ABOUT

The exhibition First Sight in Jogja is the culmination of a collaborative experience between six diverse international artists. It is intended to encourage each one to engage with other less-familiar artists and to reflect on the limitless histories and cultural nuances they have collected and produced. During the Baik Art Residency at Cemeti Art House in Yogyakarta, the artists immersed themselves in the colonial and contemporary legacies of Indonesia, while communicating their unique work ethics and methodologies to each other. First Sight in Jogjaengages viewers with a spectrum of diverse artworks that frame the artists’ ideas and joint effort. The six participants, Marco Rios, Christine Nguyen, Lee Wan, Angki Purbandono, Heri Dono, and Indieguerillas bring their personal experiences and national life lessons to be experienced in one place. The spectacular landscapes of Indonesia helped to undo territorial beliefs and complete their purpose within the context of the Baik Art Residency.
