DJ Claudia LUV’S Bar & Dine | fri 22 july Sounds Like House Hails From Colombia
Has Been Claudia Margarita Jaramillo began her career as a model at the ripe and tender age of twelve.

Devildice:
Army of the Black Rose
D
evildice, a group of musicians from Bali masterminded by JRX, the drummer of Superman Is Dead, have come back with their second album. While their first album, In The Arms of the Angels (2004), was self-produced, this latest one, Army of the Black Rose (June 2011), was put together through Sony Music Indonesia. Over 11 songs, JRX, the main songwriter, talks mostly about nihilism, life and love, pain and rain. They also invite some guest stars to participate.
beatmag.com 042
Sari Nymphea performs a duet with JRX on the Johnny Cash/June Carter-inspired song, “Diamonds are Forever,” backed up by Leo and Kappe Sinatra on guitar and contrabass. Hendra Fish (Telephone) also plays guitar on “Palace of My Own Disgrace.” Familiarize yourself with this rock-n-roll punk quintet by checking them out first on their MySpace and Facebook page. Dig their old gangster movie and kustom kulture image and go ahead and buy the album!

Devildice:
Army of the Black Rose Setelah pada 2004 merilis album perdana secara swadaya, In the Arms of the Angels, butuh waktu hingga tujuh tahun bagi Devildice untuk muncul lagi lewat ke publik dan melahirkan Army of the Black Rose. Devildice? Well, bisa jadi cuma segelintir yang ngeh siapa—atau apa—Devildice. Namun ketika menyebut JRX, the Rock-n-Roll Prince Charming, pasti langsung sumringah dan mengaku akrab, kenal, tahu. Ya, Devildice adalah projek lain dari si penggebuk drum Superman Is Dead. JRX yang juga bertindak sebagai penulis lagu di SID merasa sebagian tembang moody yang diciptakannya tak pas masuk ke karakter trio punk rock tersebut. Sudah begitu, ia lalu mendirikan Culture On Fire pada 1997—dan berevolusi menjadi Devildice pada 2002—untuk mengekspresikan “kisah tak sampai”nya. Di kuintet yang dibentuknya bersama Kuzz (bas) serta kini disokong Cash (gitar), T.R. (drum) serta Mr. F (trumpet), JRX mengerjakan banyak hal: ya sebagai motor kelompok, ya penulis lagu, ya biduan, ya gitaris. Pula, menurut pengakuan pribadinya, dalam berkesenian, Devildice pekat dipengaruhi oleh film-film gangster masa lalu, kustom kulture dan eksotisme khas punk tropikal. Jika sebelumnya merilis album melalui jalur indie maka di rangkaian komposisi yang kedua ini Devildice bekerjasama dengan Sony Music Indonesia yang notabene merupakan rumah dimana SID bermukim. Resmi terbit tanggal 9 Juni 2011, Army of the Black Rose terdiri dari sebelas tembang yang
bicara nihilisme, bidadari, cinta, hujan, kehidupan dan kesepian. “(The Godfather) Army of the Black Rose”, sebagai senandung pembuka berceletoh melalui kacamata kaum nihilis soal dunia nan haus darah, rakus, dan kebenaran cuma manipulasi teori kebencian; dan mereka kesepian. “Land of No Angels” mengusung tentang harapan bagi para remaja broken home agar selalu ingat bahwa cinta ada di mana saja serta belajar memaafkan krusial adanya. Sementara “Never a Saint” dan “Rock & Roll City” adalah lagu bikinan era silam menyoroti sosok manusia yang liar, panas, penuh kejutan, plus paradoksal dari persona malaikat. Pada “Diamonds are Forever” dan “Palace of My Own Disgrace” kontingen musisi asal Kuta ini mengajakserta bintang tamu. Di kreasi yang disebut pertama hadir Sari Nymphea pada vokal, Leo dan Kappe Sinatra pada gitar serta kontra bas. Duet JRX & Sari di sini terilhami dari padu padan Johnny Cash & June Carter, bertutur tentang tak bertemunya dua perasaan yang abadi. Di kreasi kedua Hendra Fish (Telephone) berpartisipasi di departmen gitar. Di sini JRX menyodorkan isu penemuan identitas dan kesadaran baru yang dipahat oleh derasnya hujan dan sambaran petir masa lalu. Untuk menyimak tembang Devildice selengkapnya, silakan datangi toko kaset/cakram digital terdekat. Ikuti pula terus perkembangan mereka lewat halaman Facebook dan MySpace-nya, cukup dengan mengetik “Devildice”. Photo by Fabio Lorenzo dan Ade Adinata.

