Scoop Starbucks Coffee Ambasador 2011 Starbucks annual Coffee Ambassador has once again been crowned. The Coffee Ambassador Cup is a yearly event held by Starbucks Indonesia as it searches for the perfect barista that has the passion and desire to continue to improve their coffee making abilities. A total of 150 coffee masters ran the gauntlet and last September, 25 of the coffee masters were selected to become District Coffee Masters (DCM). From the DCM selection only 14 made it through to the finals going against two of last year’s DCM finalists. After a long night of answering questions and grinding and brewing coffee, in the end the Starbucks Coffee Ambassador was awarded to Yandi Maranto from Starbucks Cihampelas Walk Bandung and Ajeng Rindang from Starbucks Area 51 Pondok Indah. The two have rightfully won the honour to wear the special brown Coffee Ambassador apron and a trip to one of Starbucks coffee plantations.

DJ Nash
LUV’s Bar & Dine | fri 11 nov | 10 pm Sound Like Underground, Progressive, Trance
Have Been DJ Bobby’s footsteps to DJ stardom began as a DJ instructor in Bandung. In the 90’s he moved away from his home town to the capital city, where his former students aided him in starting his musical career, helping him get gigs at clubs such as Manhattan, Atlanta, Ebony and M Club. Bobby now resides as one of Stadium’s head resident DJs, where he is highly prized by Stadium’s loyal following. Like Bobby, DJ Nash’s musical career also started academically - he was actually a music director for a modeling agency. His experience in combining tunes led him to learn the basic skills needed to become a DJ. He went on to improve his mixing abilities and spread his mastery of Progressive and Trance tunes to various clubs in Jakarta before calling Stadium his home. are Now The two Stadium residents will be leaving their posts to hit things up at LUV’s Bar & Dine to celebrate RDJ’s anniversary on the 11th of November. The two will perform alongside LUV’s lovely resident DJs while livening things up with their specialty Progressive Trance.
hail from Jakarta, Indonesia
Have Been Awal karir DJ Bobby ke dunia DJ tidak berawal seorang yang gila party, tapi justru sebagai instructor DJ di Bandung. Pada tahun 90, dia pilih untuk pindah ke Jakarta dimana para mantan muridnya membantu dia untuk tampil di berbagai club seperti Manhattan, Atlanta, Ebony, M Club dan kini telah menjadi resident DJ yang dinantikan kehadirannya di Stadium. Seperti Bobby, DJ Nash mengawali karir musicnya sedikit berbeda. Dia berawal sebagai music director untuk sebuah agensi model. Berbekal ilmu dasar untuk menjadi DJ, dia terus mengasah kemampuannya hingga menguasai genre Progressive maupun Trance yang dia tularkan keberbagai klab di seantero Jakarta sebelum menetap di Stadium. are Now Dua DJ Stadium ini, akan tampil bersama dalam acara perayaan ulang tahun RDJ yang akan digelar di LUV’s Bar & Dine pada tanggal 11 November.

Ricky Chattaway
Red Square | Fri 11 Nov | 11pm Sound Like House hail from Jakarta, Indonesia Have Been Ricky’s career started in modeling and acting, but he found his true calling after collecting vinyls of big name international DJs, and at the age of 19 decided to become a DJ. His early start led Ricky to a resident spot at Red Square Kuala Lumpur and Pharaoh Acasia Hotel Jakarta before finally calling Red Square Jakarta his resident DJ home. His hours behind the decks are undoubtedly extensive, spending most of his late nights spinning out beats for the crowd in Jakarta and even crossing the sea to stage his tracks for Zouk and Ministry of Sound in Singapore. Also a member of El’8Teen Record, Ricky was recently voted the 2nd ‘Favourite Indonesian DJ of the Year’ by Indoclubbers. As for Catherine Wilson, her natural beauty and stage presence were always going to get her a position as a model. Once signed to famed modeling agency Look Models, she has gone on to strut the catwalk, appear on the cover of various magazines, not to mention appearing on both the small and big screens. She is now developing her musical career. are Now Ricky Chattaway and Catherine Wilson will combine their skills, not as models on the catwalk, but instead as a special duo with Ricky as DJ and Catherine on the mic as live PA. What will the collaboration be like? Don’t miss their performance on 11.11.11 at 11pm!

