On the Table - Exhibition Series


Lir presents: "On the Table - Exhibition Series"

------
(scroll down for english)


Kami mengartikan istilah "On the Table" di pameran dalam dua makna: 1. secara harfiah: di atas meja, dan 2. secara idiom: meletakkan subyek dan poin-poin untuk didiskusikan oleh kelompok. Apabila tahun lalu kami membuat pameran retrospektif untuk melihat ulang dan menanyakan pada diri sendiri "apa saja yang sudah kamu lakukan 4 tahun terakhir"; maka kali ini pertanyaan kami berkembang menjadi "setelah 5 tahun, apa yang akan kamu lakukan sekarang?".

Untuk menjawabnya, kami membedah berbagai kegiatan yang diinisiasi Lir dan menjadi kepedulian utama kami saat ini ke dalam tiga pameran yang berbeda: 1. The Observant Club yang merupakan platform riset kuratorial yang kami mulai sejak tahun lalu, 2. Independent Book Making Club yang coba kami hidupkan kembali dengan sebuah pameran buku yang sekaligus menjadi spion untuk melihat ke belakang dan mengingat sejarah ruang, ketertarikan atas buku, dan bentuk buku sebagai medium karya dan ruang pamer alternatif , serta 3. Exhibition Laboratory yang merupakan platform 'sekolah liar' yang berbentuk laboratorium penciptaan karya seni dan pameran tunggal.

Secara harfiah dan sederhana, seluruh pameran akan ditampilkan di atas meja sebagai alternatif atas dinding. Ketika sebuah ruang alternatif kerap mendapatkan pertanyaan "alternatif atas apa?", maka pertanyaan sulit tersebut kami jawab dengan bermain-main. Pada akhirnya, gagasan atas ruang alternatif membebaskan gagasan atas ruang pamer dan memperluas cakupan bentuknya. Galeri bisa tidak berbentuk galeri, dipindah ke jalanan, ruang privat, ataupun dimampatkan dalam bentuk buku. Dinding ruang pamer bisa digantikan perannya oleh pepohonan, facade gedung, atau dalam hal ini: di atas meja! Menjadi alternatif memberikan kebebasan untuk memilih jalur-jalur yang tidak biasa. Kali ini kami menggabungkan keduanya dan mempresentasikan separuh seri pameran ini di dalam sebuah galeri white-cube yang berlokasi di kompleks situs bersejarah di dunia seni rupa Jogja. Karena, bagaimanapun, sebuah ruang seni alternatif memiliki kebebasan untuk menapakkan kedua kaki di atas dua tanah yang berbeda, bukan?

Selain itu, kami pun menikmati kemiripan ruang Lir dengan sebuah meja: sifatnya yang lebih intim, ruang yang terbatas dan cenderung sempit, serta sifatnya yang dekat dengan keseharian dan mudah dijangkau tanpa adanya teror ruang. Bagi kami, meja juga memungkinkan adanya interaksi dan mengundang orang untuk melakukan kegiatan di atasnya. Baik dalam presentasinya sebagai meja makan, meja belajar, meja kedai, hingga meja praktek dalam rangkaian pameran ini; seluruhnya merupakan cerminan atas Lir dan kedekatannya dengan elemen makanan, ruang belajar kelompok, keberadaan kedai dan adanya ruang bertemu untuk berinteraksi, mencatat, bertanya, dan membuat kesimpulan.

Dalam pameran pertama "The Observant Club's Fine (Art) Dining", adanya sebuah performative exhibition menjadi inti dari pameran ini dan berfungsi sebagai pendidikan seni alternatif. Sejumlah duta seni rupa akan diundang ke sebuah jamuan makan yang menampilkan karya-karya seni berbasis makanan. Lini masa keluarnya karya tersebut dalam sejarah seni rupa Indonesia ditampilkan dalam urutan makan dalam three-course dining. Saat pertunjukan sedang tidak berlangsung, terdapat pameran dokumentasi dan modul pelengkap bagi karya ini.

Dalam pameran kedua "(Not a) Book (but a) Show", sejumlah seniman diundang untuk membuat 'pameran tunggal' yang diwujudkan dalam sebuah 'ruang pamer' yang berbentuk buku. Maka dalam pameran buku ini; buku dilihat sebagai ruang pamer, sebagai pameran itu sendiri, maupun sebagai karya final berbentuk artist book.

