Gumilar Ganjar

Gumilar Ganjar (b. 1990) is an independent curator based in Bandung, Indonesia who is actively exploring the possibilities of approaching curatorial practice through various methods and conceptual frameworks. For him, the exhibition is a platform of inquiries that offers the potential of extracting and distributing, also providing a critical lens in approaching knowledge production rather than mere 'descriptive' sites of artwork presentation. His interests are currently revolving around post-representational art and contemporary formalism, an awareness he acquired after his former interest in exhibition histories and curatorial studies during his formative years. Ganjar acquired his master's degree from Institut Teknologi Bandung in 2018 with a focus on exhibition histories, following his undergraduate study in art history and aesthetics at the same institution. Ganjar has been conducting shows mostly in Indonesia and collaborating with several private galleries and alternative spaces.