Catherine Wilson
Have Been Dunia modeling memang banyak melahirkan talenta, seperti halnya Ricky Chattaway dan juga Catherine Wilson. Karirnya Ricky berawal dari industri modeling dan akting, namun karena hobinya mengumpulkan vinyl dari berbagai DJ internasional, mengantarnya untuk mengeluti dunia DJ pada saat usianya 19 tahun. Hasilnya, Ricky menjadi resident DJ di Red Square Kuala Lumpur, Pharaoh Acasia Hotel Jakarta sebelum berlabuh di posisi residentnya di Red Square Jakarta. Bicara jam terbangnya di klab, tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa DJ satu ini sudah lama menghabiskan waktunya dibalik dek DJ hingga merambah club di negeri jiran seperti Zouk dan Ministry of Sound Singapore. Ricky adalah angota dari El’8Teen Record, dan belum lama ini meraih predikat juara 2 ‘Indonesian Favorite Male DJ Of The Year’ dari Indoclubbers . Sedangkan Catherine Wilson tidaklah jauh beda dari Ricky, mengawali karir sebagai model hingga tergabung dalam agensi ternama Look Models. Wajah wanita ini sudah sering terpampang di atas catwalk, majalah, layar kaca bahakan ke layar lebar dan kini sedang berusaha untuk menggeluti dunia music. are Now Ricky Chattaway dan Catherine Wilson akan dipertemukan dalam sebuah, tapi bukan lah diatas catwalk melainkan dalam sebuah kolaborasi sebagai DJ dan live PA. Seperti apa hasilnya? Datang saja ke Red Square Jakarta pada tanggal cantik 11.11.11 pada pukul 11 malam!

pera A new show to premier next week at Teater Jakarta
H
ere is just a fraction of Indonesian history and the struggle against colonization. The name Pangeran Diponegoro (Prince Diponegoro) is very famous among Indonesians as one of the nation’s heroes from the 1800s. Born in Jogjakarta in 1785, Diponegoro is heroic for his opposition to the Dutch colonial rule and his role in the Java War. To remember Pangeran Diponegoro and his efforts for Indonesia, an appreciation of culture and history titled ‘Java War, 1825-0000’ by Sardono W. Kusumo is going to be held from the 11th-13th of November (the birthday of the famous prince is the 11th), at Teater Jakarta in Taman Ismail Marzuki. This reinterpretation is going to show the other side of Diponegoro’s leadership towards Javanese people back then, and the rise against the Dutch colonization. The creator of the show, Sardono W. Kusumo, is originally a classic Javanese dancer. For more than 30 years, Kusumo has been observing different cultures around the world, and on this basis, he has found his place in the world of international dance as a significant choreographer. Lately, his
beatmag.com 038
interest in the changing of earth’s ecosystem has given birth to works that involve environmental awareness, such as ‘Meta Ekologi’ (1979), ‘Hutan Plastik’ (1983), ‘Hutan Yang Merintih’ (1987), and works on social and historical awareness such as ‘Detik-Detik Tempo’, ‘Passage Through the Gong’ (1993) and ‘Soloensis’ (1999). Kusumo has managed to get Iwan Fals involved in the show too, not just to sing, but also to be the storyteller and narrate Diponegoro’s autobiography. Another interesting addition is that the opera is going to feature historian Peter Carey, the writer of ‘The Power of Prophecy: Prince Dipanagara’ and ‘The End of An Old Order In Java 1785-1855’ (2008). Carey is going to discuss a 7x14 metre copy of the painting ‘Penangkapan Diponegoro’ by Raden Saleh, which will be the background set of the opera.

akin ke sini, keberadaan Jakarta tampaknya pelan namun pasti bertransformasi menjadi salah satu sentra konser dunia—atau minimal Asia Tenggara. Kini bisa dibilang tiap bulan ibukota negara ini kedatangan seniman musik dari luar negeri. Pun kelasnya sudah yang wahid, utama, mendunia. Tak usah menengok kelewat jauh ke belakang. Cukup ambil contoh artis yang beraksi di bulan Oktober saja. Di tanggal 5 tampil Westlife di Tennis Indoor Senayan. Bagi penggemar musik pop tentu kelompok boyband asal Dublin, Irlandia, ini bukan entitas recehan. Selain sepanjang sejarah musik Inggris dan Irlandia cuma mereka yang mampu menempatkan 7 dari single pertama mereka bertengger pada posisi nomer 1 jenjang tembang, pula telah menjual lebih dari 44 juta album rekaman di seluruh dunia. Pada tanggal 8 tampil 50 Cent di Epicentrum, Kuningan. Rapper kulit hitam asal New York, AS, gemilang berkalikali meraih status multi platinum serta merenggut belasan penghargaan di berbagai ajang bergengsi. Seandainya saja Motley Crue jadi datang di tanggal yang sama, bisa dipastikan keberadaan Jakarta makin mencuat pamornya secara global.

