"W.A.R." a solo show of S Teddy Darmawan at ARK Gallery,  Jakarta

31 October 2009

After finishing his big project for the Singapore National Museum, Teddy felt an urge to highlight the issue of war. He wants to give the world a shout, that war is already enough, for whatever reasons claimed to be. Nations and politicians wage war with furnished justified reasons, but how could people relate righteousness to war when war has been stealing the very first right of each human being: a life?

Nasirun's solo exhibition, "Salam Bekti", at Sangkring Art Space, Indonesia

28 September - 12 October, 2009

Nasirun's solo exhibition, "Salam Bekti", is held at Sangkring Art Space,Yogyakarta, Indonesia from 28 September till 12 October 2009. It is an amazing exhibition in a truly unique space belonging to another Indonesian artist represented by Sin Sin, Putu Sutawijaya.

"SALAM BEKTI" is a spiritual and traditional reading of deep longing, identity philosophy and totemic relationships.

Nasirun believes that if heaven leaked, the leakings transformed into drippings that subsequesntly turned into Indonesia. He said that, like a metaphor, a surprising statement breaks negative opinions all around, yet, honesty opens the door of courage to a dream. One could interpret Nasirun's vision as a sources of his values and creativity.