To Plan
is Smart!
Y
oung people need to a establish a sense of financial responsibility while they’re still productive. Don’t think your financial future is decades away. Taking simple steps early in your career can significantly improve your resources and quality of life in the future. For now, a little bit of financial advice won’t hurt.
Retirement Planning
When you hear the word ‘retirement,’ what do you think? If you’re thinking of setting aside some cash every now and then, or even better, every month, in order to get to retirement safely, then you’re on the right track. While it may seem like something that you don’t need to worry about right now, it’s actually very important to start planning for retirement well in advance. By getting used to saving, you will establish a good habit that can continue over the length of your working life.
Start an Emergency Fund
In life, you should expect the unexpected. Other than saving up for retirement, it’s best to routinely save a little money in an emergency fund. Financial emergencies can come in the form of job losses, significant medical expenses, home or auto repairs, or something that you never even dreamed of. Having emergency savings can really keep you out of financial trouble and help you sleep better at night.
Know Where Your Money Goes
regular income. Keep an eye on what you’re spending to make sure your expenses don’t outstrip your earnings. Once you see how your morning stop at that coffee place really adds up over the course of a month, you’ll realize that making small, manageable sacrifices in your everyday expenses can have a big impact on your overall financial situation.
Use Credit Cards Responsibly
It’s easy to spend your money by taking out that piece of plastic in your wallet. Don’t give in to temptation by spending on things you can’t afford or don’t need. This can be a quick way to financial ruin, and debts can take years to pay off.
Guard Your Health
The perfect way to a well-insured life is to have health insurance, but if it’s impossible for you to come up with monthly health insurance premiums, take daily steps to keep yourself healthy. Eat your fruits and vegetables, exercise, maintain a healthy weight, don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol excessively, and drive safely. By following these steps, you can maintain good health. Following this advice doesn’t mean you need to cut back on all the fun you’ve been having. You’ll enjoy life more over the years by being financially smart.

Who doesn’t know the Twilite Orchestra? For almost two decades, the Orchestra, under its leader and conductor, Addie MS, has grown from a small ensemble of 20 musicians into a complete and well-respected indonesian orchestra. here At The Beat Jakarta, we’ve done features on upcoming classical concerts from a variety of musicians and performers, but have not yet had the opportunity to write about this influential Orchestra and their upcoming show.
B
ack in January, Twilite Orchestra started their collaboration with Mandiri Sekuritas on a series of concerts. The first of these, performed at Balai Sarbini, was called "Cantabile!" and was based on the soundtrack to a popular Japanese manga series by Tomoko Ninomiya, called Nodame Cantabile. The famous, award-winning series depicts the relationship between two aspiring classical musicians, Megumi "Nodame" Noda and Shinichi Chiaki, both as university students and after graduation. It was followed up by a successful anime TV series, also called Nodame Cantabile, whose soundtrack is loaded with beautiful classical compositions by Rachmaninov, Liszt, Strauss and even Gershwin. The successful homage concert was just the beginning. On July 16th they will hold the sequel to the concert, entitled "Cantabile 2." Renowned and versatile Japanese pianist Dr. Kazuha Nakahara, who performed for the first Cantabile, will return for the follow-up, joined by talented Indonesian musicians including Michelle Siswanto (violin) and Felicitas Nesca Alma (piano). Dr. Nakahara is an award-winning musician who has toured the world, playing solo, in groups and as part of an orchestra. She holds a D.M. degree in piano performance from Indiana University, where she was a recipient of the prestigious Chancellor's
Fellowship. For the coming concert, Dr. Nakahara will bring a Ravel composition to life. The word cantabile is actually a music term meaning "singable" or "songlike" in Italian, and has several meanings in different contexts. In instrumental music, it indicates a particular style of playing that is designed to imitate the human voice. For 18th-century composers, the term is often used synonymously with "cantando" (singing), indicating music involving a measured tempo and flexible, legato playing. For later composers, particularly of piano music, cantabile indicates the drawing out of one particular musical line against its accompaniment. For the upcoming Cantabile 2, Twilite Orchestra has selected some great compositions based on th Nodame Cantabile soundtrack. These include amazing compositions by Glinka, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Ravel and Dvorak. It is also worth mentioning that several young musicians will join the Twilite Orchestra on stage for their latest performance. The selected new talents each passed a rigorous audition process to participate in the concert. The concert is sure to be a classical music event that is not to be missed!