Without mentioning the previous months or years, in October alone, many top quality artists came and played. Westlife, the boyband who have sold more than 44 million albums throughout their career played in Tennis Indoor Senayan on the 5th. Alice Cooper on the 7th. 50 Cent, one of the world's highest selling rappers, performed on the 8th. If Motley Crue could have made it on the 8th, the reputation of Jakarta will be rocketed even faster among global rock metropolitans. The festivities don’t not stop there just yet. It continues.

What was the first record you bought? Any interesting story behind it? The Police’s ‘Reggatta de Blanc’ & U2’s ‘War’. Can’t remember which one was bought first, but basically a teenage crush on Sting and Bono, and then to Brit Music. What are your all-time favourite albums? Why? OMG! I have so many! To name but a few: Fiona Apple’s ‘When the Pawn’ - excellent music & vocals. Dark, vicious, yet deadly romantic and deep. The Dandy Warhols’ ‘Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia’ makes me feel Bohemian! The Million Dollar Hotel music from the motion picture featuring U2 and The Million Dollar Hotel Band.

C
lassical music as we know it exists for various reasons. Back in an era where this music was the only type of music that you heard all around Europe, people were using it for many purposes. At that time, classical music became a popular medium for all the emotions that one may experience. Sonatas were created by composers when in love, marches for national victories, operas for the ultimate entertainment, and masses for religious reasons. Though classical music is not just Christian music, the connection between the two is undeniable. For centuries, even until now composers still have their spiritual calling to be religious composers or create liturgical compositions for the Church. One of the famous composers who was known for creating big mass compositions is none other than Joseph Haydn. Considered to be one of the most prominent composers from the classical period along with Mozart, Haydn is also known as the father of the symphony and the father of the string quartet, for his important contributions to this form. Like other classical composers back then, Haydn was also moved to create some compositions based on biblical events. In his life, he is known to have composed 14 masses and two famous oratorios (‘The Creation’ and ‘The Seasons’). On the upcoming 5th of November 2011, Jakarta is fortunate enough to be able to hear one of Haydn’s Masses presented by Gloriamus Philharmonia and Greenville Christian Singers at Aula Simfonia. For this special occasion, they have chosen Haydn’s famous ‘Missa in Angustis’ (Mass for Troubled Times) - also know as ‘Nelson’s Mass’. Composed in 1798, Haydn’s world was in turmoil as Napoleon had won four major battles with Austria within less then a year. What Haydn didn’t know when he
wrote the mass is that Napoleon had been recently dealt a stunning defeat in the battle of the Nile by British forces led by Admiral Horatio Nelson. Thus, this mass gradually acquired the nickname ‘Lord Nelson Mass’. The title was further cemented when in 1800, Lord Nelson himself visited the Palais Esterhazy and heard the mass performed. It is one of the six masses written near the end of Haydn’s life that are now seen as a culmination of his liturgical compositions. There is no doubt that Gloriamus Philharmonia under the direction of Adidharma are the right ensemble to bring Haydn’s music back to life. Founded in January 2003 as Gloriamus Symphony Orchestra, this group has an objective to be the center for young people who want to learn classical music and perform it in international standard concerts. During its development, the name changed into Gloriamus Philharmonia, and they have performed various concerts. Most members of the philharmonia are students and teaching staff of the Gloriamus Music School, but this doesn’t mean they are inexperienced. Far from it - in their almost nine year career, Gloriamus Philharmonia has shown Jakarta’s audience that they have an excellent quality and big range of repertories from Baroque to Romantic era skills. For this coming performance, Gloriamus Philharmonia will perform together with Greenville Christian Singers conducted by Ndaru Darsono. They will also have four multinational soloists such as Korean soprano Monica Hwang Hwasook, Singaporean mezzo-soprano Anna Koor Chooi Choo, and Indonesian tenor Samuel Tandei as well as Indonesian Bass Ferry Chandra. If you like classical music, then perhaps this concert is a good occasion to expand your horizons and experience the realm of heavenly music. Who knows, you might end up loving it!

