Often our first reaction when experiencing art is the question “What is this” or “What is that?” A question stemming from a new experience encountered through a vision outside our personal realm, a question to stimulate our intellect and our psyche.
“Apa Ini Apa Itu” is the root question of life; from the beginning to the end of our life, throughout all our experiences, in art, in learning, in being, in seeing, in hearing, in feeling. Our question is always ‘what is this, what is that?’
The aim of Djagad Art House, through the first event in Klunkung, is to invoke this basic question, the root of our being. We raise the question but allow the viewers, the ones who experience the art form, to find the answers for themselves. Just as in life our questions can be answered only through our personal experiences which allow us to progress as sentient beings. So at this exhibition we hope to move the viewers to progress in their understanding and view of the meaning and representation of creativity and art.
Our site in Klungkung, selected with the division created by the ByPass Road in mind, represents the two bodies ever present in life; the spiritual and the physical-Rohani and Jasmani. The end of the year is the perfect exploration point for the questions of “what is this, what is that.” A time when introspection is customary, we hope our posed questions are carried with the viewers into the new year to set the tone for each individual to contemplate the answers to the topics encountered at the event.
Over the period of three days (based on the three elements; earth, air, and water), the event is envisioned as a twenty-four hour event. Constant documentation and uploads to our website will allow viewers to experience the artistic energy in the rice fields and on the beach of Klungkung. With this in mind artists are encouraged to schedule installation, performance and interactive pieces throughout the twenty four hour period.
The event will be launched on the 27th of December at two major sites with approximately 25 invited artists from both Indonesia and abroad. All types of media are welcomed with the outdoor venue in mind. Installation, sculpture, performance and interactive exhibits along with music and dance are some of the scheduled contributors.
More than an exhibition this is an event, a happening focused on creativity for creativity’s sake. The founders of the event, Daniel Kho, Wayan Sujana (Suklu), and Wayan Sudiarta state that “All art is legitimate creativity” and “All creative ideas are legitimate.” With this in mind experimentation that challenges personal creativity to push the boundaries of recognized ‘art’ is the driving force of the event.
Djagad Art House’s choice of Klungkung is based on two trains of thought related to the position of Klungkung and Gianyar in modern and historical terms.
Historically Klunkung was the center of Classical Balinese painting but with the progression of painting and art movements, Klungkung lost this distinction as Ubud and other areas became more prominent. The site choice was made in part to honor this history as well as to bring art and creative life to Klungkung.
Klungkung, and Gianyar, gained modern importance as development increased on the island of Bali. This area of Bali is the largest producer of sand and raw building materials that supports the entire development of the rest of the island. In this regards the founding members want to highlight Klungkung’s important role in the modern development of Bali.
Djagad Art House’s choice to hold our event outside the usual venues and areas is also to highlight not only Klungkungs forgotten role in modern and historical times but also to launch the idea behind Djagad Art House that the boundaries of art and creativity extend beyond the customary definition of art and venues to view art.
