Noughties by Nature: Contemporary Indonesian Art from Generation 2000+
After a successful run in Yogyakarta, Gajah Gallery is set to present a major group exhibition, Noughties by Nature: Contemporary Indonesian Art from Generation 2000 Plus, at its Singapore space. This exhibition is accompanied by an essay by art critic Farah Wardani.
The Noughties by Nature exhibition is an initiative from a long series of efforts to trace the origins of Indonesian art from the Generation 2000s. It presents various approaches, tendencies, and practices of artists from that era, then traces them back through historical milestones across different periods.
The exhibition presents the dynamics of artistic practices among the new generation of Indonesian artists. Through a kaleidoscopic lens, these artists reinterpret the reality of everyday life and then develop it by injecting elements of pop culture, local heritage, and global influences into their works. On the other hand, their works reflect the complex dynamics of post-reformation youth culture, where the echoes of Western multiculturalism and Indonesian values intertwine with the rhythm of modernity.
The show investigates how artists respond to and formulate their interpretations of popular culture, going beyond merely creating artworks that depict pop icons. The selection of artists and works explore a deeper interpretation of the influence of popular culture on the art world, showcasing a rich, diverse local evolution deeply rooted in the cultural and social values of Indonesian society.
The featured artists in the show include: Aprilia Apsari, Bambang “Toko” Witjaksono, Dian Suci Rahmawati, Eddie Hara, Indieguerillas, Pandu Sudewo, Priyanto Sunarto, Riono Tanggul, Rosit Mulyadi, Sanchia Hamidjaja, T. Sutanto, Terra Bajraghosa, Tuyuloveme, Uji ‘Hahan’ Handoko Eko Saputro, and Wedhar Riyadi.
