Pameran 'Membaca Kembali Driyarkara'

The-Great-Banyan-Disorder
iCAN co-organized exhibition | “Membaca Kembali Driyarkara: Kemanusiaan, Pendidikan, Kebangsaan” | 17 Des 2008-17 Jan 2009 | Universitas Sanata Dharma, Yogyakarta
Pameran ini mengajak para perupa Indonesia untuk secara khusus membaca kembali secara kritis dan mengeksplorasi secara visual gagasan-gagasan Driyarkara dalam bidang kemanusiaan, pendidikan, dan kebangsaan. Di tengah serbuan gagasan-gagasan “asing”, kami menganggap penggalian pikiran-pikiran Indonesia merupakan sebuah upaya yang layak diperjuangkan dalam seni rupa kontemporer Indonesia.

REFRESH is an attempt to rejuvenate the atmosphere of Indonesian fine arts by presenting a number of artists who—by means of their works—have potentialities to throw us all out of the whirling vicious circle. REFRESH is more a way of thinking than a subject of exhibition. It is not exhibition of paintings, sculptures of objects, graphic prints, photos, installations or combination of these already mentioned. REFRESH is fine arts exhibition. It is also an acknowledgement of the existing vitality that drives ceaselessly Indonesian fine arts from the inside and capable of renewing itself all the time. REFRESH is not an anti-market statement but request for broadening, reviving and enriching the market—the place where various tastes, ideas and works may be displayed, appreciated and exchanged openly.
