andung’s Selasar Sunaryo Art Space’s annual collaborative exhibition titled Titicara offers an expansive discourse on methods through the eyes of women.
On Aug. 13, Selasar Sunaryo Art Space (SSAS), along with Jakarta art gallery ISA Art and Design, opened their flagship annual women artists exhibition, Titicara. Aptly named by its initiator-cum-selector, Bandung-based artist Syagini Ratna Wulan, the exhibition is based on a slightly more constrained sense of method, placing its focus more on materials and their treatments.
Despite its seemingly attenuating context, the collaborative exhibition delivers a delightful maelstrom of works from an encompassing lineup of 23 women artists hailing from Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Australia and Singapore—its Jakarta exhibition, held from April to June 2022, included 17 artists from the current lineup.
On feminine authority
“It began with Deborah’s suggestion,” said Syagini regarding how the idea for the exhibition started. Syagini was referring to Deborah Iskandar, the founder of ISA Art and Design.
“I think we should make a women's show. You should curate something,” Syagini imitated Deborah. “But I needed to find a reason first,” she added.
