MIX & MATCH
PARTY TIME
To quote Bluto from Animal House : âMy advice to you is to start drinking heavilyâ
National Lampoonâs Animal House (1978)
Directed by John Landis
You canât make a list of Celebratory parties without including this classic, classic college party film. The movie tells the story of The Delta fraternity house in Faber college so disreputable it will take literally anyone, and another fraternity filled with white, obnoxious, anglo-saxon rich kids who rule the campus. The Dean of the school dislikes The Deltas and enlists the help of the rich white kid frat to kick them off school grounds, obviously, the Deltas canât be kicked off that easy. And whimpering through everything is Bluto (a role played magnificently by the late John Belushi), a force of nature: heâs horny, heâs thirsty, he consumes a shitload of shitty cafeteria food, and he pours an entire fifth of Jack Daniel's into his mouth, burps and leaves, heâs an icon.
Superbad (2007)
Directed by Greg Mottola
Like a better version of American Pie, three dorky friends are desperate to get laid and become popular (the oldest story in the book). When Fogell, one of the three dorks transforms himself with the goofy 25-year-old alias "McLovin," he opens the Pandora's Box of high school partying for the three. What starts as a simple trip the liquor store escalates to a night out with the cops and a stop at a wild party for bedroom sexy time with a hot g-string wearing redhead. The only bad side to this film is Michael fucking Cera, when will he retire? I mean sure, heâs good at this whole nerdy virgin thing but when itâs overused, its overused, so Iâd like to quote Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell at last yearâs Golden Globes and say âYou get outta here!â
Dazed and Confused (1993)
Directed by Richard Linklater
"If I ever say these were the best years of my life," one of the kids says, "remind me to kill myself." Its hard to believe that Richard Linklaterâs Dazed and Confused tanked at the box office when it first came out, because obviously now this film is as popular as ever and had become one of the youthâs most favourite stoner films (with The Big Lebowski and Harold and Kumar in heavy rotation). The story is a simple one : last day at school, a new rule to ban all narcotics and alcohol use for the football team, freshmen hazing, a failed attempt at a house party which leads to a beer bust in the hills. With all that simplicity, one might ask âwhat makes this film different than the usual teenage comedy?â And Iâll say, the script and Slater. Slater is a character in the film, a typical stoner; with his long, unruly hair and his almost lucid reaction to everything (not to mention, he is adorable) makes every scene he has in the film memorable. All in all, its just an incredibly funny, likeable film that you could recommend to anyone, probably even your grandmother, because you know she has lived through the era and probably had as much fun as the kids in the film.
Project X (2012)
Directed by Nima Nourizadeh
Few may think Iâm crazy for putting this film on this list, few would say âHow very uncool!â âHow Hollywood!â âA travesty of American Cinema!â Oh, shut up. You want a list about celebration, well here it is, the greatest fictional party Iâve ever seen. Iâm not easily amused by good music and alcohol, to get me really happy, there has to be a midget, an expensive car falling into a pool, a mini forest fire on your front porch and Thomas Mann (preferably unclothed). Project X is a mess in the greatest way possible; when Thomas turned 17, he decided to throw a free-for-all party in his Pasadena house, which easily turned out as the most crowded, chaotic party in the history of parties (Unless you count Brazilian sex parties, because ugh, donât google that shit. Youâre welcome.) This film caused quite the hype when the pirated DVDs started being distributed in Jakarta, we heard a few âcopycat partiesâ being held by SRKs (Super Rich Kids). Heads up, it was a movie. If you pull a stunt like that here, youâll end up in jail, but hey, maybe thatâs worth it!
Boogie Nights (1997)
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson

Is that a good enough review? Iâm pretty sure it is.
Everyone! Celebrate! Now!
Semua orang pasti pernah melakukan sebuah selebrasi, dan bahkan secara tidak sadar, mereka telah melakukannya setiap hari, malah mungkin setiap menit. Karena sebenarnya interpretasi selebrasi itu sangat luas, mulai dari pesta meriah hingga hal sesederhana menjetikkan jari sambil dengan pelan menghembuskan nafas lega adalah sebuah selebrasi buat kami selama dilakukan atas pencapaian tertentu, besar maupun kecil. Atas dasar tersebut kami tim Bear House pun mencoba membuktikan dengan mengumpulkan sudut pandang serta mencari tahu bagaimana cara teman-teman melakukan sebuah selebrasi.

Whatâs a celebration for you? Celebration kalau menurut aku, kayak rasa bersyukur sama sesuatu yang udah lama kita idamin, kayak sebuah impian.
And how do you celebrate? Selebrasinya paling makan bareng sama anak - anak kantor, itu kayak semacam wujud nadzar yg udah terpenuhi & kalau ga aku biasanya bikin gift away karya buat siapa aja yg mauuu :)

Whatâs a celebration for you? Ungkapan maaf atau terima kasih untuk diri sendiri, teman-teman, hal dan benda-benda yang terlibat dalam satu pencapaian tertentu.
