Tan has developed a kind of collective photo album that tells of the history and culture of various countries. Cultural identity as a passively learned, uniform schema is replaced in Tan’s work by a productive, open practice that constantly allows new possibilities for identification. “Vox Populi“ is the attempt to transcend a monocultural vantage point and increasingly to eliminat e the distinction between own and other, indigenous and foreign..( more info )

Fetish

27 july – 30 August 2007

at Biasa Art Space, Bali

Indonesian modern art began exploring a wider field, crossing the boundaries of art disciplines, as the Indonesian New Art Movement made its entrance on the stage of Indonesian art in the late 1970s. At that time, approaches and forms of works similar to those we today call installation art and object art were already introduced to the art public in Indonesia. Installation art – three-dimensional works made by arranging various kinds of objects in spatial configurations – then saw its rapid development in the late 1980s through the early 1990s.

Exhibition “Gross National Happiness” Mirjam Buerer

Opening Exhibition “Gross National Happiness”

Mirjam Buerer

14 July – 6 August 2007

Regional plants, as opposite to modern uniform patented plants, have been researched and photographed by Mirjam Buerer during her many trips to Asia. The worldwide urbanization and the economic market principles suppress the world’s original ecological resources – resources we often sacrifice without giving it much thought. Mirjam Buerer uses this theme to build an installation in the garden of the Erasmus Huis, and by doing so draws attention to the importance of a genetic variation of plants for the preservation of biodiversity and the value of putting quality above quantity. In the Erasmus Huis the public will be able to see big screens constructed out of layers of painted, photographed and serigraphed landscapes….(more info)

Thermocline of Art. New Asian Waves

Exhibition: June 15th – October 21st, 2007
ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art

The Creative Time of ‘Thermocline’ ‘Thermocline’, the theme of the exhibition, means a layer in a large body of water where warm and cold currents meet to cause a sudden change of water temperature. As a metaphor, this natural phenomenon, that is, the collision between huge currents in the deep ocean symbolizes the encounter between West and non-West, Europe and Asia, and the world and Asia primarily and secondarily, the change of water temperature as the outcome of the physical collision represents a multi-layered system of meaning about the comprehensive change of history, culture, and topographical map, that is, the ‘change-conversion of reality’. As if shedding light on the ‘Thermocline’ phenomenon occurring in the depth of the ocean, the exhibition aims to explain the acculturation and collision between globalism and localism…( More Info )

Camouflage: Acts of War

Hamad Khalaf

14 – 30 June 2007 @ Cemara 6 Galeri, Jakarta

The exhibition “Camouflage : Acts of War” similarly touches on the issue of war. Part of it is erotic in a poetical way, but the underlying message is mainly political. The exhibition consists of military object on which are painted scenes from Greek mythology. The presentation is made in such as way as to look like a display of archeological items in a Museum. Khalaf’s works invites the observer to pay more attention and react to today’s global politics. He himself questions it through archeological camouflage…( More Info )

 

HARDIMAN RADJAB

8 June – 15 July 2007

at Cemeti Arthouse, Jogjakarta

Hardiman’s trunks are created or found. He chose this object and felt that the idea of these trunks was wide enough to encompass the concepts, ideas, and stories in simple form. Through the search of these old trunks, Hardiman develops of narration or meaning of the art of ‘having trunks’. The effort to express themes in Hardiman’s trunk-objects indicates a different tendency from the recent discourse of objects in contemporary arts. It is here, in my opinion, where the strength of Hardiman’s works lie…( More info )

Picturing Relations: Simryn Gill & Tino Djumini

11 May to 15 July 2007

at NUS Musem, Singapore

 

As a means of story telling, photography enables the framing of selective views of reality and also reveals how a ‘true’ picture of reality may be negotiated. The works of Simryn Gill and Tino Djumini stimulate us to rethink our concepts spaces and domesticity in relation to various aspects such as socio-cultural identities, history and memory. Both artists’ practices have been shaped through the experiences of migration and diaspora. Gill presents an ‘objective survey’ of human conditions of Malaysians through the construct of the living rooms of 258 homes. Djumini’s portraits of ‘ordinary’ Indonesian families from a range of social classes signify a sense of shelter and institution…( more info )