MBAH JINGKRAK
Get a kick out of the serious sambals at this quirky RESTAURANT, and you’ll be jumping up and down just like granny!
M
bah Jingkrak, the name of this Javanese restaurant, actually means ‘jumpingup-and-down-grandma’ in Javanese. Maybe granny is happy about the many patrons enjoying her food, or maybe she’s just reacting to her own fiery sambal (chili sauce)! More on the sambal later. First, let’s take a peek at the place.The first thing you notice is its unusual decor. Every corner, nook and cranny seems to have its own story to tell. For example, there’s a wall full of baseball caps, a corner of miniature train sets, another wall full of local cigarettes (with a sign saying ‘smoke all you want here!’), an extensive collection of kecap bottles from different regions of Indonesia, etc., etc…. And check out their version of MTV, which in this case means ‘Mendoan TV!’ You just gotta check it out yourself to get the full feeling of this eccentric eatery. We suggest beatmag.com 056
Food having your meal al fresco, under the shady trees at the back patio near the pool. When you come into this Semarang-styled restaurant, grab yourself a free small glass or two of jamu (beras kencur or gula asam).They’re full of health benefits. You’ll then see a smorgasbord of food for you to choose from.The friendly staff will heat your choices for you and bring them to your table. The food is mostly Central Javanese, but with a certain kick. Mbah Jingkrak is well known for adding sambal to their dishes. And boy, is it crazy hot! Mbah Jingkrak has about five different types of colorful sambal, with different degrees of spiciness. Their fieriest and most famous is the Sambal Iblis (3k). Don’t let its pretty orange colour fool you. It has serious firepower! The fact that the sambal is named after the devil himself should give you an idea of what you’re in for. But guess what? It’s one of the most popular items here! It probably hurts so good that it keeps the customers coming back for more. We started our meal with the Mendoan (5k), a typical Javanese-style tempe. Even this mild dish was garnished with some small green chilis and a nice dipping sauce of chilied kecap. Next we had some other popular dishes: the scarily named Ayam Rambut Setan (15.5k) and the Ayam Grandong (15.5k). Both are basically fried chicken with different blends of sambal on top. Simple, yet tasty. As for the veggies, we ordered the Oseng Pare Teri (8.2k) and the Oseng Daun Pepaya (8.2k). Both vegetables are known to be a bit bitter in taste, but the chili mixes brought the best out of them. Delicious. There are a lot of cool drinks available to ‘cool down the fire.’ Try the interestingly named Es Buaya Darat (10k), Es Pocong (12.5k), or Es Blepotan (10k). Mbah Jingkrak is an oddball but original restaurant that’s definitely worth a visit, especially if you enjoy having some heat in your dishes. The ambiance is amusing on its own, and the food is devilishly delectable. Ah, now we get what the pool is for!

Cafe Batavia
Back in the Loop
J
akarta’s Cafe Batavia in Kota has recently been taken over by a new team, and is now set to re-live the glory days of years past. The two-story Cafe Batavia was built in 1805 on Taman Fatahillah square, opposite the old Dutch Council Hall (now the Jakarta museum), featuring teak floors, Baroque mirrors, and pictures of celebrities on its walls. In its heyday, the bar was named one of the world’s ten best. Steeped in history, the restaurant is now an icon on the Jakarta tourist map and is visited by thousands of foreign and local tourists every year. TBJ caught up with a member of the new team, Paul Counihan, at a special evening to relaunch the restaurant last week, and got the scoop on what’s happening. “Cafe Batavia has been off the social map over the past few years and we’ve decided to bring it back to its former glory. Many tourists visit here through the day and night so the first thing we did was create what we call a tourist menu. This comprises less expensive items so that more people can come and enjoy the visit to the building without breaking the bank,” said Counihan. The restaurant will also maintain its fine-dining menu for discerning guests. The plan is to also bring life back to the downstairs venue, with live music, namely jazz, through the week, and possibly Top-40 bands on the weekends. “This is a beautiful old building and a part of Jakarta’s heritage. We want to bring it back to those glory days and bring more residents back up to this historic part of town to have a great night out,” Counihan commented. The downstairs bar area has certainly proven itself to be a fantastic venue for jazz and other events, as was made clear by the recent Rejuvenation Party.

