2/1/2020

0 Comments

The Round Table is a research project about art collective initiated by RAR Editions. This project tries to read and record the movements of artist collectives work practices in Southeast Asian to answer our main issue about art collective and generation overlay in art collective. Aimed to trigger critical discussion related to individual involvement in art collective itself, this project will be done in various form including website as directory, FGD (focus group discussions), published journals, and also an exhibitions.

We also limit our informant based on the ages of the collective member due to the need of broadening our discussion about collective as an epoch marker. The directory will be made in the form of a website: www.theroundtable.art, including the artist collectives profile along with their archive of works to get a wider audience. We also hope that the accessibility of these data can increase an exposure for some collectives who may still need it. This site will regularly raise discussion about the issue of youth movements related to their collective behavior with the data that will be obtained through interview methods.

Pukat Pikat Asia (Biennale’s Resource Room) 20 October - 30 November 2019

In this project, RAR attempted to create a resource room for Biennale Jogja XV which contained artists’ archives and everyday things in Southeast Asia. This room arranged as stopover with background idea of food stall. As we know, food stalls have been part of everyday life practice and easy to find. Food stalls are the perfect stopover destination; whether you are hungry, take a rest, work, or even to meet friends. It will not be an issue; if you want a full course meal, snacking, or just have a drink. As a stopover space, we believe it will allow the opportunity to exchange stories through meetings. Pukat Pikat Asia delivers a stopover space for the Jogja Biennale Equator #5 visitors; to sit, meet, and rest. Take a minute to visit Pukat Pikat Asia, then you will be pleased by a variety of Southeast Asian dishes. By serving various dishes, we hope that Pukat Pikat Asia will be able to provide a space for visitors to get to know each other and exchange stories.

Various Dish:
The Collective Dish, The Layered Dish, The Moving Image Dish, The Game Dish, and The Acitivity Dish

Open Studio : Being Sweet Isn’t Enough, Sometimes? 16 October - 15 November 2018

Being Sweet Isn’t Enough, Sometimes? is a part of the bigger project, The Round Table. Through this specific project, we’ll try to learn how art collective in different geographic condition, culture, political situation, and language is doing. This project will be held first through residency program at Tentacles Gallery at Bangkok, Thailand. During residency period, our focus is including networking with young collectives in Bangkok, profiling and interviewing, opening discussions to share information, studying the nature of their collective, and so on. So that we can build discussions again among young collectives in Indonesia armed with the experience and information we get during interacting with young collectives in the city of Bangkok.

On the other hand, as an art collective who does residency, we open ourselves to any collaboration with young collectives there to form works that will be presented as exhibitions at the Tentacles Gallery and self-published book. We hope that the results of this collaboration will be re-presented when we return to Yogyakarta.

Vision
Extending the range of information related to the art collective as a global information channel in the form of a website. So it can be accessed by anyone as one of the supporting information related to art collectives spread throughout Southeast Asia.

Mission
Give information space related to art collectives and the sustainability of these art collectives. It also aimed to trigger critical discussion related to individual involvement with art collective and collective participation in broader art discourse.

Print show is a printing performance that was adapted from the print show by Daido Moriyama. It was intended to give the audience experience as an editor in a transparent zine-making production process just like an open kitchen because people can see how the process of the producing is shown by the performance itself.