And how do you celebrate? menuruti kemauan si ingin dan si napsu :P

art student
Whatâs a celebration for you? Usaha diri kita untuk memenuhi kebutuhan kesenangan dalam suatu rangka tertentu. Dan selebrasi sifatnya personal. And how do you celebrate? Bisa aja dari hal sederhana kaya jalan-jalan neraktir makan di warteg bareng temen sepuasnya ahahahaha.

Whatâs a celebration for you? Kata perayaan bagi saya kebebasan melepas sesuatu hal kesibukan atau yang membosankan.
And how do you celebrate? Perayaan sendiri itu cukup dengan kata teman - makanan - musik- berbelanja itu sudah perayaan besar dr kehidupan sehari, atau menghabiskan waktu tanpa beban dan bebas.
anzi matta
writer / visual artist
Whatâs a celebration for you? Celebration for me like.. Celebrate the things that we consider and we celebrate that because we are "aware" of it and we are grateful for it.
And how do you celebrate? Depending on what kind of celebration.. But... Mostly I don't do like party celebration. Never. Haha. I prefer to think of how far it has gone xD. Eh but that doesn't mean I don't like ppl who celebrate with party celebration.
abi chalabi
art student / musician
Whatâs a celebration for you? Melakukan hal yang menyenangkan (setidaknya bagi saya sendiri) setelah mendapatkan pencapaian tertentu. And how do you celebrate? Apapun asal menyenangkan. Sekalipun tidur atau menyaksikan video âmr bean malaysiaâ dengan kualitas blu-ray di tv 70 inch
natasha gabriella tontey
artist / graphic designer
Whatâs a celebration for you? I myself find that celebration is the end of my happiness, door to another sorrow, somekind of misty feeling that I had in celebration.
And how do you celebrate? I celebrate by treating myself and my other self, buying things that I want to have and eat whatever I want to eat.

visual artist / founder of rar zine
Whatâs a celebration for you? Celebration is life.
And how do you celebrate? Bangun tidur liat udah pagi, atau kebangun disiang hari, itu selebrasi banget.
toro elmar
visual artist / founder of sailboat records
Whatâs a celebration for you? Perayaan yang bahasa inggrisnya adalah celebration buat saya lebih ke sesuatu yang personal. You can be in a party with full of people you love, but still when you can celebrate your own, you lose.
And how do you celebrate? memejamkan mata sebentar, senyum yang tidak terlalu lebar, mengehela nafas, dan buka mata lagi, dan melihat sekeliling dan menyadari bahwa dunia itu begitu indah.
rain chudori
writer / main cast on rocket rain movie
Whatâs a celebration for you? For me, celebration is a commemoration of a moment where, for once, human beings are not fucking up.
And how do you celebrate? holding hands with the person i love
nastiti dewanti
anthropology student / traditional dancer
Whatâs a celebration for you? Konsepsi perayaan itu dibatasi waktu, sehingga pengertiannya tidak sempit; bahwa mungkin saja ternyata perayaan dilakukan setiap hari.
And how do you celebrate? I celebrate in a real fun way. Just as simply to pop a bottle of beer and gets some pizza or having a tea time and cook the meals together. It is surely depends on with whom and why do I celebrate.

Whatâs a celebration for you? Merayakan hari baru.
And how do you celebrate? hmmm ngejalanin hari baru kayak dora sedang berpetualang.
fatriana zukhra
co owner of the balletcats
Whatâs a celebration for you? For me, celebration is luxurious. Not in a party kind a way.. but because, i think, if you have something worth celebrating in your life, whatever it is, you have to feel very grateful. Because not everyone can have that.
And how do you celebrate? It's important for me to celebrate with myself first, before you go celebrate it or share it with someone else. I like to do "30 second dance party" with my self or maybe, mentally high five-ing myself..
TOKYO TOSAKA
I came to Japan on December 2013. It was what I expected it to be, but also nothing what I expected. People were vibrant and the streets was filled with lights and sounds. Stepping outside of the hotel was like stepping inside my house in Indonesia. It felt like home.

bored of this ceaseless pattern
Iâm pretty sure weâve all come to the point of being utterly sick of everydayâs life (and considering jumping off a cliff, due to obvious educational causes). Yet, we find ourselves not doing anything about it. I, myself, am BEYOND sick of having to follow my everydayâs routine in order to be considered normal. Like â danger: rant starts here â who in this whole wide world is not tired of being required to waking up early in the morning and going to school or doing whatever else you are âoughtâ to do? It doesnât really matter if what youâre currently doing is for a living or a decent academic performance; a routine is still a boring-ass routine. Unless you happen to be an extra-terrestrial creature that loves to do the ever so dreadful, monotonous, life-absorbing daily pattern, I suggest you to stop reading here.
What you needâŚâŚ is a little twist. Do something different! (Without ending up hurting someone else AND yourself, please keep this in mind) As cheesy as this sounds, but you can try to plan a road trip with a couple of friends and a rented Volkswagen Kombi, if you are legal to drive of course.