The Monsters, The Gang, and The Puppet.
By: @JohanJT Dari ketiga film berikut, kamu akan temukan berbagai macam menu hasil campuran komedi dari yang sambil buat kamu berteriak seram, tertawa ngakak, atau meneteskan air mata. Ikuti petualangan si detektif supernatural yang berburu monster, gabung dengan segerombolan remaja melawan alien, dan coba sembuhkan si pria yang hanya mau ngomong melalui bonekanya. Hanya di www.21cineplex.com dan www.blitzmegaplex. com! These three movies might all involve comedy, but the mix is served up differently in each. Go along with a supernatural detective on a monster hunt, join the gang from the block to teach aliens some lessons, or try to help the man who can only speak through puppets. All are best enjoyed with a bucket of popcorn at www.blitzmegaplex.com and www.21cineplex.com.
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night Comedy, Horror. Director: Kevin Munroe. Writers: Thomas Dean Donnely and Joshua Oppenheimer. Cast: Brandon Routh, Anita Briem, Sam Huntington, Peter Stormare. Dylan Dog (Brandon Routh, Superman Returns) adalah seorang detektif swasta terkenal di dunia yang memspesialisasikan pada pekerjaan yang berhubungan dengan makhluk gaib dan monster. Dylan Dog mempunyai kemampuan mata supernatural yang hebat, selalu perpenampilan khas dengan kaos merah, jaket hitam, celana jeans warna birunya, dan tidak ketinggalan pistol berpeluru perak dengan ujung yang terbuat dari kayu. Dalam satu kasus yang ditanganinya, Dylan harus mencari jejak dari sebuah artifak berbahaya sebelum menyebabkan peperangan antara para vampire, zombie dan manusia serigala ditambah dengan terror para monster di jalanan New Orleans. Karakter Dylan Dog merupakan adaptasi dari serial komik karya Tiziano Scalvi yang diterbitkan oleh rumah penerbit komik terkenal di Italia, Bonelli. Lucunya adalah cerita di serial komik Dylan Dog aslinya dibuat berdasarkan berbagai macam film horror terkenal seperti Living Dead, Shining, dsb. Penasaran bagaimana jadinya cerita yang dibuat berdasarkan berbagai film dibuat menjadi film juga? Sutradara Munroe (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) yang belum terkenal ini memilih untuk memasukkan unsur komedi ke ceritanya, layaknya “Scream”. Tidak banyak yang perlu kamu antisipasi dari film ini, tapi cukup untuk menjadi hiburan di saat senggang. Pilih kostum monster terfavoritmu! Adapted from a popular comic series released by renowned Italian “comic-factory” Bonelli, Dylan Dog is a world famous private investigator specializing in affairs involving the undead. Equipped with his supernatural private eye, a gun with silver- and wood-tipped bullets and his edgy wit, he hunts down the monsters of the Lousiana Bayou. In comparison with the original comic, the film serves up more of a comedy-horror mix. This new flick is a great way to spend your spare time. Dress up as a vampire, werewolf or zombie - your call!
Attack the Block Sci-Fi, Action, Comedy. Writer & Director: Joe Cornish. Cast: Jodie Whittaker, John Boyega, Alex Esmail, Franz Drameh, Leeon Jones, Jangan sedih kalau tidak bisa nonton Super 8-nya J.J. Abrams dan Steven Spielberg di layar lebar kita. Attack the Block punya banyak kemiripan dengannya, plus tingkat kelucuan yang lebih tinggi. Alasan Pertama: Penulis dan Sutradara Joe Cornish sudah terkenal dengan selera humor ala Inggris-nya yang lebih getir dan blak-blakan. Portfolio-nya termasuk
beatmag.com 060
menulis dan menyutradari dokumentasi pembuatan serial konyol Little Britain. Dia juga menulis skenario untuk The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn yang bakal dirilis akhir tahun ini. Alasan Kedua: Produser-nya, Edgar Wright, sudah pernah mengocok perut penonton lewat Hot Fuzz dan Shaun of the Dead. Ide cerita Attack the Block sederhana saja. Segerombolan makhluk luar angkasa menyerang sebuah area di London Selatan, dan sebuah geng yang dipimpin oleh Moses (John Boyega) berjuang melawan mereka. Geng ini terdiri dari “anak-anak kampung” setempat; Ron (Nick Frost) yang adalah seorang pengedar ganja, Brewis (Luke Treadaway) yang pintar tapi selalu “high”, Pest (Alex Esmail) Si Bule yang selalu ngomong gaya kulit hitam, dan lain-lain. Kombinasi karakter yang konyol, dialog yang cerdas, serta aksi yang seru membuat Attack the Block jadi tontonan segar, menghibur, kocak, dan cocok buat dinikmati ramai-ramai. Pantang dilewatkan!
What if the producer of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz collaborated with the writer-director of Little Britain on an alien invasion flick? Add a “United Colors of Benetton” gang of weed-infused losers, and you have a good show of British wit, centering primarily on the slashing of ugly aliens. Never mind J.J. Abrams’ Super 8, join a gang of baked weed dealers, educated stoners, and ghetto-talking whiteys as they fight alien invaders in Attack the Block!
The Beaver Drama, Comedy. Director: Jodie Foster. Writer: Kyle Killen. Cast: Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, Anton Yelchin, Cherry Jones. Walter Black (Mel Gibson, Edge of Darkness) dulunya adalah pengusaha mainan yang sangat sukses, serta seorang kepala keluarga panutan. Kini, ia mengalami depresi yang berkepanjangan yang membuat hidupnya kehilangan arah. Suatu hari ia menemukan sebuah boneka tangan berwujud seekor berang-berang. Lewat boneka itu, ia bisa menemukan cara untuk berkomunikasi dan membangun hubungan lagi dengan orang-orang terdekatnya. Drama dengan sentuhan komedi ini memajang dua nama besar yang menjadi magnet utama penarik penonton. Jodie Foster (Panic Room) sebagai sutradara sekaligus pemain, dan Mel Gibson sebagai Walter Black. Tentunya, kualitas akting menjadi sajian utama The Beaver, dan Gibson berhasil menghadirkan sebuah penampilan yang memukau, bahkan dinilai sebagai yang terbaik sepanjang karirnya. Permasalahan penyakit mental yang dihadirkan terasa begitu nyata dan lengkap dengan berbagai efeknya dalam kehidupan sebuah keluarga. Di tengah keseriusan masalah itu, terdapat momen-momen yang menyentuh, dan juga akan menggelitik hati nurani kita. Boasting Jodie Foster as director and Mel Gibson as lead actor is more than The Beaver’s main selling point. It is its greatest strength. Gibson’s performance here has been deemed his finest by many. He channels Walter Black, a once successful executive and family man who is deeply depressed and turns to a hand puppet as his only means of communication. While dark and heavy, The Beaver also hits comedic notes. A family drama that stands out, The Beaver deals with serious mental issues in a realistic and entertaining manner.

