Venue: Wing Gallery and Gallery B

Wiyoga Muhardanto's solo exhibition, Window Display, is inspired by our daily life—in particular, by the experience of wandering around shopping malls or department stores. Most of Muhardanto's works have been produced through a careful study of the appearances of three-dimensional objects, their colors, shapes, volume, and texture. This is not merely because he was trained formally in sculpture, it is also due to his tendency to seek out the symbolic qualities of the everyday objects that surround us: bags, cars, motorbikes, wallets, and so on. Through his works he subverts the appearance and signs of mass produced, everyday objects and makes unpredictable and clever associations and statements. For the last four years, Wiyoga's works have shown his ability as a young artist, not only in deconstructing and subverting signs and symbols, but also conveying criticism in a sharp, humourous and compelling way. This exhibition marks his solo debut.
