Summary: | Advancements in the distribution of information, and its availability, have <br />
<br />
rendered our experience of the everyday increasingly imaginary. Within its <br />
<br />
breadth, a new subjectivity is generated along with a continued discourse of the <br />
<br />
self. The construct of the self-narrative in an always reiterating world of <br />
<br />
references have affected emerging artists of the mid 2010s, who are brought up in <br />
<br />
the information age. <br />
<br />
Through 8 artists, the project tries to put a frame on how the fragments of the selfnarrative <br />
<br />
exists through imaginary properties in collecting and appropriating <br />
<br />
image. How is its dissemination? How can the notion of the subject be defined <br />
<br />
within artists' collection of images? And how can it be represented as a <br />
<br />
collaborative project on mapping its manifestations? <br />
<br />
This project frames the whole of exhibition as artistic medium, with artists and <br />
<br />
curator working closely in generating ideas and contributing equally to exhibition <br />
<br />
form. Installation of the exhibition is done in Studio Batur, an emerging <br />
<br />
alternative space. The project works with 8 emerging artists, all based and <br />
<br />
working in Bandung. Curatorial dialog of the exhibition puts image and signs to <br />
<br />
the fore, as manifests of themes. Discussions are generated through a collective <br />
<br />
process of accumulating and collecting images and texts from the everyday, as a <br />
<br />
process of meandering between hoard of exposures, references, and preferences. <br />
<br />
Presentation of the exhibition installs both individual works and hoard of objects; <br />
<br />
which corresponds with saturated images and overexposure of the everyday. It is <br />
<br />
put forward as a subversive notion on the saturation itself; in existing within a <br />
<br />
gap, distorted, fragmented, and imagined in multiplicities. The exhibition is <br />
<br />
accompanied by exhibition texts that are handed out to the audience, in form of <br />
<br />
index cards. The cards contain annotations, fragment of ideas of the works and the <br />
<br />
theme, quotes, sketches, which mirrors exhibition and artistic statements. The <br />
<br />
cards act as guides for the audience, to put them in a reader-in-text scenario. |