The Colour of the Sea I always love turquoise and aqua, so I was overjoyed to see them included in the Cap Ferrat Trio Eyeshadow Palette from NARS Summer 2011, which allows me to combine two of my favourite colours. I’m definitely a beach person, and this is perfect for those seaside outings. Now all I need is a beach to go to. What I love most about this palette is that the colours are so vivid that just using them to line my eyes changes my whole look. The collection also comes with a coral lipgloss, lipstick pencil and lipstick. Coral and blue tones are the ideal combination for the summer months. A Touch of Metal Nail polish is compulsory. I just can’t get over the look of two new nail polishes, both of which are must-haves. Chanel’s Peridot comes from their fall collection and is simply to die for! Its greengold metallic finish is worth going to any amount of trouble to get. Then there’s NARS Kismet nail polish, which offers the truest yellow gold. Which one will win your heart? Yummy Brown Hair Brown really suits Indonesian skin tones. Matrix has just recently launched their Extra Chocolate hair colour product, for their topselling product Wonder Brown. All the different yummy browns are hard to choose from, but I really want to make mine a rich chocolate cherry. When I’ve coloured my hair in the past, I’ve only gone with very dark brown, because I’m afraid other colours will look too light on me, but I’m open to change. Any special colour that you’re loving this season? Amalia - editor of www.fashionesedaily.com – Style & Beauty with Attitude

