Indonesia 2019

Title: “Reason and Negotiation Never Come Just Once”
Curator: Asmudjo Jono Irianto
Co-curator: Yacobus Ari Respati
Artists: Handiwirman Saputra, Syagini Ratna Wulan

“Akal tak Sekali Datang, Runding tak Sekali Tiba” (“Reason and Negotiation Never Come Just Once”) is named after an Indonesian proverb emphasising the importance of process. The exhibition aims to kindly mock the contemporary and fast-moving digital world, where any information is immediately accessible by anyone. The pavilion’s project contemplates 400 lockers filled with interactive content about issues in Indonesian arts and culture, a ferris wheel and a full-sized smoking room.
