Parkiran Pikiran: Contemporeneity: Contemporary Art in Indonesia at Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai, China. 23 July-19 August 2010

The exhibition showcases contemporary artworks that mark the tension between "globality" and "multeity". Globality, or current art, should be fostered communally utilizing different art forms of different countries. But in reality, as a result of decolonization, differences between cultures and countries are intense; globalization actually strengthens heterogeneity and promotes multeity.

The contemporary artworks presented in this exhibition portray the concept of "multeity", focusing in particular on the works of influential Indonesian artists and reflecting the development of contemporary art Indonesia outside the western context. Visitors can easily recognize the hallmarks that make the works contemporary art. Bringing forth works utilizing conventional media, the exhibition uncovers the often-blurred boundary between modern and contemporary art outside of Europe and the United States. Furthermore, the exhibition will display artworks that substantiate the inspiration behind the ethnic art that have never been fully grasped in the context of either the modern or contemporary art worlds.