Plan a runaway with The Tulisan Bag
A
nice looking travel bag that is well-designed and functional is a hard thing to come by. Most of the time I’m stuck with either cabinsized luggage or another boring black duffel bag. Imagine my excitement when I came across the ‘Runaway Bag‘ from Tulisan. The name is so catchy, it makes you just want to drop what you’re doing, throw everything you need inside and run away from your daily routine. Especially when it comes in such a cute print!
beatmag.com 064
This particular runaway bag is from the ‘Sound of Dawn’ collection and comes at a cost of only Rp 548k, which is very tempting for a travel bag. Its bottom is 21 cm x 55 cm, while its width and height stand at 63 cm x 41 cm, making it a very convenient companion for your weekend getaway. You’ll even have space left over for souvenirs for the folks back home, and for your holiday shopping finds. The bag is made of durable canvas with a clear coating, so you don’t have to worry about it getting ruined. The material makes it really easy to clean, and a wet tissue or slightly damp cloth should do the trick. Amalia - Editor of www.fashionesedaily.com – Style & Beauty with Attitude

These works prioritize contemplative language without overwhelming emotion. Redha Sorana is acutely aware of art’s position as a visual problem, and so focuses on compositions involving lightness and illumination, showing off the brightness of achromatic stimuli. Redha Sorana consciously expresses brilliance without losing charge. Curated by Hardiman. July 7 – 19, 2011 Jakarta Art District, East Mall Grand Indonesian Shopping Town, Jakarta
Discussion on Manga and Otaku Subculture Manga subculture, which became a global phenomenon in the 1990s, is a reflection of the state of the kiwari (contemporary) world, which is increasingly visual. The subculture was born from Japanese visual culture. Although inseparable from the history of western comics and visual arts, manga is unique in its deep integration into socio-cultural life in Japan, one of the most visually aware nations of today. This discussion will explore the Manga subculture and its globalisation, offering perspective on the social, cultural, ethical and visual world in which we live today. Speakers include Hikmat Darmawan (comic writer and researcher) & Farah Wardani (Indonesian Visual Art Archive director). July 20, 2011 7pm Serambi Salihara Jl.

Architecture Exhibition:“Modernitas Tropis”Life and Work of C.P Wolff Schoemaker Charles Prosper Wolff Schoemaker (1882-1949) is the Frank Lloyd Wright of Indonesia. Between 1910 and 1940, he designed numerous buildings in Java, including Villa Isola and Hotel Preanger in Bandung, which are among the absolute highlights of modern architecture in the first half of the twentieth century. Histories of Dutch architecture often pass over the work of Dutch architects in the former Dutch East Indies. Wolff Schoemaker was one of Soekarno’s lecturers and a central architect in Indonesia in the 1920s and 1930s. This exhibition has been organised as part of the book launch for ‘Tropical Modernity: Life and Work of C.P. Wolff Schoemaker’ by Jan van Dullemen.

Interpretations
of everything around us
At
My Space exhibition at Philo Art Space, we deal with spaces through the perspective of the artist’s subjective struggle, often coming to feel represented by, and involved in, the struggle. Interestingly, spaces can appear anywhere, making us strongly aware that we are living in plural space. Plurality presupposes subjective perspectives, in this case with regard to movement, opportunities, and life itself. Pasker brings us into the space where his private life occurs, a room on a crowded street. This kind of space allows us to interact with anyone, whether friend or stranger, for a long or short time, or just take time off to wait for whatever is coming for us. The crowded street is a symbol of everyday urban life. Feri Eka Candra aims for a quiet space, one that is meditative, sterile, a library from which the abstract knowledge of products come. This library speaks of the possibility of space itself, operating through only the barest of compromises with living beings.