Dalam pameran ketiga "Exhibition Laboratory Representative Duel/Duet", dua seniman lulusan Exhibition Laboratory #1 dan #2 diundang untuk mengembangkan proyek mereka masing-masing yang dulu dipamerkan dalam pameran tunggal di Lir.

Seluruh pameran ini dibuat untuk dinikmati perlahan dengan kedekatan fisik dan adanya interaksi. Kami juga memamerkan rangkaian pameran ini di dua lokasi untuk memperkenalkan kerja kuratorial Lir yang kini dilakukan secara kolektif dalam sebuah tim kuratorial. Hal tersebut memungkinkan kami membuat pameran dalam kerangka kuratorial Lir di lokasi lain di luar Lir Space. Maka, catat tanggal dan lokasi pameran; dan selamat menikmati!

(english)

We translate the term "On the Table" as: 1. literally: on the table, and 2. by its idiom: subject to submitted as a point of discussion by the group. Last year, we made a retrospective exhibition to look back and ask ourselves "what have you done in the past 4 years?"; now our question evolves to "after 5 years, what are you planning to do?".

To answer the question, we review previous projects we initiated that have become our main concern and present it in three different exhibitions: 1/ The Observant Club -a curatorial research platform we started last year, 2/ Independent Book Making Club -a club we are trying to revive with a book show that also become a rearview mirror to look back and remember the history of our space, our interest in books, and the form of book as a chosen medium and alternative exhibition space, also 3/ Exhibition Laboratory -our 'wild school' platform in form of a laboratory for creating artwork and solo exhibition.

Quite literally and simply, all exhibitions will be presented on the table as an alternative of the wall. When an alternative artspace often face a question of "being an alternative of what?"; we decided to answer the difficult question playfully. At the end, the idea of an alternative space liberated the notion of an exhibition space and broadens the scope of its form. A gallery can be gallery-less, presented on the street, private area, or even compressed into a book. The wall of an exhibition space can fully perform its function on a tree, on a facade of a building, and in this case: on the table! Being 'the alternative' gives freedom to choose unusual path. This time, we combine the two and present half of the series inside a white cube gallery located on an art historical site in Jogja. Because, well, an alternative space has such freedom to step both feet on different ground, right?

Aside from that, we like the likeliness of Lir as a space with a table: it is intimate, the space is limited and even narrow, and its nature is close with the daily life and approachable without that certain 'terror' of an artspace. For us, the wall makes interaction possible and invites people to make and do things on it. Whether it is presented as a dining table, a desk, a counter, or a practice table; all of which are becoming the reflection of Lir's affair with food, study group, the presence of a shop and gathering space to interact, take notes, ask, and draw a conclusion.

In the first exhibition "The Observant Club's Fine (Art) Dining", a performative exhibition become the whole essence of this exhibition and have a role in becoming an alternative art education. A number of visual art free-agents are invited on a dining party that will present edible food-based fine art. The timeline of those works in the Indonesian art history will be presented on three-course dining arrangement. When the performance is not present, a documentation and supplementary module will be exhibited as part of this work.

The second exhibition in the series "(Not a) Book (but a) Show", several artists are invited to make 'solo exhibition' in form of book as 'exhibition space'. Thus, in this book show; book is an exhibition space, an exhibition, and an artist-book as final artwork presentation.

The third exhibition "Exhibition Laboratory Representative Duel/Duet", two young artists graduated from Exhibition Laboratory #1 and #2 are invited to develop their projects that were exhibited in their solo exhibition at Lir.

The whole exhibition series is made to be enjoyed slowly with a physical proximity and interaction. We also exhibit this series in two different locations to introduce our collective curatorial work as a curatorial team under Lir’s name. It allows us to create projects in Lir's curatorial platform at other location outside Lir Space. So, save the date and exhibition location; and enjoy the show!

[TEASER] Turning Five!


*****

May is always the most exciting month of the year for us. It represent the personal new year of Lir: it's the month of our anniversary! Lir is turning 5 on May 9, 2016. For our 5th anniversary, we have several programs lining up, waiting to be formally announced to the world. We are giddy with excitement right now. 