Anti-Aging
15 Cemeti Artists at Gaya Art Space
Opening: Saturday, June 2nd, 2007, at 7 PM
Continues until July 2nd, 2007
Kafka wrote that the meaning of life is that it ends. This was not a pessimistic statement, at least not in my reading of it. It was an ontological insight. Death creates motion, a living towards an abyss that bounces meaning and structure back into any individual life. Life requires death because permanence is sterile. In a very real sense, death creates time. And time, for us four-dimensional humans, is aging. To cheat time is to cheat death, but cheating time is tricky. It can only be done in moments, in a language that is at the other end of the spectrum from the scientific manipulations that extend life. Art has the power to create these moments of presence, bubbles of temporary permanence without sterility. Art in both senses of the word: art as transcendent creating, and art in its original meaning of artifice, of lie, of the cheat. The best of art is the moment of ¡§happening.¡¨ This happening can happen at any moment in the existence of the work. It can stay in idea form and never materialize, or the artist can be very generous with his energy and can make manifest something of his idea. The person looking at the work for the first time can have a moment; when he remembers it he can have a moment; it can be sitting above his couch or crouched in a memory that pops out sometimes. A work of art always has a life of its own if it is indeed truly a work of art. It can be something like the life of a person. A life within a life that expands time, for a moment of anti-aging. …( More Info )

These five artists from West Sumatra and graduates of Indonesian Art Institute or ISI (Institut Seni Indonesia) in Yogyakarta have differentiated themselves from a predominantly figurative-based and sociopolitically driven Indonesian art context, or what is commonly known as “Jogja surreal”, each working in a distinctive visual symbolic language, using still life and landscape forms. The exhibition is curated by Enin Supriyanto. This will also be the first time the group exhibits together outside of Indonesia…( more info )

A city is always an interesting issue. It is always there to provide us eternal archives for the future. At the same time, we know that every city creates new ways to make their cities look more modern and beautiful. I think Haekal is one of a million people tries to use the idea of city to discuss Jogja as a special city, from its historical tradition until its now development. Visually, Haekal’s artworks are not sufficiently detail to cover all images of Jogja. But they do record statements as the current visual images of Jogja. Some sounds personal and poetic as stated at “Do not make love”, “Learn to grow up” or “Do I look interested? Fuck”. It is like Jogja already made its confirmation as a short message media..( more info )

PRESS RELEASE from Cemeti Art House

Tales without Narration

TITARUBI

8 May – 3 June 2007

The imbalance in the world economy which is becoming increasing unstable is a long-term result of the transformation of political colonization into industrial colonization. This colonization enters into various aspects of life, beginning from the materials of basic needs, such as rice, salt, and sugar, through recreational objects. Titarubi has been interested in this issue since 2005. She created an installation whose inspiration came from the lorry, a train car for carrying sugar cane, which was used by the sugar factories. The VOC, the Dutch trade company, developed the sugar industry as one of their major “money machines”. Through this sugar industry, the Indonesian society was introduced to the industrial system, caught up in its inner chaos, so that now it cannot escape from the all-encompassing complexities.In “Tales without Narration”, Titarubi refuses to use the metaphor of “victim”. She expresses the deep desire of “the oppressed” to rise and stand. Titarubi was born in Bandung in 1968. she studied at the Bandung Institute of Technology. She lives and works in Yogyakarta…More Info

Ceramic, Skin of Asias, the contemporary ceramic exhibition, at the 4th World Ceramic Biennale focusing on Asia, connotes the meaning of shaping new Asia with the earth, the skin of Asia. Ceramic, Skin of Asias will realize the cultural imagination of new Asia on the ground of distinct tradition and diverse ceramic cultures of Asia, the origin of ceramic art, through reflecting the narrow sense of Asian modernity that is piled with post-modernism and post-colonialism. Furthermore, the exhibition will create issues on how to perceive the ceramic culture of Asia in the future from the perspective of long history of civilization rather than from the western aspect, and this will also enable us to dream the imaginative future world of ceramic art…( more info )

