Pencuri teriak “Pencuri!” Sama persis seperti seniman kolase. Suka mencuri gambar atau visual yang bertebaran di berbagai medium yang ditemuinya setiap hari. Seringkali tak peduli milik siapa gambar atau visual itu tadi, toh nantinya juga akan menjadi karya baru lagi. Inilah salah satu ide yang ingin disampaikan lewat pameran bersama Resatio dan Karin Josephine ini saat memilih Si Kancil untuk menjadi tema pameran bersama mereka. “Si Kancil anak nakal, suka mencuri ketimun…” — Lirik dari lagu Si Kancil Anak Nakal
Tentunya bukan hanya ide itu saja yang ingin disampaikan oleh masing-masing seniman kolase yang gayanya jauh berbeda ini. Resatio akan menceritakan kembali beberapa cerita tentang Si Kancil dalam tehnik presentasi kolase yang belum pernah dilakukan olehnya sebelumnya. Selain itu, apabila selama ini Anda belum pernah
mendengar cerita kecerdikan Si Kancil lainnya selain dia mencuri ketimun, Resatio akan mendongengkan cerita-cerita lainnya lewat karya-karyanya ini. Setelah melihat dongeng Si Kancil versi Resatio, Anda akan diajak oleh Karin untuk melihat sisi lain kehidupan seekor Kancil. Lebih tepatnya, sisi lain kehidupan seekor Kancil apabila dihubungkan dengan momenmomen kehidupan seorang Karin Josephine. Tidak cukup hanya disitu, kedua seniman ini juga akan saling merespon dalam tehnik presentasi karyanya dengan harapan ada interaksi yang akan terjadi antara mata Anda dan karya mereka. Jadi, selain Si Kancil yang dicuri habis-habisan karakter dan kehidupannya, bisa jadi Anda pun ikut tercuri perhatiannya oleh karya-karya Resatio dan Karin Josephine di pameran ini.

Stealing From a Thief
“That naughty boy Kancil, he’s good at stealing cucumbers…” — Lyric from Kancil The Naughty Boy song
And so do collage artists. They steal all kind of pictures or visuals from different mediums scattered around them everyday. They never bothered to ask for permission since they will turn those visuals into a new one anyway. This interesting fact is one of the reasons why we choose Kancil as the main theme of this group show by Resatio and Karin Josephine. The small yet cunning figure, Si Kancil (mouse deer), is a popular children fable in Malay and Javanese culture in Indonesia. As the protagonist of the story, Kancil is a smart and sly character that can fool another animals to escape from troubles. This character is similar to the American figure Br’er Rabbit. On this exhibition, Resatio is retelling some of Si Kancil stories in a collage presentation, a method he never explored before.
These are Resatio’s imagined side stories depicted in his dark yet beautiful collage. Karin Josephine, on the other hand, with her own style of collage will show you the other side of Si Kancil’s character. Karin will show you moments in the life of Si Kancil as it relates to her own moments in life. This is Resatio and Karin stealing from Si Kancil’s character, and in so doing, they wish to also ‘steal’ your attention. From one collage artist to another, I certainly wish them all the best.

Hilir Mudik Mixed Media Variable Dimensions 2014 Karin Josephine
Dia bukan saja (ternyata) tidak makan ketimun tapi juga dunianya tidak hanya selebar tutur lagu yang selalu kita dengar. Ada yang mau ikut menjelajah bersamanya? Apparently, cucumber isn’t on his diet and his world isn’t just like what we heard in our local tunes. Anyone wants to take a walk with him?

Selain mencuri ketimun, si Kancil pun mencuri gambar-gambar dan ia pun bermain-main dengannya. Bermain-main dengan keacakan. Besides stealing cucumber, si Kancil was stealing images and was playing around with it. Play around with randomness.
