‘Portable’ sees  a selected group of contemporary visual artists share their small yet significant stories.  The work is a creative response to popular beliefs  and  social  values  that  often have  no personal or  cultural  relevance yet  shape our  everyday  lives. The  exhibition  aims  to  focus  on the  smaller  things  that  often go  unnoticed but  hold  an  integral  part  in defining  personal and cultural  identity.  The  expected outcome is a thoughtful body  of  work  which  communicates to  those who  take  time  to  approach, observe and  discover. The  exhibition  also  considers the permanency and  weight  of artwork  that  is portable in nature

Curated within a suggestive framework representing a ‘home’ with various compartmentalized rooms, each  artist’s  work  will be  exhibited  in  a  dedicated  and   intimate space,  where  the viewer  is guided through and  encouraged to experience each individual space as if cautiously entering a strangers living space.

Work from  nine  Indonesian and  International artists  will be  showcased during  the  exhibition:

Angki Purbandono

Arya pandjalu

Ines  Katamso

Kokok  Sancoko

Lisa Roet

Maurizio  Vetrugno

Spencer Hansen

S. Teddy

Ugo  Untoro

‘Portable’  will also  mark  the  launch of  a  new   gallery  space for  BIASA  ArtSpace  located on Level  1 of  the  newly  opened BIASA+. The  area   is an  intimate and  friendly  space, allowing visitors to  view and  take  in exhibited art in a light and  calming setting.  The  reveal  of this new area  is part  of the  continuous development of BIASA+ to  promote art, fashion  and  lifestyle.

‘Portable’  will run  from  November 13th  to  December 31st 2014
