Invasion is a kinetic sculpture that is a contemplation of geopolitical border. As you enter the exhibition space, the first thing you see are the pots with red sands in it on the floor. Out of the pots come red threads, all going through an opening on a thick wall. In the opening, you see […]
Packing now, after 3 months in Jogja. In the exhibition I showed Invasion (was Almost Cut when still in progress), Great Wallpaper No. 211/1940, Great Wallpaper No. 12/2602, Great Wallpaper No. 470/I/Sbki/67, (Re)Collection of Togetherness – Stage 2 which included Pulang (was Sobron Sehari-hari until the most recent draft – this is also still in […]
When we went to the Ngasem pet market to look for some sand to put in the kite pots, Ratna saw this baby mosquitoes for fish food. She immediately and excitedly asked me whether I still was collecting mosquitoes. I said yes, bought one plastic bag of those baby mosquitoes and brought them back […]
I tried the razorblade/kite setup in the small window between the kitchen and the meeting room in Cemeti studio. The doors to both end of the kitchen were always open, and thus the setup was just very unstable. I wonder how it would manage to keep stature in the gallery – Cemeti Art House is […]
Last night was the first time I discussed more about Sobron Sehari-hari again with Marie. She has seen the first draft in Singapore when I presented it at Theatreworks/72-13 a few years ago. Today started really hot. Midday, the big rain began. I sketched some to think about the frame for Almost Cut and then […]
This is where I’m working for the Landing Soon #5 artist residency until the end of January 2008. This particular studio is at the back of Cemeti Studio (just a few hundred meters from the Cemeti Art House), looking out to the nice backyard. There are 3 bedrooms and 3 studios in this house. […]
I thought that if I would use a kite anyway for Almost Cut, the kite has to be extremely light. Perhaps made from dried petals? One of the original idea was to make the kite using paper made out of birth certificates. But I really am not certain about this yet, because the birth certificates […]
I’m having fun, and going mad! When I came in this morning the razor blade with the red thread was down. I wonder whether that was because of the fan (it’s hot today!) or if someone has touched it. Or if it’s from the weight of the black thread (the one that came through the […]
Okay. I’ve done another setup next to the first one, using the cylindrical magnet this time (the one with 9.9 kg pull strength, 8 mm x 25 mm). It works with only 1 magnet, so that’s the strength that I need. Interestingly I guess the poles in this one is different than the block one […]
