  • Equator Symposium 2014 the One and the Many: Ethics and Aesthetics in Practice in 21St Century Democracy
    EQUATOR SYMPOSIUM 2014 THE ONE AND THE MANY: ETHICS AND AESTHETICS IN PRACTICE IN 21ST CENTURY DEMOCRACY 17 - 18 November 2014 SEKOLAH PASCASARJANA GEDUNG LENGKUNG (5TH FLOOR) GADJAH MADA UNIVERSITY, YOGYAKARTA 4 FOREWORD Yustina Neni Director, Yogyakarta Biennale Foundation Will we be left behind by the world if we take a little longer to drink a cup of tea? Why must we know everything, if knowing you and your friends already makes me feel like I’m chasing the clock? I need a cup of tea made from much more than just a tea- bag that looks like the pads I use when I’m menstruating. A young man from America has indeed discovered a fast and enjoyable way for us to get to know each other, greet each other and speak to our friends. But are there not times when we really want to look at someone and face them, when we’re falling in love or when we’re giving up hope? Or when I want you to tell me off, and give me a recipe to dry my palms, which are always sweaty when we shake hands? The young American has now exceeded the Finlandian jargon of “Connecting People,” which once accompanied the pleasure of drinking tea, over 15 years ago. The Almighty Lord lives in the shadow of speed. After Steve Jobs moved into His apartments, I imagine He and Mr Jobs opening a new training-course for young angels. Not all the young angels are happy with their Lord’s idea. Two or three angels who are enjoying their tea say “Lord, we don’t want to do a course with Mr Jobs.

  • An Atlas of Mirrors” Marks the Fifth Edition of the Singapore Biennale
    Media Release Singapore Art Museum Announces Singapore Biennale 2016 Title “An Atlas of Mirrors” marks the Fifth Edition of the Singapore Biennale Singapore, 16 March 2016 - The Singapore Art Museum (SAM) today unveiled the title for the fifth edition of the Singapore Biennale - An Atlas of Mirrors. Through this title, Singapore Biennale 2016 (SB2016) will explore curatorial and artistic themes that pivot on Southeast Asia, but also encompass East and South Asia. Taking place from 27 October 2016 to 26 February 2017, the four-month long international contemporary art exhibition is organised by SAM and commissioned by the National Arts Council of Singapore. SB2016 will feature several site-specific and commissioned contemporary works never seen before on the biennale circuit. SB2016 Title - An Atlas of Mirrors For centuries, atlases and mirrors have been instrumental in humankind’s exploration of the world as we navigate and map our journeys into the unknown. While the atlas helps to chart paths of discovery, the mirror offers reflections and perspectives which can be, at times, skewed and distorted. Bringing together the atlas and mirror as an imagined new ‘device’ creates possibilities for unexpected ways of thinking and seeing. An Atlas of Mirrors will draw on diverse artistic viewpoints that trace the migratory and intertwining relationships within the region, and reflect on shared histories and current realities with East and South Asia. SB2016 examines the challenges of the region’s contemporary conditions, and positions Southeast Asia as the vantage point from which the world can be pictured anew. The full curatorial statement can be found in Annex A.

    ruangrupa 2000-2015 “ruangrupa ingin melihat urban sebagai ruang yang, mau tidak mau, harus dihidupi sambil terus dikritisi dengan sama intensnya.

It is a sad reflection of the times that one of the most contentious pertained to the Guggenheim’s withdrawal of three works involving animals from the Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World exhibition following threats of violence against staff. CIMAM was invited to sign a petition protesting the withdrawal of the work by the National Coalition Against Censorship but acknowledging the very difficult situation the gallery faced, we decided to invite the Director and the Curator of the exhibition to address the Board during our meeting in Singapore and to put the subject onto the agenda for our general assembly. The issues were thoughtfully addressed in the general assembly, as well as the situation regarding the inability of the Getty Foundation to support a colleague from Iran for our travel grants program because of the sanctions which prohibit support of any 4 external program which involves delegates from the government of Iran.

  • Lumbung Is the Indonesian Word for a Collectively Governed Rice-Barn, Where the Gathered Harvest Is Stored for the Common Good of the Community
    Kassel, June 18, 2020 Press announcement: documenta fifteen and lumbung practice. Announcement of the first lumbung- members lumbung is the Indonesian word for a collectively governed rice-barn, where the gathered harvest is stored for the common good of the community. ruangrupa has built the foundation of documenta fifteen on its core values and ideas. lumbung, as a concept, is the starting point for documenta fifteen. Over the coming years, lumbung will be operational in the lead up to documenta fifteen in 2022, and beyond. At this stage, ruangrupa gives an insight into how they understand and implement lumbung in their curatorial practice. In the spirit of lumbung, ruangrupa has invited the first lumbung-members and the Artistic Team to individually introduce themselves by sharing stories of their respective practices and how they connect to the wider project. ruangrupa on their lumbung concept for documenta fifteen The concept lumbung as a collectively-governed architecture for the storage of food serves a community’s long-term well-being through communal resources and mutual care, and it is organized around a set of shared values, collective rituals, and organizational principles. ruangrupa translates and continues this tradition of sharing within our own practice. We do not consider lumbung merely as a chosen “theme” for documenta fifteen. Instead, it is deeply imbued in ruangrupa’s everyday practice and is a summary of our methods and values thus far. As a collective, we share resources, time, energy, funds, ideas, and knowledge among ourselves and others. We first developed the concept of lumbung five years ago, when we formed a collective of collectives with Serrum and Grafis Huru Hara, an initiative that through ongoing trial and error finds its latest iteration in Gudskul, our collective-run space and school in South Jakarta.

    Consequential Privileges of the Social Artists: Meandering through the Practices of Siti Adiyati Subangun, Semsar Siahaan and Moelyono Grace Samboh Southeast of Now: Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art in Asia, Volume 4, Number 2, October 2020, pp. 205-235 (Article) Published by NUS Press Pte Ltd DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/sen.2020.0010 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/770700 [ Access provided at 24 Sep 2021 23:03 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Consequential Privileges of the Social Artists: Meandering through the Practices of Siti Adiyati Subangun, Semsar Siahaan and Moelyono GRACE SAMBOH Abstract How do artists work with people? How do artists work with many people? What do the people who work with these artists think about the work? Does the fact that they are artists matter to these people? What makes being an artist different from other (social) professions? Is the difference acknowledged? Is the difference fundamental? Does it have to be different? In the effort of locating different forms of artistic practice and planetary responsibilities, this essay addresses these questions through artists’ contexts and works, be it artworks, collective projects, collaborative efforts, living and working choices or writings. We want to open ourselves to the fact that problems in the arts are no longer limited to artists’ [and artistic] issues, but also any problems related to our society, be it in the world of science, technology, society or even the day-to-day. —Siti Adiyati Subangun et al., 19911 Southeast of Now Vol.
