EXHIBITION CURATORIAL
What is Art Today, and Tomorrow?
This
exhibition aims to showcase a profile of art forms and motifs that
Selasar Sunaryo Art Space has ‘followed’ through the works of artists
who have engaged with variety of its programs in the last 10 years. All
the artists invited in this exhibition were asked to make a statement
or definition of the ‘art’ they believe. The statement is not to
conclude a sole or definitive understanding, but rather to take art
practice to a deeper comprehension so that its developments can be
identified as the reflection of a particular zeitgeist.
Visual
and aesthetic vocabulary exploration is still important—yet not the
most dominant—for most artists in this exhibition. Most works also
depict various points of view and artistic execution that still depend
on medium and material specialization. Representation of socio-cultural
problems appears as a strongest motive. From probing the artists’ works
and statements, art in the context of this exhibition is identical to
the search of self and reality.
This
exhibition takes into account that amid the ever-developing art
discourses and practices, it is important that artists are not only
driven by the current stream. Artists must also be able to play a role
in guiding and taking perspective on Indonesian art in the future. In
order to realize this, indeed, artists cannot work alone. Synergy among
elements of the art world and the will to keep enhancing the view and
understanding of art practice are no less important. For ten years,
SSAS has been present amid Indonesian unique art realm and holding on
to its long-standing dreams; SSAS will always hope for a dynamic world
of creation and thoughts, freedom of expression and getting
information, in a healthy and sustainable art world. Agung Hujatnikajennong and Albert Y. Setyawan