What was that? Youâre still underage? Well gurl, we are on the same page. This one might works; Music Festivals. I went to my first music festival earlier this year and ainât nobody can lie about the strong vibe you get during festivals. Damn, it was a total mood booster. I did not get any breakdown until approximately a week after. The breakdown includes; post-concert depression and an online post breakup trifle with a recent ex (not relevant, whatsoever). Honestly, any concert helps to crack the dullness of life for a bit. I know that the idea seems a bit âBlah, duh,â but I feel like some people need to be evoked of this not-so-obscure option.
Another thing you can do is exercise. On the bright side you will definitely burn calories, become hotter and be more confident about yourself. On the downside, it is VERY hard to unglue your bottom off the comfy couch. Somehow, I always find myself being an absolute couch potato whenever I have the urge to go to the gym. Itâs as if, no matter how busy you are with your life there is still some space to be too lazy to work out. But, I am sure some of you are in a way more productive than I am and are able to live a healthy lifestyle, if so, hurrah for you! Iâm not saying that you have to workout, but hey, its healthy and productive.
There are tons of other things that you can do to make life more meaningful. You might as well try to expand your social circle during weekends, instead of just going out with the same people over and over again (this works wonders, I swear). You can also go out for a food adventure, which is basically trying out some places to eat, going with friends is very, very advisable. By this point I am convinced that you have thought of drinking out or smoking pot or going to a rave project x kind of party or all three at once. Essentially, you are absolutely recommended to do the things you donât usually do. The art of being free-spirited is to be spontaneous. Just try not to kill anyone, or yourself.

birthdays all across the world
The diversity of this world continues as we emerge to the land of traditions across the globe. It is fascinating how different a culture to another. Here, Bear House takes you on a heritage tour of birthday celebrations across the world.
In China, there is an ancient tradition or eating a plate of long noodles, slurping them as far as possible before biting. This is to symbolize the longevity of oneâs life. Sounds yummy, eh?
Irish people always come up with things that might seem to be outside the boundaries yet are still acceptable. You see, it is a tradition to hold a child upside down and bump his or her head onto the floor on their birthday. One âbumpâ for every year of their age, plus another bump for good luck. I reckon that this is quite a troubling thing for any child services out there, but tradition is a tradition!
Oh you just canât hate Jamaicans! The birthday boy or girl will be doused with flour in ambush or during an organized birthday party. Thereâs no way in escaping this flour-coating tradition. Because, your friends and family members are definitely more than happy to throw flour at you!
The Germans probably have the best birthday tradition. Ever. The birthday child is never given any homework or chore to do on that day! (Oh, I would do anything to have this on my birthday) The childâs house is also decorated festively. There is a special wooden birthday wreath on the dining or kitchen table. The wreath contains small holes and a life-candle holder in the center. The life-candle is the tallest candles amongst all of the candles lit. This candle will be lit every year on the childâs birthday until they reach the age of twelve.
Argentines have a peculiar way of congratulating oneâs birthday. The birthday boy or girl will receive a tug on the earlobe for each year of their life. I wonder if on the day after, everyone wakes up to a pair of swollen earsâŚ
Mexicans are known to be extravagant in celebrating occasions. The birthday piĂąata is one example. I mean câmon, itâs filled with candies! Children definitely love this. Just get a blindfold and a broomstick, and youâre all set to whack some candies out.

Bear House no.7: Celebration Issue
Siapa yang tidak suka saat mendengar kata âcelebrationâ? Karena pasti dibalik sebuah selebrasi, dalam bentuk apapun, ada sebuah pencapaian dibaliknya. Selebrasi maupun pencapaian itupun tidak memiliki standar khusus, seseorang bisa melakukan suatu pencapain apapun tahun ini, hari ini, detik ini, sesederhana apapun itu. Dan atas pencapaian tersebut, seseorang akan melakukan sebuah selebrasi, mulai dari pesta yang meriah hingga sesederhana meneriakkan âyay!â.
Kira-kira sebulan lalu, tidak terasa kami telah menempuh tahun pertama kami (yay!). Dengan total download lebih dari 1000x, entah siapa saja, kami tidak mengenal sebegitu banyak orang tapi tentunya hal itu merupakan sebuah achievement besar buat kami. Dan maka dari itu kami hadirkan issue no.7 bertemakan âCelebrationâ sebagai bentuk selebrasi kami untuk kita semua. (now you say yay!)
Dengan tema terkait, seharusnya tulisan ini memiliki lebih banyak yay! but however, we have the not-so-yay part, yaitu kami akan berhibernasi. Alasan utama mungkin karena Editor in Chief kita Putti Hatti Imanni akan ujian, hal tersebut juga kami akan manfaatkan untuk beristirahat sejenak, melakukan evaluasi terhadap apa yang telah kami lakukan selama setahun ini, dan beberapa hal lainnya. One thing for sure, sooner or later, weâll be back to give your more yays
Oh and last but not least
THANK YOU SO MUCH! - Ratta Bill Abaggi

PENCIL SKIRT IS ON
Wearing short flared skirt? It's getting old, pencil skirt with a midi length that hits below the knee is a new one. One part retro and one part '90s. Pencil skirt is usually worn either as a part of a suit, but not again, pencil skirt is always hot - not to mention confident, sensual and highly feminine. This season it's become the perfect canvas for the key prints - checks, plaids and tartans. A little bit touch of flower in your pencil skirt is a sweet one, like Newton skirt from VAHADA or sequined pencil skirt with an embroidered elastic ribbon resting on the hips (It is a key item of the SS14 collection) from RODEBJER. This thing became one of every girl should have in her styling arsenal.