Art Photography & Sculpture Exhibition “An Invitation to Peace”

by Bundhowi and Inge Rijanto

March 2, 2007 — Jakarta – Alila Jakarta is proud to present an art exhibition with a hopeful note by showcasing art photographs of Muhammad Bundhowi and sculptures of Inge Rijanto under the theme of “An Invitation to Peace”. During this exhibition, the lens man Bundhowi includes his very latest works which depict the earthquake hit city of Yogyakarta. Despite the despair that tends to bloom from such disaster, Bun prefers to look for the spiritual resilience and rebuilding of it all. Meanwhile, Inge Rijanto is full with capacity to develop her compassion in figure sculpture. Sense the urge to explore the body and find a great feeling of a gesture expression through her sculptures. This exhibition will be through on April 24 until May 11, 2007 at Space Lounge, on level 3, Alila Jakarta located in Jalan Pecenongan kav 7 – 17, Jakarta Pusat 10120. The inauguration night will be on April 24, 2007 at 7.30pm. Born in 1963, as a young man Bundhowi became a spontaneous and enthusiastic cartoonist who won several cartoon competitions on his native island of Java. He would later take up painting as a hobby and was completely self-taught.

Mon Decor Gallery cordially invites you to the Group Exhibition of Modern & Contemporary Chinese Painting

Any stylish terms can be applied to the works of such artists. I know them too well to see that their values are misinterpreted, let alone lost among those vague neologies of post-modernism.I would rather refer to these works as new realistic paintings. In fact, it is not necessary to emphasize their newness as everything in China is now witnessing so rapid development that it is unlikely for paintings to stay unchanged. So, when speaking of “new realism”, there is no need for us to try to compare it with social realism in the period of conservative, prohibitive China. Their only common ground lies in that they both are reflections of their ages. While the old realism contains too much false prosperity, the new realistic paintings assume the concealment of meaning as its aesthetic core. The exaggerated,….( More )

Agus Suwage solo Exhibition

I / CON. at Nadi Gallery Jakarta.

3th – 17th April 2007

Agus Suwage” = “Potret Diri”. That is the impression of many, many people until today regarding Agus Suwage and his paintings. They are not wrong, most of Suwage’s paintings indeed represent his own face and figure. But for the first time in the past 10 years, now we can witness Agus Suwage’s solo exhibition without his face/figure present in the paintings. I remember, the exhibition at H Block Gallery QUT, Brisbane, Australia (1996) was his last solo exhibition in which his face/figure was absent. Suwage’s works that will be exhibited at Nadi Gallery this time signifies a new episode in the history of his works. The exhibition for sure will still present “portraits” – but not self-portraits – but other people’s portraits done by Suwage through photos which we may have often seen in the media. Just like Suwage’s other portrait paintings, the works in this exhibition are also characterized by Suwage’s own personal interpretation of the photos. ( More Info )

March 14 – 26, 2007. At Nadi Gallery, Jakarta

At Tere’s place, interrupted by a lunch consisting of oseng-oseng pete, tiny salt-water fish, potatoes, tomatoes and chilli, I watched Teddy depicting Enin Supriyanto. Teddy has been keen on depicting models lately. Since quite a long time and quite frequently too, I’ve ever asked Teddy to give a solo exhibition in Nadi Gallery. But Teddy invariably responded with “I’m not ready, Mas” and promised to contact me once he already has a sufficient number of works to show. It was about in October last year, if I’m not mistaken, when Teddy did contact me, saying he already got enough pictures to show and he was ready for a solo exhibition. “Art Merdeka” (“Free Art”), “Painting is simplified drawing or drawing made complicated” –his two favorite statements– may provide the good start to get to know and grasp S. Teddy D’s works….( More )

