REFRESH: New Strategies in Indonesian Contemporary Art
Curated by Enin Supriyanto, Refresh was a group exhibition held at Valentine Willie Fine Art, Singapore, featuring the work of young Indonesian artists whose current-day practices subvert, challenge, and pay homage to those of their predecessors.
“REFRESH is an attempt to rejuvenate the atmosphere of Indonesian fine arts by presenting a number of artists who—by means of their works—have potentialities to throw us all out of the whirling vicious circle. REFRESH is more a way of thinking than a subject of exhibition…REFRESH is also an acknowledgement of the existing vitality that drives ceaselessly Indonesian contemporary arts from the inside and capable of renewing itself all the time…REFRESH is not an anti-market statement but request for broadening, reviving and enriching the market—the place where various tastes, ideas and works may be displayed, contested, appreciated and exchanged openly.” —Excerpt from curator’s open letter to the artists.
