“These balls were a gift from my older brother; my parents couldn’t afford to buy me these. We are a poor family, and my parents never bought me any toy I wanted because we couldn’t afford it. My older brother Jona felt sad when he saw me cry because I wanted a ball. Every day, he saved a little money from his job delivering newspapers so I could play ball. Once he had saved enough money, he bought me two balls at once. I was very happy and I love my brother very much. Now I already have a brand new, better football, but these two balls still – and will always – give me a sweet  memory, that of an older’s brother love,..”

Artist’s Residence: Leila Pazooki

VISITATION PERIOD:
February  – July 2012

***

The latest exhibition by Berlin based artist Leila Pazooki is the result her research and work during months of residency in Indonesia. In her recent works she has tried to formulate her role as a conceptual artist in relation to producers, artisans and craftsmen and in this case she has done so through elements of local culture.

She has reflected upon this relationship in the light of “animism” as an important and ancient aspect of many local religions. Animism negates the presumed borders between spiritual and material worlds. In this philosophy objects are believed to have a life of their own with their souls engaged in dialogs and interactions with the rest of the world. The universe is therefore a continuum and the Cartesian subject/object duality cannot be valid in this model of thought.

The relationship between presence and absence, materiality and spirituality, object and subject are therefore seen in Pazooki’s work through this philosophy. She has tried to incorporate this philosophy into her process of art making. As part of her investigation on these themes Pazooki asked a group of local artisans to make a series of objects sphere shaped objects. However they were free to make their own interpretations of the form. The results are as diverse as perfectly smooth and rounded balls to tessellated and faceted polyhedrons. However these various shapes are manifestations of an idea in Platonic sense. Each craftsman has made a distinctive form which depicts his/her unique path of perception and creation. The objects and their lives are all associated and different at the same time.

As another component we see silhouettes of some paintings on the wall, shown with a number of descriptive texts written by a group of participants in a workshop. Images have been removed while their traces in the form of interpretations are available. The audience is therefore invited to perceive the absent imagery through words and narratives. The excluded image leaves a vast space for imagination as well as logical comparison and inference based on the textual information. The absence here encourages creative engagement on the audiences’ side.

Empty spaces in mind which has been depicted in Pazooki’s work through complementary approaches can be seen as a precondition for expanded perception. In her work it is seen as a potential for understanding as well as fantasy. Beyond orthodox frameworks of perception the mind is set free to establish a dialectical relationship between present and absent entities. Hope, imagination and magical thought become possibilities in such a fluid mode of thought and perception. The emptiness creates a field of potentialities for heterotopias where subjects and objects can meet and change roles.

HONF’s presentation at Langgeng Art Foundation (LAF) is their starting point to introduce these ideas as well as the technical-practical implementation possibilities. The presentation—as a sustainable design prototype—consists of 3 core components: a) Installation of a fermentation/distillation machine to process hay (raw material) into ethanol (alternative energy to substitute fossil fuel); b) Satellite data grabber: to obtain data related to agricultural production (weather, climate, seasons); c) Super-Computer: to process data (weather, seasons as well as ethanol production capacity), which is also capable of predicting when Indonesia can reach energy and food independence if this MICRONATION/MACRONATION sustainable project design were to be implemented as a public strategy and policy to achieve the condition of energy and food independence in Indonesia.

PANEL
On Indonesian contemporary art
Featuring S. Teddy D., Tony Godfrey and Paul Khoo
Friday, 30 March 2012, 12:30pm

***

REPOSITION: Art Merdeka! is a solo presentation by S. Teddy D., a prominent Indonesian artist who has been living and working in Yogyakarta over the past 15 years. Teddy has created a large body of work across many mediums, including drawings, installations and performance art. This exhibition features twenty-two works, predominantly in the medium of sculpture, produced between 1998 and 2011.

***

S. Teddy D. was born in Padang, Indonesia in 1970, and studied painting at the Institut Seni Indonesia (Indonesian Institute of Art) in Yogyakarta. He is one of a number of young Indonesian artists who have come to prominence in the fifteen years since the fall of President Soeharto’s New Order regime in 1998. He has participated in the Jogja Biennale in 1993, 2003 and 2007 and held residencies at Australian National University in 2011 and Ludwig Art Forum in Germany in 2000. His major installation Love Tank (The Temple) was exhibited at the National Museum of Singapore in 2009. He has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Asia and Europe and received extensive critical reviews of his work. Teddy works in a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, drawing, assemblage, performance and installation. Teddy has been involved in a number of arts projects based in communities in his hometown of Yogyakarta, where he lives and works.

HERE AND THERE, NOW AND THEN

This is an exhibition of prints, half made this last year, the other half over a century ago. Half were made in Indonesia, the other half in Europe. Those made in Jogja have been printed and editioned by Grafis Minggiran at Langgeng Art Foundation.

I was interested in seeing how artists responded to the collection of old master prints I own, and interested in seeing how they looked placed next to each other at the end of the project. Do we speak the same language? Can we talk to art from the past and from another continent? Do the works from the past talk to us? Artists were invited to choose works from my collection for display in this exhibition. Some chose, and if they didn’t I chose works that seemed to relate to theirs. The selection of old prints also acts as a brief introduction to printmaking in Europe before 1900.

I know there is not a big market for prints in Indonesia —or Southeast Asia generally. This is an attempt to make collectors in the region more aware of the medium —and the skill and inventiveness of the artists who make prints in Jogja. It is hopefully also a way of showing people outside Indonesia the range of work being made here.

This portfolio of twenty-five prints is a fund raiser for artist’s projects and artist’s residencies at Langgeng Art Foundation. All money from sale of the prints will be used only for those purposes.

