*******
RUBANAH (abbreviated version of ruang bawah tanah, lit.: basement) is located in the basement of a building in the center of Jakarta’s hubbub. This space accommodates various art activities, especially exhibition or presentation of artwork. RUBANAH is a meeting space for sharing information and knowledge, a shared learning space for artists, curators, researchers or writers, or anyone interested in deepening and enriching the experience and knowledge of contemporary art.
RUBANAH + PROJECTBY9 is open to all possible cooperation with an emphasis on the dialogue process that can enrich the artistic and thematic ideas that lead to exhibitions, presentations, art discussions.
ABOUT PROJECTBY9
At the end of 2015, in collaboration with hyphen (hyphen.web.id), Enin Supriyanto published a collection of art essays he wrote during the period 1994-2015. At the book launching event, Enin declared his retirement from curatorial work. He wanted to produce (or co-produce) art events on a self-managed and self-help basis under the name: PROJECTBY9.
PROJECTBY9 is an effort to hold art activities in small scale, simple and collaborative. It presupposes itself as a cooperative space for artists, curators, researchers in the field of fine arts, and others. Since Enin’s retirement has held several solo exhibitions, such as: Jabbar Muhammad “Portrait of Parallax” (curator: Hendro Wiyanto, iCAN, Jogja, 2016); Widi Pangestu “Everything in Between” (curator: Ignatia Nilu, iCAN, Jogja, 2017), comic book launch and exhibition by R.E. Hartanto “Tales From The Lonely Hill” (Krack! Gallery, Yogyakarta, 2018).
To be able to design and manage the possibilities of more contemporary and exciting contemporary art collaborations, PROJECTBY9 now hosts a wide range of art events in RUBANAH starting from September 2018.
