While the lonely girl in Rain Chudori's short story series had found solace in Monsoon the tiger, Michael had only become lonelier. And as it becomes clearer that Michael is reluctant to let Monsoon remain in their lives, the narrator reflects on their relationship to figure out why. Is the answer to her question going to break her heart? Is it finally time to let go?
One of our favourite DJ/Producers out there is back with bang with 70-minutes of left-field House tunes. This is a significant milestone as despite starting out his career as a House DJ back in 1988, the Earth Pig hasn't fiddled with the genre for more than 20 years. And word on the street has it that he's now even doing live underground House performances and DJ sets. Expect him to do his thing in Jakarta in the near future. Meanwhile, be sure to click play and download this awesome mix. Big up!

Whiteboard Journal had the opportunity to visit the opening of Seks Volume 3 at Waga Gallery, an exhibition featuring the works of 8 artists and curated by Mitha Budhyarto (who was also responsible for curating this exhibition). In her opening remarks, Budhyarto explained her interest in curating the third Seks installment at Waga Gallery after visiting the previous exhibitions, where she became curious of the perspective an all-female ensemble would produce of the subject. She also mentioned that the exhibition took about 3 weeks to put together, a relatively short period of time for the artist to conceptualise and realise their ideas. What resulted from from Mitha Budhyarto's curiosity is an exhibition that is enjoyable in its brevity. The 8 artists involved illustrated their perspective of sex through forms and subjects that was relatable as well as digestible - perhaps the result of the amount of time the artists had to work with, the familiarity of the subject, and the intimate environment of Waga Gallery. Sex is a subject everyone can relate to, and our reasonably firm understanding of sex enables us to easily enjoy focusing on the aesthetics, as well as appreciate the vantage points the artists decided to take. Marishka Soekarna's "Menikmati Lubang" ( are three dioramas in wooden boxes that viewers can see through peep holes. Looking through the peephole (the box illustrated with a woman's private part, mouth, and diamond) are what I can only describe as dreamy worlds with flowers and figurines, the surreal combination of objects conveying feelings. Natasha Gabriella Tontey's video installation, "Vegetable Soup", has the artist observing then chopping various phallic produce on a cutting board, an intimidating sight considering the video's warm and sweet tones as well as Tontey's granny/homemaker-like attire. Sanchia Hamidjaja "Belom" (takes the form of a comic strip where a man situated between a woman's legs does not seem know how to engage in cunnilingus, the woman occasionally looking at her phone from (I assume to be) boredom. "Belom" takes a more lighthearted approach to the sex, using it as a comedic context. These are but a few examples of the works in Sex Volume 3 (you can view more via the images above). Even in its brevity, the exhibition not only displayed the artists' talents but also their perspectives. The diversity in point of views and modes to communicate those point of views instantly became a highlight of this event, making an exhibition that is fun to explore and discuss. Hopefully we will see future exhibitions with the same zest.