“How does a photographer describe and feel about a culture or a society in which he lives, but that perceives him as alien?” Based on this question, the curator and Asia photographer Wolfgang Bellwinkel has selected works of nine Western photographers who have one thing in common: they live and work in Asia.

The particularity of this exhibition is mainly the individual search for subjects, as well as the subjective path of realization. The intention to avoid stereotyping Asia is being reflected in the wide spectrum of the nine different positions which vary from a reserved perception or a photojournalistic reportage to conceptual approaches to rather associative-poetic narrations. Certainly, in the center of the exhibition there is the relationship of the human being with its rapid expanding urban surroundings. Nevertheless, the main question is whether the photographers cross the threshold between the foreign and familiar world as they perceive themselves as familiar with Asia, even though they are still perceived as foreigners.

Censorship in the visual arts in Indonesia after 1998: paradoxes of a practice in a changing media landscape

PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
Panelists: Agung Kurniawan, Raihul Fadjri, Antariksa
Introduction and moderation: Katerina Valdivia Bruch
Friday, 17th February 2012
07:00 P.M

***

Panelists:

Antariksa – cultural researcher, KUNCI Cultural Studies Center, iCAN (Indonesian Contemporary Art Network)
Agung Kurniawan – artist, Artistic Director of Kedai Kebun Forum
Raihul Fadjri – journalist, TEMPO

Introduction and moderation: Katerina Valdivia Bruch – independent curator, Berlin (Germany)

As we know, internet and social media have been used in the last years for political movements, such as the revolutionary wave of civil demonstrations in the Arab World, known as the Arab Spring or the mass demonstrations of Occupy Wall Street that started in New York last year. In fact, freedom of expression should be a common consensus in arts and media practices.

After Suharto’s demise, the government weakened its banning mechanisms on arts practices. Since then, there has been a shift from a state-ruled control to a blurred practice organised by some radical groups, but also by individuals giving definitions on morality and public behaviour. Additionally, after passing the anti pornography bill in 2008, the arts scene has been affected by conservative movements that are against the pluralism and diversity of cultural expressions in the world’s biggest archipelago. In this environment, media plays a major role in the audience reception of censorship matters.

The discussion will address some censorship cases in Indonesian visual arts in the Reformasi Era and reflect on current censorship (and self-censorship) practices in a changing media landscape full of contradictions.

Four different perspectives on the same topic will open a discussion with the audience. The public is invited to join the talk and participate in the discussion.

The discussion is organised by Katerina Valdivia Bruch as part of her residency at Langgeng Art Foundation. Curatorial Residency supported by the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations (IfA).

JANEFO is a series of our biannual exhibition. It is an acronym for Jogja New Emerging Forces, and also wordplay from GANEFO (The Games of the New Emerging Forces), which was founded by Ir. Sukarno, Indonesia’s first president who happened to be an art lover. Basically, JANEFO is group show of young artists presenting new challenging ideas. For the first batch of this platform, we invited six participants (both individuals and groups) based on their particular practice upon a specific practice/medium; sound and music, video, graphic design, toys and games, public art and online activism.

They are: Andrew Lumban Gaol (b. 1986, street artist, the founder and only member of Anti-Tank Project); Ishari Sahida ‘Ari Wulu’  (b. 1979, musician, founder of one of the earliest electronic music community in Yogyakarta, Soundboutiqe, and also the inherited of Yogyakarta Gamelan Music Festival which was founded by his father Sapto Rahardjo); Harwan ‘Achong’ Panuju (b. 1976, videomaker, one of the leading members of X-Code, a video community and production house); Indieguerillas (formed in 1999, consists of Santi Ariestyowanti, b. 1977, and Miko ‘Otom’ Bawono, b. 1975, visual artist duo that is known for their urban design approach throughout their contemporary works); TheDeoMixBlood (formed in 2009, consists of R. Bonar Diat S. P. ‘Otong’, b. 1980, and Fahla F. Lotan ‘Dilla’, b. 1990, visual artist duo making robotic characters); Pamityang2an (formed in 2010, consists of more than 15 active members with different professions, launched themselves for the first time as a QWERTY radio that broadcasts through Twitter ID @pamityang2an and can be heard from all mobile devices and gadgets connected to the Internet).

Each and every one of the abovementioned artists is challenged to initiate a new project with one starting point: A closer look into the development of media and information technology in relation to bodily experience and it’s use in our society. After series of intensive discussions, be it in a forum of all the participants or separately between the artists and us, one issue came up vaguely: Sharing.

Since 2000, Reinaart has been actively involved as a part of ruangrupa’s dynamic growth. Currently, Reinaart is one of the lectures at Willem de Kooning Academy. For this OK VIDEO, Reinnart made UNDERDEVELOPED; a video show and installation that identifies images that keep experiencing change and is always a part of our daily, yet complex, visual experience.

Vincent Moon (b. Paris, 1979) is an independent filmmaker mainly known for his field work music videos of indie rock related musicians as well as some notable artists like Beirut (Cheap Magic Inside), Tom Jones, R.E.M. and Arcade Fire. Besides making music videos he also makes experimental films and documentaries. His 2009 film, La Faute Des Fleurs about Japanese singer Kazuki Tomokawa won the Sound & Vision Award at the film’s world premiere at CPH:DOX – the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival – in November 2009. He has been living on the road since January 2009, experimenting on nomadic cinema and traveling to film rare musicians around the world. He now works alone or with people he finds on the road, and most of the time without money involved in the projects, trying to redefine the limits of cinema in the 21st century. In 2011 he will begin work on his new collection of recordings, Petites Planetes, dedicated to experimentation between images and sounds, shot around the world.

Anybody can come, ask, talk, discuss and view Vincent’s films which will be presented in LAF’s Meeting Room.