Here are half a dozen styling ideas.Â
going experimental with KANDURA KERAMIK
Berawal dari teman satu kampus yang memiliki hasrat yang sama. Dimulai dengan acara makan - makan bareng dirumah teman secara bergiliran, tiba - tiba muncul keinginan untuk membuat peralatan makan sendiri dan menjualnya. Bahan keramik dengan design yang quirky ala mereka, menjadi daya tarik tersendiri bagi banyak orang. Mereka tidak lagi hanya menjual peralatan makan, tapi mulai membuat aksesoris dan barang - barang rumah. Sekarang mereka dikenal sebagai KANDURA KERAMIK.
â˘Sudah berapa lama Kandura berdiri?
Kandura mulai beraktifitas sejak tahun 2005.
â˘Apakah team Kandura dari teman - teman sendiri?
Betul, kami bermula dari pertemanan di tempat perkuliahan kami di Fakultas Seni Rupa dan Desain , Institut Teknologi Bandung.
â˘Hal apakah yang membuat kalian ingin membuat industri keramik? Sedangkan masih banyak hal lain yang masih bisa dieksplor dan diminati selain keramik.
Awalnya kami senang membuat acara makan-makan untuk sekedar merayakan ulang tahun teman atau makan - makan sore hari sampai malam di rumah seorang teman kami dan pindah ke teman yang lainnya secara bergiliran, nah, dari sinilah kemudian datang ide untuk membuat peralatan makan sendiri dan sampai hari ini kami sangat senang mengeksplorasi material keramik untuk tablewares, menurut kami eksperimen dan risert dalam keramik sangatlah menyenangkan, karena sifat materialnya yang plastis, belum lagi bahan bahan pewarna yang beragam sehingga kami selalu merasa tidak pernah cukup untuk terus bereksperimen. Hal ini akan kami terus kembangkan demi bisa menghadirkan pengalaman makan yang lebih berkesan untuk para konsumen Kandura.
â˘Siapa sih yang pertama mencetus ide untuk buat peralatan makan sendiri?
Ketertarikan Fauzy untuk mendalami tentang peralatan makan dimulai sejak Ia mengerjakan tugas studio di perkuliahan di Desain Produk ITB dan lalu meluas pada ketertarikan material.
â˘Apa arti kata "Kandura" dan "Seni" dari sudut pandang kalian?
Kandura itu diambil dari bahasa Indonesia lama , yang kami ambil dari Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia yang adalah Kenduri, yang artinya adalah acara makan makan (syukuran) untuk sesuatu yang lebih baik di masa yang akan datang.
Seni bagi kami adalah cara, atau proses dimana seseorang berfikir lebih kreatif, lalu berbuah ide untuk kemudian menyelesaikan masalahnya.
â˘Melihat design Kandura yang unik - unik, siapa yang menginspirasi kalian?
Inspirasi bisa datang darimana saja, bisa dari kebiasaan googling, membaca majalah, musik, atau sampai pengalaman pribadi dengan lingkungan sekitar.Â
â˘Kalau lebih spesifik ke seseorang, kira - kira siapa yang menginspirasi Kandura?
Seniman kontemporer dan kurator Asmudjo Jono Irianto adalah salah satu idola kami. Kami menikmati sisi spontanius yang meledak-ledak juga humor dalam setiap pemikirannya.
â˘Apa hal yang paling menantang dari meniti karier di industri keramik?
Membuat Kandura semakin baik, semakin dikenal lebih luas lagi, dan bertahan dalam umur yang sangat panjang mungkin itu tantangan terberatnya ya.
â˘Produk - produk apa saja yang kalian buat?
Main produk kita tablewares, kadang - kadang kita juga membuat koleksi jewelry, kedepannya kita juga berencana untuk membuka line tekstil untuk pendukung keramiknya.
â˘Apakah ada bahan - bahan yang membedakan antara Kandura dengan keramik - keramik yang lain?
Basically bahan - bahan yang kami gunakan sama, tetapi mungkin bedanya dari teknis yang kami pakai, serta teknis pewarnaanya, serta designnya.
â˘Bagaimana Kandura meyebut karyanya?
Kami lebih senang menyebutnya dengan kata "eksperimental".
â˘Kenapa memilih eksperimental?
Karena kemungkinan yang masih dapat digali dari material keramik ini masih sangat banyak dan apabila kami berhenti dalam bereksperimen , maka pemahaman kita terhadap material ini akan berhenti. Begitu pula dengan permainan komposisi dan bentuk. Kami memilih untuk terus menikmati proses ini.
â˘Bagaimana kalian mengatasi ketidak-wajaran dalam karya kalian hingga menjadi sesuatu yang quirky?
Tidak ada unsur kesengajaan untuk menjadi tidak wajar.
â˘Seberapa penting menurut kalian ke'aneh'an itu sendiri dalam suatu hasil karya?