So, what to expect this month at Lir? I can give you some hints.. (while the rest of it remain secrets-- stay tuned for our official poster release on Instagram, facebook, twitter, and in this blog)


Art:
A series of exhibition marathon, featuring our curatorial-research team: "The Observant Club", focusing on alternative art education, independent-book making as a form of solo exhibition, and questioning the notion of 'space' in the exhibition space. There will be four exhibitions in one month, featuring the work of senior artists as well as young artists from Jakarta, Jogja, Surabaya, and (maybe) Bali. 

Books:
Cheap book sale and even more books to take on a blind date! 

Activity: 
How about a literature class for writing a personal hand-written letter, taught by a well known author? I would personally sign up for that!

Treats: 
Stay tuned for our freebies, treats, and flash discount that will be announced on a daily basis on instagram (http://instagr.am/lirspace/) 

Music:
We'd really love to celebrate our birthday with some folks.. but, our beloved music-event manager is currently undertaking a 'residency' in the island of God.. still, one can always hope right? If you wish to sing some folk this month, let's make a plea to folkafternoon via his instagram, twitter, and facebook account. Who knows he'll take a quick holiday back home to make some music! *winkwink*

April Report: Bela Bangsa Exhibition Opening


*****

Indonesia dalam pameran ini adalah sebuah kumpulan cerita. Cerita-cerita yang sepertinya pernah atau bahkan berkali-kali kita dengar dan bicarakan hingga cerita-cerita yang sama sekali belum pernah kita dengar, entah di kamar tidur atau di warung kopi. Cerita-cerita tersebut dihadirkan oleh ke-16 anak muda peserta pameran seni rupa bertajuk 'Bela Bangsa' ini lewat bermacam rupa media: drawing, fotografi, digital painting, batik, kolase, sablon, instalasi, dan mixed media. Cerita-cerita mereka bernilai personal, datang dari perasaan, pengalaman dan pengamatan mereka sebagai anak muda Indonesia yang hidup di Indonesia. 'Bela Bangsa' sendiri adalah sebuah proyek yang kami inisiasi sejak paruh akhir 2011, di mana pameran seni rupa ini menjadi salah satu programnya.

Artist Talk: Rembang dalam memori Octo Cornelius


*****


Octo Cornelius merupakan seorang pemuda perantau asal Rembang yang sedang menggelar pameran di LIR Space pada 9-25 maret 2012. Dalam acara artis talk, Octo mencoba menceritakan tentang Rembang, memori-memori yang membekas dan proses kreatif dalam membuat karya-karyanya. Octo memiliki kedekatan emosional terhadap Rembang. Menurut Kuntowijoyo merupakan salah satu syarat dalam melakukan sebuah riset.

Sebelum membuat karya-karyanya, Octo melakukan riset dengan menyisir kota Rembang dari sebelah timur ke barat dan bagian selatan. Hasil risetnya kemudian diolah pada media kayu. Dalam catatan Octo, Kincir angin yang menjadi salah satu karyanya berasal dari kisah para petani garam yang memanfaatkan kincir tersebut untuk memompa air agar garam bisa segera dipanen. Hutan yang gundul di Rembang dan teko yang menggambarkan kesan kekeluargaan.

Hi[s]tory: His Story | History --- Opening and Introduction


*****

Kami menyukai kisah-kisah. Kami juga menyukai hubungan romantis antara rumah dan perjalanan. Bagi kami, kedua hal tersebut memiliki kisah yang kaya sekaligus personal.

Dalam pameran ini, Octo menawarkan sebuah kisah tentang rumah, kota asal, dan sepenggal sejarah yang buru-buru ia ceritakan sebelum ingatannya memudar seperti foto-foto yang tergerus waktu. Octo semacam membuat monumen ingatan atas kota asalnya yang telah ditinggalkan sekaligus masih disebutnya sebagai 'rumah'.

"In Exile: Inner Sanctum"


*****

It was raining cats and dogs at the opening night of Bagus 'jalang' Wiratomo solo exhibition at Lir Space. Yet, some people ride through the rain and join us at the event. Yes it was raining, but here, we're warm and cozy having intimate chit chats with the artist. The exhibition might be a bit dark but the artist successfully express his emotion through his work.
