Now, becoming an artist is no longer have the question of a beauty. Nor criticize or just a cultural observer with a position that is above society. Because art, is no longer enough to do a critique of political behavior, cultural life of the community, the collapse of social morality. Society has now face to face with a television drama that is always present difficulties of life to silence their lives. Performative actions are no longer enough to surprise the public, because now in action initiatives have now become public property. We see how performative people commit suicide by crashing into electric trains.


Installation art is now as good as buildings belonging to semi-permanent living homeless and living under the bridge. Art is now supposed to be part of the society, without any attempt to distinguish itself as a form of the idea of ‘valuable’ difficult to understand. The idea presented in the exhibition are now no longer borrow some abstract form of a la Plato’s idea but takes the form existing in the society

2014 | Kesedihan (Solo Exhibition), Ruru Gallery, Jakarta

The theme of “Kesedihan” (Sadness) raised in this exhibition originated from a conversation between Cut and Rescue with the curator of the exhibition, Iswanto Hartono. They talked of memories derived from products of popular culture past and its comparison with the entertainment industry today. There is a continuity that is always present in our mass culture production, which the entertainment industry, pop culture and national mass media continues to produce ‘sadness’ as a commodity which is presented to an urban society. Sadness, also misery, present in various forms as the main condiment popular culture products to be ‘fine dining’ favorite city residents. Seasoning “sadness” can be found in the melancholy drama movies, romance novels a la Mira W to hack writer, pop songs breakup until dangdut song lamenting the fate. Television programs ranging from crime news, reality shows, soap opera melodrama that never ended, celebrity gossip, until the call of religion all contribute to show sadness. Ironically, the sad story has become its own recipe for the success of the products of popular culture and entertainment program, which was produced continuously for urban consumption.
