BARU, BARU.

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!

Long exposure

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’.

RUANG ELOK SARAT TEMPO

‘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