Suatu karya tercipta dari buah pemikiran terhadap suatu permasalahan yang terjadi dalam keseharian kami. Semakin jujur pada pemikiran terhadap karya itu, semakin berhasil diterjemahkan karya kami tersebut. Kami ngga aneh kok......
â˘Project apa yang ingin dilakukan Kandura kedepannya?
Intuk kedepannya kami ingin menjadikan studio kami adalah studio Research and Develop, membuat prototype untuk kemudian di produksi massal di pabrik yang skala produksinya lebih besar. Sekarang ini kami sedang menjajaki sebuah kolaborasi dengan pabrik besar, semoga dalam waktu dekat bisa terealisasikan.
â˘Apa tujuan yang kalian pikirkan saat membuat Kandura?
Pada saat membuat Kandura (mungkin karena pada saat itu kami masih baru selesai kuliah) pikiran kami hanya sebatas: yuk berbuat sesuatu di studio keramik yang kita bangun sama sama, tidak pernah membayangkan sebelumnya kalau ternyata hasil dari bekerja sesuatu tersebut bisa diapresiasi oleh orang banyak. Tetapi seiring berjalannya waktu, kami mulai me-list satu persatu keinginan kami untuk Kandura di masa yang akan datang, dan semoga kami tidak pernah kehabisan ide untuk terus berkembang :)
â˘Apakah tujuan itu sudah tercapai?
Satu persatu tujuannya tercapai, walaupun belum semua, kalau satu selesai selalu ada lagi tujuan yang lainnya. kami harap Kandura bisa terus dinamis sesuai dengan jamannya serta tidak pernah berhenti bereksperimen.

adorable bizzarity with NATASHA GABRIELLA TONTEY
Tontey adalah seorang graphic designer dan juga artist yang sangat mencintai kehidupan masa kecilnya, terlihat dari karya-karyanya yang sering bereksperimentasi dengan media-media yang tidak umum seperti boneka barbie, cerita anak-anak serta berbagai film. Karyanya yang unik memang pantas di apresiasi lebih, maka dari itu kami hadirkan Natasha Gabriella Tontey yang akan bercerita seputar karyanya yang quirky.
â˘Bisa ceritakan kehidupan tontey?
Dari dulu sampai sekarang, gue masih tinggal di situ - situ aja, "Komplek Bambu". Sekolah dasar gue juga deket sama rumah, kalau SMP sama SMA gue di Tarki. Kuliah gue di UPH dan ambil Graphic Design. Sekarang gue kerja part time jadi Graphic Designer di Studio 1212, di Cereal Nation dan selebihnya ngerjain project - project sendiri aja.
â˘Di keluarga ada yang nyeni juga ga?
Ga ada. Kalau mama gue kerja, bokap gue juga kerja yang gaada hubungannya sama seni dan kaka gue jadi dosen.
â˘Apa pendapat orangtua lo tentang yang lo lakuin?
Dibolehin walaupun pertamanya bingung. Gue kan emang kuliahnya di Graphic Design, dan orangtua gue taunya kalau abis selesai kuliah langsung kerja di advertising dan karier yang jelas, padahal sekarang gue makin gajelas haha.
â˘Ada aspek dari kehidupan masa kecil lo yang berpengaruh ke karya - karya lo yang sekarang?
Banyak. Beberapa karya gue terinspirasi dari masa kecil yang pernah gue alamin, kayak ngeliat orang berantem, nanti gue terinspirasi dari sana. Gue dari kecil memang ga pernah dirawat langsung sama orangtua gue, dua - duanya sibuk kerja. Saat liburan, juga jarang sama orangtua jadi saat-saat bersama orangtua menjadi sebuah quality time banget buat gue dan menimbulkan inspirasi buat karya gue.
Karya tugas akhir, gue buat buku yang ditulis sama Rain Chudori tentang perceraian orangtua lalu gue visualisasikan. Gue lumayan tertarik ngebahas masa kecil buat karya gue.
â˘Di titik apa lo pingin jadi seorang artist?
Pas tk kita suka ditanyain, "Udah gede mau jadi apa?", dari situ gue udah jawab, "Seniman!". Dari situ gue mulai dibeliin kanvas sama nyokap. Beranjak gue masuk sekolah, gue mulai menghadapi matematika! Dan ternyata gue ga bisa matematika tapi gue malah seneng banget saat pelajaran menggambar.Â
â˘Lo kepingin jadi artist memang dari kecil banget ya? Bukan hanya keinginan ngomong sesaat?
Memang dari kecil, tapi beberapa tahun ini gue mikir lagi, "Bener gasih yang gue lakukan?" "Salah jurusan ga ya" "Nyesel ga ya", tapi kalau nyesel ya ga mungkin sih, cuma gimana caranya untuk bikin diri kita seneng dengan apa yang kita kerjakan aja yang sering jadi pertanyaan buat gue.
â˘Warna apa yang paling lo sering gunakan?
Merah, putih, hitam dan pink! Kenapa warna itu? Gatau kenapa kayak gitu, suka aja.
