Green Zone: Seeking Security

(5/13/2006)

Six years after their very successful collaboration in Tri Taksu, a three artists exhibition at Jakarta's Galeri Ina - I Wayan Wirawan, I Gusti Ngurah Udiantara and I Wayan Sudarna Putra were desirous to once again combine visions and energies for another three-man show.

While staging another combined exhibition appears at first glance to be a relatively straight forward matter to conclude, the actual execution of the plan proved much more problematic. How to discover a common theme equally interesting to each artist? How to foster the process and the vision of a shared exhibition that will actually permit the enterprise to come into existence? Is the same spirit that inspired the first exhibition still intact after 6 years of separation and diverse personal artistic development?

Green Zone: Mendamba Kenyamanan

Green Zone: Mendamba Kenyamanan or Green Zone: Seeking Security - represents the respective sensitivities of three young Balinese artists to environmental issues.

Artists exploring their environment is a sufficiently generic theme to risk being mundane; however, in the current instance the three artists have managed to plumb new creative depths with their latest exhibition. The end result is a moving and memorable statement reflecting the frustration of 3 artists considering the current state of the world around them.

Green Zone: Mendamba Kenyamanan an exhibition by - I Wayan Wirawan, I Gusti Ngurah Udiantara and I Wayan Sudarna Putra will run from June 17 until July 18, 2006 at the Green House Restaurant at Pertiwi Resort and Spa in Ubud.