Food What’s New in the Hood? A couple of interesting new restaurants have opened in the Epicentrum area recently. This spacious zone with its Singapore-like planning is fast becoming the place to be in Jakarta and with the captive market of all those towers full of foreign and local people, is set to be even bigger and better in the near future. These two are just a couple of all the great restaurants and bars opening up there recently. Otel Lobby is a cool concept with an even cooler delivery. According to chef Maya Aldy, formally from Hu’u Bar Bali and recently Y Grill and Y&Y, the idea is that the single level restaurant is a hotel lobby at the front, with a hotel bar to the left and hotel restaurant to the right. Drop your bags in the lobby and file in for great drinks and excellent comfort food. The prices are also very cool so there’s no reason not to give Otel Lobby a try. Next question is, “Can I book in for the night?”
Over the road, and in a world of its own,is the new Bluegrass restaurant and bar.The American-esque styled restaurant is placed in one of the most favourable locations in town, with an enormous parking area and a parkland outlook. The restaurant features an open kitchen and one of the longest bars in Jakarta. The design is all warmth and oozing with class, and on the outside terrace guests can even order the BBQ pack and have it cooked right there in front of them. Bluegrass looks set to be a favorite watering hole in town for many and especially with the owner’s Stark beer on tap.

PARADISE DYNASTY A new palace for Chinese cuisine is giving the royal treatment to their hungry clientele.

P
aradise Dynasty is a Singapore-based eatery opened in Plaza Senayan last June, and already they’re giving other Chinese restaurant chains a run for their money. When you walk in, be mesmerized by the majestic décor, with some dramatic modern touches thrown in for good measure. An open kitchen is visible on one side, giving a buzzy, amicable atmosphere. Before we go any further, please note that many of the dishes here are made of pork. There’s a plethora of Chinese fare on offer, but the real specialty here is the xiao long baos (dumplings). There are eight types of signature Dynasty xiao long baos (78k a set) to choose from, each of them with a different unique flavour and colour. For the best experience for your palate, you’re supposed to eat them in a certain order; from the smoothest flavour to the strongest. Don’t worry, there’s a flyer on your table to guide you. Start with the original flavour (white), then the ginseng (green), foie gras (light brown), black truffle (black), cheesy (yellow), crab roe (orange), garlic (grey), all the way to the Szechuan (red). These traditional dumplings with a twist are certainly pleasing to the eye, and to the tastebuds. The skin has just the right thickness, and the filling inside just oozes flavour. Other specialty dishes here are the la mian or hand-pulled noodles. The la mian with sliced pork in signature pork bone soup (42k) is just sublime. The key is in the tasty thick broth, which is made by slowly cooking the pork bone for many hours. The thin and silky smooth noodles complemented the soup very well.
If you’re in a group, Paradise Dynasty also has four scrumptious set menus that’ll whet your appetites. First is the dragon set (128K for 2 pax): crispy spring rolls, Szechuan style poached chicken, ma po tofu, and steamed rice. The second one is the golden set (178K for 2 pax): la mian with vegetable pork dumpling in signature pork bone soup, sautéed diced chicken with cashew nuts and dried chili, sautéed kai lan with ginger sauce, and pan fried pumpkin pastry. For bigger groups, go for the legend set (298k for 4 pax): Cold tofu with century egg, sweet and sour chicken, sautéed beef with assorted mushrooms in szechuan bean sauce, sautéed Australian lettuce, pan fried pancake with red bean paste, and steamed rice. And the last of these fantastic set menus is the dynasty set (318K for 4 pax): La mian with sliced pork in signature pork bone soup, pan fried pork and French bean dumpling, deep fried diced chicken in Szechuan style, braised tofu and sliced pork with mixed mushrooms in spicy sauce, sautéed French bean with minced pork, and glutinous rice ball topped with grated nut. These set menus are valid every Monday to Friday, dinein only, and Chinese tea is included. From delicate dumplings to fiery noodles and everything in between, Paradise Dynasty provides a superb dining experience with affordable Chinese cuisine in a mesmerizing setting, set at a prime location. This is one of the hippest Chinese restaurants in town. (Budi Iskandar)

However, my own personal favourite is the la mian with poached marbled beef Szechuan style (58k).