â˘Apakah warna - warna itu yang menjadi daya tarik lo sendiri?
Ga juga sih tapi gatau haha, sekarang lagi coba warna yang lain, tapi kalau udah jadi malah kayak, "Kok warnanya ini lagi?".
â˘Inspirasi lo siapa?
Frida Kahlo! Dari dulu sampai sekarang.
â˘Lokal?
Oscar Motuloh dan Melati Suryodarmo.
â˘Gimana caranya lo bisa menemukan gaya khas lo sendiri?
Gue merasakan kalau gue belum bisa konsisten, gatau menurut orang lain.
â˘Lo lebih suka membuat instalasi atau kanvas?
Beda - beda, tadinya gue belajar photography di Gallery Atara, terus mulai ikut pameran dan mulai mengunakan boneka - boneka itu sebagai karya gue.
â˘Kenapa lo ga jual pertnak - pernik yang lo buat?
Karena gue males haha. Sebenernya karena gue sibuk sama kerja dan project gue sendiri, kalau gue buat brand pasti gue harus bertanggung jawab sepenuhnya dan selalu kontrol, apalagi aksesoris yang gue buat itu kebanyakan handmade.
â˘Apa yang lo rasakan saat berkarya?
Senang! Kayak bisa buat sesuatu yang jelek menjadi bagus, seperti kepala boneka putus yang bisa dijadikan sesuatu yang lebih enak dilihat serta terasa beda.
â˘Kenapa lo bisa terinspirasi oleh barbie - barbie?
Sebenernya gue emang suka ngumpulin mainan, ada boneka yang udah seumur gue dan banyak yang bilang, "Ngapain itu disimpen? Buang aja, udah jelek" tapi perasaan gue tuh kayak film Toy Story, ga tega buang mainan.
â˘Gimana lo bisa punya koleksi boneka yang aneh - aneh?
Ada yang memang milik gue dari kecil, beli di toko atau banyak juga orang yang kasih boneka ke gue karena mereka udah ga mau lagi.
â˘Banyak ga boneka dari waktu kecil lo?
Banyak, tapi gue malah sayang makenya karena banyak memori dan juga boneka dulu ga selentur boneka sekarang.
â˘Kalau lo sedang bekarya, apa yang dibutuhkan?
Kemauan, bahan dan cutter! Gue selalu membawa cutter kemanapun.
â˘Kenapa cutter?
In case kalau ada sesuatu yang harus dipotong, ya sebenernya karena trauma juga sih.
â˘Trauma apa?
Jadi dulu pas smp gue pernah ditodong di bus, premannya minta hp dan gue ga kasih, gatau gue mikir apa tapi gue langsung lompat dari bus dan kepala gue berdarah, semenjak itu gue bawa cutter.
â˘Lo sebut karya lo apa?
Kalau menurut gue pribadi karya gue merupakan pertanyaan gue sendiri terhadap seni itu sendiri. Gue terus bertanya dengan bikin karya. Kalau menurut orang, ada yang bilang karya gue memvisualisasikan diri gue sendiri, ada yang bilang jelek, imajinatif, lewat seni gue bisa berkisah tentang ideologis, psikologis maupun konsep dan estetis pribadi gue.
â˘Saat ada orang yang bilang karya lo aneh, apa reaksi lo?
Biasa aja, yang penting gue bahagia dengan apa yang gue lakukan.
â˘Disaat lo berkarya pasti ada saat - saat kejenuhan datang, gimana cara lo ngatasinnya disaat ada deadline?
Makan coklat.
â˘Disaat ada waktu luang, lo ngapain?
Jalan - jalan kalau ada uang, kalau ga ada uang, gue akan tidur, nonton atau baca buku
â˘Lo lebih tertarik buku, film atau musik?
Buku!
â˘Sekarang lagi baca buku apa?
Dari dua bulan lalu belum selesai-selesai baca Untitled Horrors dari Cindy Sherman sama lagi baca ulang Amphigorey Again dari Edward Gorey setiap sebelum tidur.
â˘Ada yang bilang, "Weird things become cool nowadays" Apa pendapat lo tentang itu?
What the fuck...
Karya yang baik adalah karya yang bisa buat lo seneng dan bisa buat lo puas. Tapi di dunia ini ga ada orang yang puas, berarti ga ada karya yang baik haha.
â˘Sebutkan 1 hal yang menurut lo quirky!
Boneka Christie yang buat mainan make-up anak kecil dan segede kepala manusia beneran.

between oddities with EMTE
eMTe atau Muhammad Taufiq adalah seorang illustrator yang berdomisili di Jakarta. Tema yang diangkat dalam karya-karyanya memang sekelebat terlihat lazim, tapi dengan terkaan yang lebih dalam, ternyata ada pesan âlainâ yang tersimpul didalamnya.
â˘Ceritakan sehari-harinya seorang emte!
Bangun pagi, gambar, ngabisin waktu di depan computer, terus ngulik kerjaan, bikin personal artwork juga. Kadang-kadang iseng keluar jalan-jalan, berenang, main airsoft, tapi mostly gambar. Kebanyakan waktu gue habiskan dirumah, tapi ruang kerja dan istirahat dipisah.