Deskhairi’s focus is different, operating in a broader space but concerned with the aspect of human nature that endangers ecosystems. The creation of abstract space enables him to take a position outside the realm of reality, autonomous, controlling and able to destroy even nature itself. Related is the space established by Nyoman Sujana Kenyem, which regards human interaction with nature as hopeful and harmonious, involving joy and the celebration of life. People entering the space still have a direct awareness of treading within a private room where the true energy of life can be found. Sujarwo’s space offers typical representations of urban shapes that sometimes involve quiet solitude and yet remain a part of the crowd. It highlights how introspective occasions can often be part of one’s work to survive. For Dedy Supriadi, space is a line of text that makes itself manifest. There is no vacuum, not even with regard to human beings themselves. Everywhere is text, and each room is filled with its traces. Supriadi asks how we can direct our steps in textual space. Through Erizal’s work, we find the human world seen as a vast expanse of space, involving relationships between the self and other that are affected by mood. Excitement broadens space without limit, while and dancing allows us to enjoy occupying it. Rinaldi dramatically represents the space of the subconscious. Dreams can be read as poetry or prose in a life in which our conscious minds are often unable to accommodate our desires and expectations. Traumatic dreams are seen as indicating that we still need time to realise our goals.
Art arises when individuals are allowed to play around with abstract space and express space through their individual worldviews. Each work of art offers the subjective perspective of the artist as inseparable from the interests and struggles of space.

SAY IT WITH A SIP OF COFFEE
Synonymous with illustration, Kopi Keliling is a collaborative project that involves a host of cross-disciplinary artists. The theme of coffee was chosen for its proximity to everyday life. Coffee undergoes a long process to end up in our cups. Before becoming a liquid, it is a dry powder, and before that, dark seeds. The seeds are borne in rich red fruit. The love of the fruit comes to bear in harvest, when the farmer bares the seed from the fruit, its caffeine giving it passion, vitality, romance and life. Today, coffee shops have proliferated in Jakarta, becoming part of the city lifestyle. The illustrations that play a part in this project are similarly easy to access. “The Coffee-Meter” by Ario Anindito and “Kaleidoskopi” by Maharanie Diela, for example, interpret the everyday effects of coffee.

bali Scoop A Modern Khaima Returns Khaima restaurant on Jalan Laksmana/Oberoi was closed for renovations for the past few months but bounded back to life last week, bringing a new, modern taste and style to Bali’s famed ‘Eat Street.’ The urban, contemporary design by Japanese designer Nobuyuki Narabayashi, previously of Super Potato fame and now Design 9, has melded modern Islamic details and natural tones into the new-look Moroccan restaurant. The menu is still more or less the same as the previous offering, which has made Khaima many fans over the past decade. As the dust settles, chef Nora and partner Driss will be bringing new dishes to the list and table but for now they are happy concentrating on getting everything right. Another cool addition at the new restaurant is a full bar near the entrance, shaking up a range of new cocktails and offering a pleasant spot for a pre- or post-dinner drink. The Shisha hookah pipes are still available and are ideally enjoyed in the rear lounge area.
Hands for Our Children The Bali Tourism Media Association, Himpunan Humas Perhotelan Bali (Hotel PR association) and Komunitas Insan Peduli (Social Care Community) are joining hands for children with cancer, in an event called ‘Hands for Our Children’, a charity bazaar that will benefit children with cancer. The event will be held on Saturday, 30 July 2011 at Istana Kuta Galleria. The group is inviting more hands to join in supporting Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia (Indonesian Care for Cancer Kids Foundation).
Billabong Pro 2011 Announced Billabong is stoked to announce that the highly anticipated Billabong Pro Junior 2011 will be hosted at Nusa Lembongan’s legendary Shipwreck break. Billabong Asia’s brand manager, Peter Thew, stated they are pumped to take the competition over to Nusa Lembongan. Shipwreck’s boasts a reliable, powerful right-hander that breaks just off a coral reef that has formed over the historical remains of a shipwreck, about a 300-metre paddle from the beach. Billabong rider and Nusa Lembongan local Agus Firmanto has high hopes for winning on his home turf, and is stoked that the Billabong Pro Junior has chosen the wave as its location. The Billabong Pro Junior will be held over a seven-day waiting period from the 25th until the 31st of July.

Corner
Early in the evening, just about supper time, down on the corner, out in the street, 66 Corner is a great new spot to get your hunger fix if you’re around the Double Six, seminyak area. amazing how fast some things can get done around here sometimes. I’m sitting at a restaurant on Double Six Street that was a building site last week. However, you’d never know it - the revamped and refurb’d 66 corner doesn’t look a bit out of place and already has a cozy ‘established’ feel to it, right down to the colourful cushions and relaxed informal atmosphere. It’s already busy too. Located on busy Double Six street, it’s a haven for walk in diners and those needing a cold Bintang after a hot day at the beach. beatmag.com 084