K
nown as a one stop entertainment destination that since it opened its doors, Illigals offers every form of fun under the sun all under one roof. Not only that, but if you need a place to lay your head, this place also has you covered. We were lucky enough to be invited to the restaurant area to sample some of the delicious creations by in house chef Wawan Gunawan. The mildly lit dining area of Illigals Resto offers a cool and mysterious ambience to the place. The many large leather couches encircling the main dining area add a relaxed vibe, making it a great place to rendezvous with friends before a heavy night of partying, or just hanging out after work.

The dishes on offer are an international affair, but we were more inclined to sample the Asian section of the menu. To whet our appetite and give us time to sort through the wide selection of dishes for our main course, we ordered an appetizer of boneless chicken thighs Thai style (58K) and prawn spring rolls (60K). The spring rolls were the usual deal but were chock full of shrimp, while the Thai style chicken was the winner on the table with its perfect blend of sweet, sour and spice adding to the tender texture of the chicken. Finishing off our entrees we decided to move on to the main course, and went Chinese ordering up hipiaw cah (80K) - stir fried fish belly, gurame tahu tausi (80K) - fried gurame fish served with silken tofu and topped with mildly spicy Tausi sauce, plus the highly recommended fried oxtail soup (78K). The oriental flavors of the Tausi sauce with the crispiness of the fish and smoothness of the tofu was a perfect match, which left us wanting more. As for the hipiaw cah, its looks are truly deceiving as it just looks like a pile of fat on a plate but the way the sauce intertwines with the texture of the fish is a mouth watering sensation you must try.
Despite gaining a few kilos after our fill of food, we figured we couldn’t review a place properly without trying at least one of its deserts, and we opted for another Asian delicacy - the Thai coconut pudding (58K). Without a doubt, this was the perfect meal ender, made up of a gelatinous pudding filled with young Bangkok coconut served in a coconut shell with a scoop of vanilla and strawberry ice cream. How they got the jelly like pudding to fit in the coconut shell was a wonder to us, but however the chef did it, it only added more flavour to the dish. Cocktails are also available on the menu at Illigals Resto and one of the signature drinks here is simply dubbed ‘long night’. Concocted from a mix of vodka, whiskey, brandy, tequila, rum, gin, blue curacao, peppermint, dry orange, sambuca, sherry brandy filled up with grenadine syrup to create a sweet mix that kicks like a mule so its best drunk in sips. After our mini feast we were ready to set the night ablaze at Illigals’ many entertainment venues.
So if you want to enjoy a long weekend without We were quite full after our Chinese dishes, but having to go to too many places, just head to forced our bellies to sample the fried oxtail soup Illigals, everything you need to be entertained is and it sure wasn’t a letdown as we pretty much under one roof! finished the whole bowl. The freshness of the broth and tender meat of the oxtail is probably the reason why it is a popular dish here. 059 beatmag.com

Tutorial: Revlon Custom Eyes Palette & Mascara Here’s a quick review of the Revlon Custom Eyes palette, in particular the Sweet Innocence palette where you can create a sultry purple look. The good thing about this palette is that it comes with a chart at the back on how to apply the product - a great deal of help for a beginner. You get one deep crease colour, one liner colour, two more neutral colours and one highlighter colour. I see that this is the case with other palettes in the Custom Eyes series. The neutral colour might not look too pigmented at first, but
beatmag.com 060
evidently, as you will see below, they are made to complement each of the other colours within the palette to create a beautiful gradation. Follow the simple step by step tutorial and you’ll get a great sultry purple look. In this tutorial, we use a mix of sponge tip applicators that you’ll get with the palette and brushes. You’ll need an eyeshadow brush, pencil or smaller eyeshadow brush for the outer corner and crease, blending brush and eyeliner brush.
Style
1. Apply the white bone coloured eyeshadow all over your lid with dense eyeshadow brush or the sponge tip applicator. Don’t blend it yet, we just want to pile all the colour in the lid. 2. Put the deep purple on the crease. Don’t worry that it looks like a line on your lid. We’re going to work with the blending later. 3. Dust lightly the bone coloured eyeshadow from the crease line up to your browbone. Be a little bit light handed with this one, because we don’t want this part to appear too whiteish. 4. Draw a v-like shape on the outer corner of your eyes with pencil or small eyeshadow brush with the brown eyeshadow. 5. Now it’s time to blend, blend and blend. Use a blending brush and blend the colour together where you will make the separation of colours disappear. There should be no obvious trace of where one colour starts and one disappears. 6. This is roughly what the look should look like after you blend all the colours together. Remember! Be light handed or you’ll make all the colours disappear.
7. Line the half part of your lower lid with the chocolate eyeshadow using the pointy sponge tip applicator. 8. Use the light peach shadow for the inside corner of your eyes, this will brighten your eyes. 9. Here, we use the chocolate eyeshadow as eyeliner. Use an eyeliner brush and damp it a bit before you tap it into your shadow and draw the liner. To finish off this look simply wiggle the Revlon Custom Eyes mascara from root to end to lengthen and voluminize your lashes. The great thing about this mascara is that it has a very flexible brush. You also get to choose between length & definition or length & drama. Voila! This is the final look from the Revlon Custom Eyes palette and mascara combination. It’s so easy to do and this purple look can be applied to anyone without having that panda eye look.