â˘Harus dipisah ruangnya?
Harus tegas pembagian untuk kerja dan tidur! Kalo kecampur susah manajemen waktunya.
â˘Bagaimana emte menyebut karya-karyanya?
Gue sih gambar gapernah pusing soal style. Karena untuk gue gambar yang penting enjoy dan jujur, nggak usah terlalu banyak referensi ke seniman ini itu. Dalam beberapa aspek awalnya memang bisa memperkaya wawasan, meungkin ada beberapa teknik yang bisa diterapkan dari seniman lain dan bisa dikembangkan dalam eksplorasi style. Mesti orang lain sih yang bilang karya gue gimana.
â˘Sampai menemukan style atau ciri gimana?
Kadang gue suka mencoba style yang beda-beda, tapi tetap âjejakâ gue kelihatan di karya-karya itu. Gue percaya, seberapapun kita berusaha untuk membedakan style dalam berkarya, tetap aja orang bisa liat ciri khas atau keunikan gambar kita. Gambar âse-keluarnyaâ aja, nggak usah mikir ini itu, gimana tertuangnya aja.
â˘Apa yang jadi faktor terbesar Emte dalam berkarya?
Kalau secara fisik, yang jelas harus cukup tidur, karena kondisi fisik mempengaruhi mood. Ngga mungkin bisa enjoy kalau belum tidur. Tapi, kalau untuk kerjaan professional nggak bisa tergantung mood. Apapun suasana hati, mau sedih mau senang atau marah tetap gambar aja. Itu dan cemilan, koneksi internet yang cepat, dan lagu sih.
â˘Dengerin apa kalau lagi gambar?
Musik yang gue denger pada dasarnya metal. Tapi Club 8 atau The Temper Trap juga oke. Kalau kerjanya udah enak, musiknya bisa kenceng, tapi kalau perlu fokus, gue dengernya music yang lebih slow.
â˘Kapan pertama kali merasa yakin untuk menjadi seorang illustrator?
Sejak kuliah gue udah mulai dapet kerjaan, tapi pertama kali gue dibayar pas SMP. Gue ngirim komik strip ke sebuah tabloid anak, lalu dapet bayaran Rp. 54.000. Semakin luas koneksi dan link juga tawaran job gue bertambah, dan dari sini gue mampu biayain kuliah sendiri. Kalau serius menekuni pasti sanggup. Hingga hari ini gue nggak pernah ngantor!
â˘Komik apa?
Komik yang gue kirim tentang basket. Dulu lagi ngetrend NBA, lalu gue terinspirasi untuk bikin dream team sendiri. Anggota timnya ada yang tengkorak tinggi, ada yang tangannya empat, alien, ada mantan orang gila, dia suka dijadiin pemain yang mengecoh lawan. Idenya terpengaruh dari apa yang gue sering liat aja sih, tapi dibikin lebih âliarâ. Gue memang suka baca komik dan suka bikin komik.
â˘Pernah nggak ada yang bilang karya lo aneh? Kalo pernah, reaksi lo gimana?
Sebagai seniman terus berkarya aja, asalkan jujur. Gimanapun outputnya, mau acak-acakan dan campur aduk, yang penting gue nyaman dan enjoy. Ketika gambar itu udah diespon oleh publik, nggak bisa bercita-cita semua orang suka. Tugas lo sebagai seniman sebenarnya hanya sampai proses penciptaan aja, setelah itu bisa dibilang lo udah âmatiâ, tinggal karya lo aja yang berbicara. Jangan maksain pesannya aja.
â˘Kapan sebuah karya bisa dibilang quirky?
Sebenernya standar sesuatu untuk dibilang nyeleneh kan tentunya takarannya di masing-masing orang, misalnya gambar objek atau kombinasi warna yang nggak kepikiran orang lain. Hal-hal diluar kebiasaan orang ini juga tergantung banget dengan cara ngemas idenya. Aneh yang keren juga subjektif luas banget sih lingkupnya, yang keren buat gue belum tentu keren menurut lo. Belakangan ini karya yang menurut gue quirky adalah karya intalasi Yudi Sulistyo, yang âWorld Without Seaâ yang ditampilkan di ArtJog kemarin.
â˘Kira-kira ada batasan âquirkyâ sebelum jadi ânorakâ ngga?
Menikmati karya memang lebih ke persoalan hati dan taste. Kadang ada beberapa kasus, memang susah dijelasin, karya yang terasa âtrying too hardâ. Tapi kembali lagi ke selera masing-masing sih. Boleh jadi semakin susah dipahami artinya semakin quirky, lalu berlindung dibalik âinilah artâ.
â˘Keanehan itu sebenarnya excuse atau tool untuk berkarya?
âAnehâ itu seharusnya lebih ke dampak orang yang menyimak karya kita. Objek yang biasa aja bisa di kemas sebagaimana rupa sehingga menjadi âanehâ. Misalnya portrait ibu-ibu, proporsi, warna, anatominya benar, tapi matanya jereng.
â˘Faktor apa yang menjadi daya tarik sebuah karya seni, khususnya visual? Harus aneh nggak?
