Versi Panjang/Long Version

Versi panjang akan menjabari lebih detail apa yang pernah dilakukan sebagai seniman. Panjangnya sekitar 500-1000 kata. / The longer version will go on detail what has been done as an artist. Around 500-1000 words.

Contoh/Examples:

sempat bingung dengan apa maksud dari kata Jiwa tersebut. Setelah mengikuti di Instagram dan melihat update-updatenya, sepertinya ini sesuatu yang masih jarang saya lihat di kesenian Indonesia - penuh dengan instalasi besar yang memakai ruangan yang cukup luas, penuh dengan performance yang juga memakai ruangan yang cukup luas - berbeda dengan Biennale sebelumnya yang lebih berdekatan jarak antar karyanya.

Benar kata Annissa Gultom, salah satu Kurator Jakarta Biennale 2017, kamu tidak akan merasakannya sampai kamu ada di dalamnya/you have to experience it. 

Beberapa tahun terakhir saya makin yakin bagaimana seni adalah tentang rasa dan kemampuan kita membuat yang lain untuk merasakannya/art is about senses and the ability to deliver that to be sensed.

Setelah berpikir lama apa yang bisa saya katakan tentang Biennale ini, karena masih tidak menyangka kalau akhirnya saya berkesempatan kesana karena tidak bisa kembali ke Bali secepatnya disertai kepanikan kapan Gunung Agung akan memperbolehkan saya pulang, sesederhana itu, bahwa Jiwa mengundang kita merasakan Seni yang merupakan Rasa.

Switching from occupancy issues, Savitri wrote about her imagination while experiencing the city of London and Bandung. Architecture and built environment in those cities make her wondering, what has actually happened and represented? Why is London so massively doing construction? Skyline continues to grow, people keep moving. What does London tries to accomplish? Bandung, then, ever colonized by the Netherlands apparently is a primary driver of freedom movement of Asian and African countries. Even that momentum was crystallized in the form of a museum. What's going on? Or perhaps it was all just a mere imagination? Can't tell apart again what's fact and fiction. Maybe architecture and built environment just a background of a bigger scenario? Or is it all only dreams?

Ruang:

Good afternoon, friends of Ruang!

Enjoy our new article from DAE Savitri Sastrawan on "Bali: We Now Devote Ourselves to the God of (US) Dollar". She revealed about Bali’s current tourism state captured in her discussion with Balinese artists and their works responding the issue.

"In Bali, the emergence of a new god called “The God of US Dollar” has arguably become a haunting figure that has overwhelmed the relationship of the people to the existing deities and the land. Yet academics, historians, and anthropologists continue to read Bali as “the island of the gods”, and do not seem to have acknowledged this transition specifically. Instead, it seems to have been visualised and developed by native artists. Visual culture becomes the critical discourse that summons the socio-cultural implications of worshipping this alternative deity into the general social consciousness."

SOULID took place at Karja Art Space on July 2016 - an exhibition showing our solidarity and identities as artists and writer. As the 2009 batch of Fine Art/Seni Rupa Murni at ISI Denpasar, we want to show off how we have been and where we are now.

This time I was involved as a curator and we had 12 artists participating

The event was a success and we look forward to have more in the coming future!

More photos from the opening can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/KarjaArtSpace/posts/1047692061965401

SOULID diadakan di Karja Art Space di bulan Juli tahun 2016 - pameran ini menunjukan solidaritas dan identitas kami sebagai seniman dan penulis. Sebagai angkatan 2009 dari Seni Rupa Murni di ISI Denpasar, kita ingin berkabar ke dunia seni dan memperlihatkan dimana kita sekarang secara kekaryaan.

Saat ini saya berpartisipasi sebagai kurator dan 12 seniman lainnya memamerkan karyayanya.

Acara ini sukses dan kita tidak sabar lagi mengadakannya kembali ke depan!