H
ow do you usually dress when you’re in love? Do you dress more cheerfully and sweet as your heart flutters with the sound of your lover’s name? For Eddy Betty, love translates into a collection of colourful and dynamic garments that put batik back in center stage with a new collection titled ‘Love is In The Air’. Everyone who attended the fashion show, held at the Hotel Mulia ballroom clearly enjoyed Eddy Betty’s interpretation of love through the orchestration of daring patterns and bright colours in overlapping compositions. As you look at the pictures of the fashion show, you’ll find that batik tulis is still the cornerstone of the collection, realised in cotton, rayon and black and white eyelet tenun. Garments made of colourful batik were presented in the first section of the show, which was then continued with a section that explored black and white fabrics. Edbe’s philosophy is “mix don’t match”, which is clear from the unstructured patterns, unusual combination and details of the clothes. From all the 90 outfits presented at the show, you’ll find many jumpsuits, voluminous dresses or skirts, asymmetrical blouses and also sarouel pants. They are all casual without compromising style.

History through Comic ’s Bubble Talks

nstitut Français d’Indonesien (IFI) and Akademi Samali held ‘Histoire de la BandeDessinnée’, an exhibition that showcased comic history in Indonesia.

Since 1931 when the first episodes were put in the newspaper Sin Po, the Indonesian comic has developed and transformed following the artistic trends and political events taking place in its homeland. The Comic Community of Indonesia, in collaboration with the comic artists’ collective of Samali College, has brought together a valuable selection of resources documenting this evolution. The highlight of the opening party was the appearance of DjairWarni, a living legend that created JakaSembung, an old comic series that features the adventures of a fictional local warrior. He also shared his experience during the New Order era when many of his other comics were banned by the government for being “a potential threat to national security.” This exhibition’s archival pieces offer an excellent retrospective of the history of the comic in Indonesia. Highly recommended. PameranSejarahKomik Indonesia October 18 – 31, 2011 Galeri IFI Jakarta Jl. Salemba Raya No. 25 Jakarta, Indonesia

lthough the main event is scheduled for the end of the year, the grand international event of Jakarta Biennale#14.2011 has already been holding parallel programs and fringe events. With the theme ‘Maximum City: Survive or Escape’,they held ‘Hospital without Wall’ - an exhibition of paintings by schizophrenia patients. Hospital without Wall itself is the concept of a hospital without walls or boundaries, bearing the plans and procedures of healthcare that involve all parties comprehensively and effectively. It was first established in a community health service centre in Palmares, Alajuela Provence, Costa Rica. The concept was first designed to change access to hospitals that were once closed to the public to become open for anyone. In the end, the Hospital without Wall concept was adopted by other health centres in Alajuela such as in San Ramon, Alfaro Ruiz, Naranjo, and Valverde Vega. The local government supported it and made it a national movement, creating a knock on impact to the international world.
The concept of Hospital without Wall demands participation from all parties, including the government who has a key role. “The government has started the free from shackles program with 30,000 patients released last year and 20,000 more planned for this year. Yet it has not been so clear as to what activities regarding the movement have so far been made, and the public experiences difficulties in accessing the accuracy and the source of the data mentioned” stated Bagus Utomo, the head of The Indonesian Schizophrenia Awareness Community. Together with PerhimpunanJiwaSehat (PJS), an association of families whose members have experienced or are experiencing mental problems, they have established Hospital without Wall by setting up support groups for mental patients. To date, they have adopted the concept into an art exhibition sponsored by the Jakarta Biennale#14.2011 committee and the Jakarta Arts Council.

