Dia.lo.gue Artspace presents an exhibition entitled Blink / Glance / Gaze. This exhibition will feature two of Jakarta’s young, talented artists: Angela Judiyanto and Yaya Sung. These artists’ artworks are curated by Mitha Budhyarto.
Blink / Glance / Gaze is an outcome of the artists’ exploration about the fact that we capture things through our eyes everyday. We might not be aware that this is essential as it affects our way to perceive our surroundings, whether it is a blink, glance, or gaze.
In Blink / Glance / Gaze, Yaya will display her artworks: the photographs that based on her exploration of the act of “kamisan,” a non-violent protest that regularly held by Kontras every Thursday (Kamis) in front of the State Palace. Angela, on the other hand, works on illustrations that reflect the complexities of personal narratives through mixed media.
Through their artworks, Angela and Yaya tell us that there is a strong relationship between how we perceive what we see and our memories and yearnings. This exhibition invites us to ponder about the way we see and interpret everything we see everyday, throught the blink, the glance, and the gaze.
This exhibition will be held for a month in Dia.lo.gue Artspace, Kemang as an extension of its annual programme, Exi(s)t. The exhibition will be opened for public on the evening of Saturday, November 2nd 2013. Also, there will be an artist talk titled “Ways of Seeing” that will be held on the same day.
