Gambar Immar hadir, ada, nyata. Ia bukan tiruan, salinan, atau bayangan dari kenyataan. Ia tidak mewakili apa-apa. Pada bidang gambar Immar, kita akan mendapati kenyataan si gambar itu sendiri. Bagaimana ia terjadi, bagaimana ia bergerak, mana serta apa saja yang bertumpuk, berlapis, bergulat di atas bidang datar itu.
BARU, BARU., a group exhibition with works dating from 1981-2023 that were made by way of a long and meandering search, entanglements between ones’ curiosities and concerns, and questions about the possibilities and reach of art, artworks, and the role of art workers as citizens, as part of societies, and within humanity. BARU, BARU. is also haunted by questions of class, political insight, the systematic numbing of intellectuals, and a list of other anxieties that is carried the condemnation: ‘History repeats itself. First as tragedy, then as farce.’
BARU, BARU. will also be showing in other cities. Please wait for our updates!
Yuli menggunakan tubuh dan tangannya sebagai alat rekam dengan matahari sebagai sumber cahaya. Objek yang direkamnya semata alat bantu, sebab, sesungguhnya ia sedang merekam saat—bisa juga disebut ‘momen’.
‘A space for a temporary stop on a journey of memory around listening and being listened to. It is like a space that shares its corners for the circulation of air, sound, and voice. Sounds are organised for listening and being listened to as part of everyday life. A kind of harmonising space between the moving and the still.
Daily life is used as a way to understand a world full of intersections. Each intersection produces sound, sound is recognised until it becomes voice.’
-Julian Abraham ‘Togar’
“All senses, including vision, are extensions of the tactile sense; the senses are specialisations of skin tissue, and all sensory experiences are modes of touching and thus related to tactility. Touch is sensory mode that integrates our experience of the world with that ourselves.” – Juhani Pallasma, 2008
Menangkap apa-apa, dimana-mana, dan sebagaimana adanya
Why dream? What’s the point of morning? Why do we have to sleep? Why do children have to be wooed to sleep in a melodious tone? How long should we sleep? Where do we sleep? Who do we sleep with? Is this allure to sleep a metaphor? For what, for whom?
Only by realizing, acknowledging and respecting the differences of these races and accepting that racism does exist, can we start to build an inclusive society that protects differences -Bibiana Lee