Angki Purbandono is having a great month. As well as his inclusion in VWFAs show, he has a solo exhibition at the Cemeti Art House, Yogyakarta “Industrial Fiesta”. Angki participated in a year-long residency from September 2005-06 at the Chandong Artists Studio, South Korea. “Industrial Fiesta” illustrates Angki’s perceptions of how Korean society celebrates industrial progress. In Korea, Angki was interested in exploring “what was considered important to be saved” and “what should be thrown away” through the objects he found along the streets, which he recorded photographically. He attempted to search for other possibilities of producing digital images without using a camera. Showing at the Cemeti Art House until 1 April..( More Info )

(N)EVER MIND
An exhibition of 6 video artists
ViaVia, Jalan Prawirotaman 30, Jogjakarta
8-3-07

(N)EVER MIND is an exhibition of 6 video artists who deliberately choose the theatrical body language as a means of expression. The interconnection between body and mind implicates a creative process of playing and improvising. This leads to human impulse and behavior. But we also have to take into consideration that many specific aspects of our behavior and of our body language are also formed by social, political and cultural factors. Prilla Tania made this animation of a monkey eating worms as a comment on consumerism and human greediness. Tintin Wulia plays with proportions and scale; urban buildings are threatening our lives. Nadiah Bamadhaj made this video in Singapore , finding an old family house / a storehouse for memories of migration. Melati Suryodarmo, together with Oliver Blomeier, shows us the need for and tensions in (homo) sexual relationships. Arahmaiani made this video during a car ride in China , while boyfriends are discussed, reflecting the era of global ‘liberation’. Mella Jaarsma confuses the audience with cultural differences of potato peelers. With text by Heiner Muller.

Prilla Tania – Eat!, 2004
Tintin Wulia – Everything’s OK, 2003

Exhibition Rogier Boon, East Indies Designer
At Erasmus Huis, Jakarta. Date: 9 March 2007 – 11 April 2007

Rogier Boon was born in 1937 in Meester Cornelis (Batavia, Dutch East Indies; now Jatinegara in Jakarta). On June 19th 1954, on his 17th birthday, he and his father, stepmother, brother and sisters arrived in the Netherlands. As a journalist and activist, his father Tjalie Robinson (pseudonym of Jan Boon) started almost immediately with the opposition against the compulsory assimilation policies of the 1950-s. For him, being an “Indo” did not mean “consisting of two halves” but having double baggage: East and West. In his opinion, mixed cultures formed a promise and his message to the East Indies community was: Make it happen! The influence of Tjalie Robinson has unquestionably been paramount in Rogier’s choice to give the East Indies a modern face. Almost daily he was fed arguments why the East Indies wasn’t passé, and shouldn’t be allowed to become passé. Rogier was always looking for a modern, authentic East Indies, new style. Thanks to a great artistic talent he was able to illustrate the things his father could put into words…( Read More )

They are also shown engaging in plots with or against the gods. As if war were at the very heart of the human experience. The exhibition “Acts of War” similarly touches on the issue of war. Part of it is erotic in a poetical way, but the underlying message is mainly political. The exhibition consists of military object on which are painted scenes from Greek mythology.

2006 Taipei Biennial: Dirty Yoga
11, 04 , 2006 – 2, 25, 2007

“Dirty Yoga” attempts to use a currently popular pursuit as a symbol to explore, within the context of globalization, the conflicts that exist among different extreme values, and the various possibilities that may arise from them. Since the 1960s, people have gradually turned from radical politics and ideologies to a preoccupation with approaches to living, as manifested in the satisfaction of “desire” in our daily lives. Desire has replaced science and ethics as the primary social motivation for progress, while its essence and symbols have undergone constant change. This highlights the role played by consumerism and marketing mechanisms in shaping our perception of what it is we think we want. This expression of desire is also a manifestation of energy. Increased desire leads to greater fear of loss…( Read More )
