Venue: Theatre 2 (Room B120), 221 Bouverie Street
Presenters: Agung Kurniawan
In this public lecture, internationally renowned multimedia artist, Agung Kurniawan, will discuss some of the major developments in the Indonesian contemporary art world in the period 1990-2017, with a specific focus on the vibrant Yogyakarta art scene. He will address aspects of his own career; the history and role of Kedai Kebun Forum, Cemeti and other cultural spaces in Yogyakarta; the representation of history, violence, trauma, religion and sexuality in art, and the links between visual art, comics and literature. He will explain how contemporary art, both individual studio-based art (using conventional media, such as drawings, paintings, installations) as well as more participatory art, can be used as vehicles to talk about sensitive issues. He will also demonstrate how artist initiatives can contribute to social and political change.
