Bantul Art Summit
Gajah Gallery, Indonesia, Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta, 05/27/2016 - 06/26/2016
ABOUT
Hailing from various cities and countries around the greater Asia Pacific
region, these featured artists share common ground in creating workon their own
terms independent of aesthetic, social or political trends. Bantul Art Summit
offers an alternative to the formalized art culture permeating the region, while
inviting critical discourse within a respected establishment, and providing a
more organic approach to viewing and appreciating art. The show emulates the
philosophies of its artists: emphasizing process-driven work and asserting
individuality outside of conventional institutions.
The exhibition will establish a meeting ground for the international art
world and the local art community in Yogya, engaging and strengthening ties
between artists, collectors and curators.
Bantul is a small area within Yogyakarta, well known for its rich artistic
heritage.
Adjacent to the Gallery is Yogya Art Lab (YAL), where some of South East
Asia's finest sculptural work is produced in collaboration with internationally
acclaimed artists and local artisans. For the past five years, Gajah Gallery has
remained deeply committed to fostering growth in the regional art scene by
investing in the processes and materials behind production at YAL. Drawing from
a wealth of traditional methods and trained in the most advanced contemporary
techniques, the artisans at YAL create museum-quality work which is featured
internationally in exhibition and private collections.
