In the historical venue, The Past Forgotten Time / MASA LALU MASA LUPA
, the theme which embraces all of the curatorial programs at Art House
Cemeti during the period July through December 2006,
“MATAHARIKU-MATAHARIMU” represents an attempt to construct a
particular curatorial approach towards artists from various
generations in three cities on Java: Yogyakarta, Bandung and Jakarta.

The approach is based on the thesis that artists and their entire
formative complex, whether intellectually social, individually
artistic, or politically ethical, must contribute a specific
perspective, which will enrich the historical domain on a whole.
However fluid the social role of the artist in society is, it is often
seen as an important indicator in the direction of cultural change in
the wider community. It is for this reason that these artists are
involved in this project with the historical theme.

Of course, to all of the artists from the generational layers in these
three cities, it is not just a ‘representation’ of a variety of
analyses, understanding and artistic expression about history, but
also as an art and social pilot project.

This presentation, ‘MATAHARIKU-MATAHARIMU’ from artists of several
generations in Bandung, expresses the entire creative process of the
artists, covering the analyses, ideas, fantasies, expressions,
interactions, and creations in various media, which help to strengthen
our faith in the social function of art.

Sunaryo (born 1943), Tisna Sanjaya (born 1958), R.E. Hartanto (born
1973) and Prilla Tania (born 1979) are the artists who are developing
their careers in Bandung.
