STPI Annual Special Exhibition: Second Movement | Featuring Heri Dono
STPI’s 2022 Annual Special Exhibition: Second Movement
Opening on 11 June 2022

The ‘second’ in ‘second movement’ is never inferior to the first. It is a continuity, a necessary node in the progression of existence.
Curated by:
Khai Hori
Leading Yogyakarta-based contemporary artist Dono’s works are inspired by his experiments with wayang, the complex shadow puppet theatre of Java. Exploring both print and paper, Dono makes the most use of wild deformations and freestyle fantasies and has combined various artistic modes to achieve great emotive effect.

Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan
Heman Chong
Genevieve Chua
Richard Deacon
Ryan Gander

Allegories & Identities

18 Nov – 23 Dec 2017

Flying horses and faceless men greet as saturated, contorted bodies dance beside smiling hybrids. A statement here, a shadow there—all around echoes a mystical, whimsical theatricality built upon alter-realities, imaginative personas and a dosage of carnival-esque silliness. Allegories & Identities is STPI Gallery’s first Indonesian group show that uncovers the spirited expressions and unconventional modes of three prominent artists Eko Nugroho, Entang Wiharso and Heri Dono, through selected works borne from their respective collaborations with the STPI Creative Workshop.

Like metaphorical modern-day dalangs (‘puppet masters’), Eko, Entang and Heri spin satirical epics that resonate with global citizens, transcending geographical, cultural and material boundaries. Complex and open-ended, they beckon us to expand our experiential perspectives and cultural viewpoints, as we confront their interpretation of the world we live in and the inner worlds within us.

A departure from the overtly political and rebellious art forms of the 1970s, the pluralism offered here reflects the increasing dynamism and hybridity of contemporary Indonesian expressions. Recent explorations have seen a shift from a focus on the turbulent past to concerns that illuminate sharp truths about life’s absurdities and human nature. At STPI, the artists have taken their explorations further, reconstructing their collage of traditional and modern artistic forms, high and low culture, and local and global references in print and paper, adding new dimensions to existing iconographies.

Eko’s characteristic motif of masks turned three-dimensional in works like Do We Know Ourselves? (2013) and Love, Ego Money (2013), as his protaganists intervened in public spaces and new contexts, unmasking social constructs, highlighting the make-up of another’s social fabric.

Entang’s ‘black goat’ alter-ego in monumental tableaus like Black Goat vs. Identity Crime and Aesthetic Crime: Comic Book Series (2014) and Home Sweet Home (2014) are translated in new form and materials like the tactile qualities of paper, yarn and saturated colours to heighten his depictions of identity and relational tensions.

Paired with cheeky titles that reflect an upturned logic, Heri perpetuates symbols of ‘HeriDonology’ by combining his subversion of the wayang kulit (‘shadow puppetry’) language with the batik technique. The characters slip and slide into a chaotic world devoid of binaries – a caricature of real-life characters in the past and the fluid present.

Potent with narratives and social commentary, these works are as much a statement on cultural identities and the effects of socio-political climates, as they are an introspection of the artists’ own practice within the contemporary art world. Their curious assemblages are triumphant testaments to their artistic breadth, challenging perceptions of Indonesian contemporary art.

This exhibition is held on the occasion of “RISING50”, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Singapore-Indonesia bilateral relations.

Regular guided tours (begins 23 Nov):
Thu: 11.30am, Sat: 2:00pm
