Exhibition #9: New art from Bali and Bandung
When people think of contemporary Indonesian art, Yogyakarta comes to mind. Famous as a “city of artists”, Jogja is home to leading art school Institut Seni Indonesia. But Indonesia has other fascinating art scenes. Bandung for example is home to art school ITB and many of its graduates. For decades the two schools competed, their different philosophies evident in their graduates’ work. From Bandung we feature sculptor Maharani Mancanagara, photographer Meicy Sitorus and video artist Eldwin Pradipta. Bali has a very different culture. It also has a long art tradition, which Citra Sasmita addresses in her feminist paintings. Sekarputri Sidhiawati and Agugn Prabowo contribute innovative ceramics and print-making to the local mix. This exhibition presents some of the most interesting young artists working in Indonesia.
25 June—31 July
Exhibition #10: Other Possible Worlds: Contemporary art from Thailand
Including work by 12 younger and mid-career artists, Other Possible Worlds presents contemporary art from Thailand to Australian audiences. Reflecting Thai art, the exhibition includes works in many media—painting, sculpture, photography, installation, neon, video, prints and works on paper—and from many parts of the country. While Thailand is a major destination for Australian tourists, few Australians engage with Thai culture. But as co-curator John Cruthers reports, “Thai art, becoming more established on the world stage, is a fantastic entry point to the country and its diverse cultures. It is creative, sophisticated and often politically engaged. While it has not been easy to see, learn about or collect Thai art outside Thailand, Other Possible Worlds brings a range of work by leading younger artists to Australia.” Part two of the exhibition is on view at Delmar Gallery, 26 June–1 August.

Stretch
Michelle Chanique, Karen Lee, Jo Nolan and Gaia Starace
To ‘stretch’ is an act of drawing out or extending to the full length; to hold out, to reach for something that presents itself in an unfixed manner. Through the mediums of photography, video, sculpture and painting, these artists define feelings of being ‘stretched’, and compel their viewers to reflect and rethink their perception of the world around them.
