Artemis Art is delighted to present Vice Versa during this very important annual period for Yogyakarta as an influential regional center for visual art.

Comprising some 20 artworks by thirteen young artists from Indonesia and Malaysia, Vice Versa is a survey, providing a glimpse of the rich diversity found in the art practices of young artists from our two neighboring countries.

Indonesia and Malaysia have many commonalities, particularly evident in the areas of culture and language. Not at all surprising, taking into account the fluidity of movement throughout the Nusantara in the many centuries prior to colonization by Western imperial powers.

Although there are commonalities, the respective trajectories each nation has taken post-independence have been quite distinct, forming what are today two very unique nations.

Similarly, how visual art practice has progressed through the years is quite different when looking at Indonesia and Malaysia, each having experienced evolutionary developments unique from one another.

Although it’s often said that art is a universal language, a slightly more granular view is that this universal language is often spoken in many different dialects, depending on the locale from where the artworks and artists originate.

It is this inter-dialect conversation that forms the basis on which Vice Versa approaches the coming together of these thirteen young artists.

The underlying concerns may sometimes be the same, but how it is conveyed slightly differs depending on the visual dialect “spoken”.

Artemis Art’s ardent hope is that this exhibition will be the first of many such visual dialectic exchanges between young artists from our two nations. It will be entirely up to the young artists themselves how they benefit from such visual exchanges, but what’s important is that they be given a platform.

And so, without further “conversations” begin…

Artemis Art amat senang diberi peluang mempersembahkan Vice Versa pada periode tahunan yang amat penting bagi Yogyakarta sebagai pusat seni visual serantau yang amat berpengaruh.

Terdiri sekitar 20 karya seni oleh tiga belas seniman muda dari Indonesia dan Malaysia, Vice Versa adalah sebuah survei, memberikan sekilas kepelbagaian yang ditemukan dalam praktek seni seniman muda dari dua negara tetangga kita.

Sesungguhnya Indonesia dan Malaysia memiliki banyak kesamaan, terutama jelas di bidang budaya dan bahasa. Tidak mengherankan, jika mempertimbangkan fluiditas gerakan di seluruh Nusantara berabad-abad sebelum periode kolonisasi oleh kekuatan imperialis Barat.

Meskipun ada kesamaan, lintasan kenegaraan yang diambil pasca-kemerdekaan telah cukup berbeda, membentuk jelas apa yang saat ini adalah dua negara yang amat unik.

Demikian juga bagaimana praktek seni rupa telah berkembang selama bertahun-tahun ini dengan cara yang berbeda di Indonesia dan Malaysia, masing-masing mengalami perkembangan evolusi yang unik dari satu sama lain.

Meskipun sering dikatakan bahwa seni adalah bahasa universal, pandangan yang sedikit lebih rinci adalah bahwa bahasa universal ini sering menggunakan dialek yang berbeda, tergantung pada lokal dari mana karya-karya seni dan seniman berasal.

Justeru “perbincangan” antar-dialek ini lah yang membentuk dasar Vice Versa mendekati pengumpulan tiga belas seniman muda ini.

Keprihatian yang menjadi dasar estetika karya kadang-kadangnya sama, tapi bagaimana ia disampaikan sedikit berbeda tergantung pada dialek visual “yang dibahaskan”.

Adalah menjadi harapan tulus Artemis Art bahwa pameran ini menjadi yang pertama dari banyak pertukaran dialektika visual antara seniman muda dari kedua negara kita.

Bagaimana seniman muda mendapatkan keuntungan sepenuhnya dari pertukaran visual seperti ini tergantung pada diri mereka sendiri, namun apa yang penting adalah bahwa mereka diberi platform.

Dengan demikian, tanpa basa basi, biarlah “perbincangan” ini dimulakan…