Snapshot Techniques from the Past Since 1991, British photographer Martin Westlake has traveled throughout Asia on magazine assignments and personal projects. From Beijing’s Forbidden City to the volcanic landscapes of Westlake’s home base of Java, his photographs document people and places in a part of the world that has changed rapidly over the last two decades. Rendered in muted, painterly tones, many of the pictures have a strong hint of nostalgia to them – a yearning for an Asia that is fast disappearing and a longing return to the photographic techniques of the past. Similar to 19th century photographers, Westlake opts to carry an ungainly large format plate camera on most of his journeys. The use of Polaroid films and lith printing darkroom processes recall an earlier era of image making and remind the viewer of the craft and aesthetic of the pioneers of travel photography.

Biophilia
ever one to be pidgeonholed, Bjork has gained quite a reputation as an innovator in music, and this ‘app album’ certainly sticks to that. Said to be partly recorded on an iPad, she combines music, apps, Internet, installations, and live shows into the album. Biophilia doesn’t come as a rush like 2007’s ‘Volta’, but it’s still a provoking experimental piece of electronica with minimal sounds and less loops. ‘Moon’ is a very quiet harmony, merging harps, harmonic singing, and a haunting almost subliminal choir - a beautiful anomalous song. The rest of the album is a similarly electronic adventure that is sure to both challenge and reward in equal measures.
All You Need To Know
n antidote to the often sterile sunset beats from DJs in Bali, Ron Kingston’s pop tunes come from ‘Down Under’ with plenty of soul and Aussie optimism. It’s like listening to a white Babyface, and the tunes roll out the speakers effortlessly. ‘All You Need To Know’ on the whole is a simple and catchy affair, nicely exemplified by the upbeat ‘Make it Up To You’. A duet with Indonesian singer Mia called ‘My Friend’ reminds me of the old animation movie soundtracks of the 90’s. Perfectly polished soulful pop that will go down a treat on an easy Sunday morning.

rmed only with a text message giving no more than the vaguest instruction as to where the new Pavone restaurant is (“somewhere in Padma, mate”), I’m expecting a lengthy mission around the back streets before actually finding the place. I needn’t have worried though - the striking white premises complete with buzzing neon pink sign that looks like something straight out of Miami Vice is not easy to miss amongst the throng of sports bars and DVD shops along Padma’s main strip. Helpfully, a large parking area out back negates the ordeal of having to wedge the bike somewhere along the main road, and it’s not long before I’m sipping on a cool iced tea and perusing the rather swanky looking silver bound menu. It doesn’t just look pretty either, with a fully stacked lineup of breakfast options, lunch specials, appetisers, mains, tapas and desserts there’s something for everyone - from Mediterranean delights to Asian fare.
For the main, I’m torn between the Australian tenderloin with herb butter (150k++) and the seafood pasta (70k++), eventually deciding to go with the surf option, which is a delicious medley of creamy pasta with fat calamari chunks and tender prawns scattered throughout. I panic momentarily as a plate of incredibly tender looking red meat whizzes past my nose en route to another table, but the spotlessly empty plate in front of me reassures that I made the right choice. To keep the old sweet tooth happy I opt for a creme caramel (25k++) for dessert - a huge portion it turns out, that is easily enough to share. As much as I’d love to stick around for the live piano performance (every night from 7pm onwards) it’s time to get a move on and I bid the friendly staff farewell, vowing to return again soon.
Despite only having been open for a month, Pavone looks well established and is sure to do Enjoying the rare occasion of dining alone, I a roaring trade around these parts, so next time order up a tuna salad (45k++) and whip out the you’re in Padma keep an eye out for the neon sign laptop to take advantage of the free WiFi Internet and enjoy a great dining experience at any time connection - perfect for a working lunch or an of the day. alternative to a sweaty ‘net cafe.The breezy interior is all palms and more neon lights that certainly has Dan Ashcroft a style all of its own, with a buzzy feel and good vantage points for people watching.
