An exhibition and collective activities bringing together the work of 100+ talented sketchers showcasing the heart of Indonesia on Urban Sketchers Bali 13th Anniversary in collaboration with Sketsa Nusantara.
The phrase ‘Longer, Linger & Angler’ might seem like a title, yet it functions as a layered invitation, an open field where making, writing, questioning, and spectral haunting blur into one another.
This exhibition, featuring the works of Xiuching Tsay (1993, Chonburi) and Pande Wardina (1995, Bali), does not seek to offer straightforward answers. Instead, it cultivates a space where the persistence of tradition becomes a site of inquiry-where the boundaries between memory and invention are porous, and where engaging with cultural material is inseparable from questioning.
Showcasing the works of Ade Itameda and Eka Mardiys 'home MADE' invites you to rethink the notion of Bali as the collective home, both for Balinese and outsiders.
As a wordplay, it is a call to Made (the stand-in of the Balinese name) to be aware of the ever-evolving home island. It is also a reference to Ade and Eka's works created in the Sekala studio as our home base, often also rooted in the traditions of the homeland.
Nonfrasa is delighted to present a group exhibition, ‘Sea Mogul, Run due, Calm me, Talk, Barrel Ear’. This group exhibition delves into the reciprocity between language, symbolism, and the imperfections that arise when words falter. Paraphasia, a linguistic phenomenon where unintended syllables or phrases emerge, disrupts the expected flow of communication. Yet, within this disruption lies a peculiar beauty, a space where misplaced words and lost meanings reciprocate opportunities for humor, poetry, and new interpretations.
White Cube is pleased to present ‘THRESHOLDS’, a group exhibition featuring the work of 9 contemporary artists whose practices are rooted in or connected to Indonesia.
Forming a chorus of unique experiences, all of which are shaped by the crossing of a ‘threshold’, the works on view reflect an understanding of the coexistence of light and dark; a dynamic whereby opposite forces are not at odds but in balance.
Featured artists: Galuh Anindita, Arahmaiani, Christine Ay Tjoe, Nadiah Bamadhaj, Kei Imazu, Ines Katamso, I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih, Citra Sasmita and Jennifer Tee.
