Open Call: Objects on Diponegoro

Open call: WORKS ON DIPONEGORO Submission Deadline: October 26 Diponegoro ranks among Indonesia’s most important national heroes. The Javanese prince, who fought against Dutch colonial rule, was the leader of the five-year struggle against the Dutch known as the Java War (1825-1830). He was eventually captured and exiled to Sulawesi, where he died in 1855. Diponegoro is at the center of an upcoming exhibition which presents artworks related to and inspired by the national hero. At the same time, it shows historical and sociological interpretations of how Diponegoro shaped Indonesian visual art history. The exhibition, titled “Aku Diponegoro: Sang Pangeran dalam Ingatan Bangsa, dari Raden Saleh hingga Kini” will be held from 5 February to 8 March 2015 at the Indonesian National Gallery (Galeri Nasional Indonesia) and commemorates the memory of Diponegoro in the life of the nation. We are looking for objects and artefacts (paintings, woodcuts, ceramics, sculptures, posters, manuscripts, cartoons, memorials, etc.) depicting Prince Diponegoro, to be presented as part of the exhibition. If you would like to submit your Diponegoro item as part of the exhibit, please send us images of your objects and artefacts to akudiponegoro@jakarta.goethe.org together with the completed exhibition form which can be downloaded here: akudiponegoro.com If we want to include your works in the exhibition, we will contact you directly to discuss the practical details relating to your objects/artefacts loan for the duration of the exhibition. If you have any further questions or need information related to the upcoming exhibit, please contact: Dima Andari / Lisna Phone: +6221 23550208 ext 116 Email: akudiponegoro@jakarta.goethe.org

Mesin Waktu – Teman-teman Menyanyikan Lagu Naif

NAIF as a band, is one of a kind. As a major label artist, they came out of nowhere with their own package. Their vintage sound, appearance (on their early era) and their whimsical (often comical) lyrics offers insights to the Indonesian music industry. The rise of Naif in the mid-90s, a time when the world of popular music Indonesia began to have an alternative to that offered by indie scene that began to cultivate, making them an idol of the two contradictory sides of music listeners. Naif’s different approach of pop music makes them capable to build a bridge between mainstream listeners with an alternative audience who began to earn his place at that time. And it all makes sense when Aksara Records (RIP) decided to make a “tribute” album for the band. It felt natural. Released on April 2007, this album has everything to be one of Aksara Record’s best releases. The contributing band is the best you can get from the independent scene at that time, from almost every genre available, it opens with White Shoes and The Couples Company as their opener and it ends with SORE as its finale. The most critical point of how this album became an exceptional record is the rendition of each band to the song that they cover. Every band involved succeeded in marking their own footprint on the songs. The Brandals transform one of Naif’s biggest hit, “Mobil Balap” into a sleazy garage rock anthem, Icarie turns “Imaginary Son” to a misty psychedelic ballad, Media Distorsi brings “Selalu” to a dark ambient of electronics, Cherry Bombshell twist “Jauh” to an eerie shoegaze piece, SORE expel their wit on “Hidup itu Indah”. The main highlight of the album are how The Monophones translate “Nanar” into a haunting-yet beautiful vintage Indonesian pop and how TIKA feat. Wrong is The New Right carry “Dia Adalah Pusaka Sejuta Umat Manusia” to a whole new level of experimental jazz. The only flaw on this album, maybe the involvement of Superglad’s poor interpretation of “Benci untuk Mencinta”, but again, it will easily be forgiven due to the quality of the rest of the album. If there’s a list of important albums that needs to be reissued in vinyl somewhere, this album definitely one them.