Gue takut malah ketika kita sering melihat-lihat, malah yang aneh jadi terlihat biasa. Saran gue ketika berkarya jangan berniat gambarnya terlihat aneh. Jangan memaksakan diri untuk bikin karya yang aneh-aneh! Murni pemikiran kita dan ide kita aja, factor yang membuat aneh kan bisa dari warna, penggarapan bentuk, komposisi dan presentasi.
â˘Apakah karya yang baik adalah karya yang aneh?
Nggak sih. Kadang-kadang ada karya yang sebegitu polosnya, sebegitu jujur, tapi menarik. Kita malahan salut kan, disaat semua orang âjor-joranâ dia santai dalam berkarya. Gue sendiri aja nggak ngerti arti dari seni itu, yang menggugah perasaan, tapi gimana? Sentuhan seni? Kalau ditanya kenapa karya yang bagus kan juga jawabannya seringkali âya⌠karena bagusââŚ
â˘Sebutkan satu hal yang menurut lo quirky!
Petasan!!

THINGS HAPPENED THIS YEAR
-----------------------------------------
2013 is nothing but a blast. I mean look at all those good times, donât be such an ignorant. From live concerts to hyped trends, art shows to fancy running, they all have blended into one delicious good times smoothie. Pardon me for my sketchy memory, but I tried my best. Here are 10 things I listed for being the ultimate ingredients of a delicious 2013 smoothie:
First of all, please donât tell me that Iâm the only one who noticed this phenomenon. UK is colonizing us! Youâll always spot youth using Docmart like, everyday. They practically bought boots that their parents would probably crack up âcause those high priced boots their kids wear today are exactly something they had thrown away to the garbage yesterday. Then there are the bands, of course. Started with The Stone Roses show on February, continued with Blur on May. What more could you ask for? Oasis! Right, now sing Stand By Me with me now in a mirage!
I always liked the part where artists band together to work on something good, and they always did. Lokananta, the most historical audio recording studio located in Solo, Indonesia have been on the brink of being shut down last year. Itâs one fact that hurt both our ears and hearts, but local musicians truly wonât let that happen. Numerous ways have been taken, like charity shows and projects. Some big names like Glenn Fredly, White Shoes and the Couples Company and Efek Rumah Kaca were willing to travel far to record their album there which then attract quite an attention. Good news that rumor has it the government are planning to turning the building into an Indonesiaâs first music museum.
While the three stripes and tick shoes are way overpopulated. Hipsters are thinking, what should we do now? Right, looking back to move forward. The shoes with the N logo looked promising, I mean, itâs nice for real. So here it is, the year of the ascending of the N shoes!
Itâs been a hard time, hearing one of the most notable local indie band is suffering from issues. Itâs Sore, Mondo is leaving, Ade is rumored to leave, the band then issued to have disbanded, but thank god itâs an âeffin hoax. Rolling Stone cafe was the witness, theyâre back again on May 5th, performing old songs plus new songs in front of tons of longing crowds. Thank god.
People do hate war, but they do like camos! Itâs weird but itâs true. What Iâm saying is, wearing camo is pretty much like a subliminal message of a pro-war movement. You know, seeing camo, directs you to think about war. But oh well, donât take my words on that, itâs all for the sake of fashion.
The artist couple Maria Tri Sulistyani (Ria) and Iwan Effendi will be loving this year. How canât they? Theyâre actually spreading their works around the country and even more, theyâre throwing shows in Australia. Their contribution for ArtJog 2013 was also a big hit, both the carousel installation and the shows were wonderful. Â The beauty of the papermoon theater is undeniable, you should see it for yourself at least once in your life, you can take my words now.
Itâs August 25th, our best soccer stadium was borrowed to be the place where history is going to be written (at least in the history of music). They are back, after 20 years! So for like 2 decades young metalheads were wishing they were born earlier. But the pain is no more now, you metalheads can die happy now.
I guess the term is getting homey in your ears now. Kitsch art, which I probably like it better when itâs labeled as âIndonesian Contemporary Kitsch Artâ because what Kitsch art was is a lot differ from what we know as a kitsch art today. But itâs a good thing, we have found gold. Like it or not, the âbadâ art, that tend to have tacky colors, early 2000âs texting styles (remember word art? Itâs worse), lame graphics are taking a big step this year. Exciting it is!
I never give a shit about anything related to automotive before, but this one is as well as catching up my sight. Is a cafe racer, the subculture that emerged in the early 60s around UK for racing using customized bikes, from cafe to cafe. But here, is slightly different, there is no cafe, there is no race, just bike. The bike is superbly unique, and manly as well. It takes a real man to deal with wheels like this, and a fat bank account please. And if you donât have enough cash or guts, you can still imitate the style only by spending Rp100.000,- for a pomade wax.
I donât know, are people collectively feeling ill nowadays or what? So people are turning vegan (or vegetarian, thatâs different!), taking diet programs (from mentalist), and running around with fancy shoes. The generation before us didnât do any of that and theyâre doing just fine I guess. But okay, to be honest those all pointing to positive points and thatâs a good thing. So keep on what you believe people!
