SURVIVE!garage will be launching a new space with 'SURVIVE! DAY', an Art Exhibition with Live Music tomorrow from 19:00! Our very own 'Tape' Danang Hpe and Deni Rahman will be contributing artworks for the exhibition. Please go down to support! Here's the address : Jln. Nitiprayan 99 RT3/RW20, Ngestiharjo, Kasihan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. See you there! Deni Rahman represented the studio today by giving a studio tour as part of the 'Focus Tour' segment of YOS 2016, followed by a kids workshop held outdoors. Visitors got a chance to see where all our prints are made in the workshop area. Deni explained to visitors through a step by step demo on how an intaglio print is made with Tere's help. Our little visitors also attempted to make a print with hands on experience with spinning the handle of the etching press in order to better understand how the machine works. Everyone then proceeded outside for the kids workshop, and some did not forget to check out Deni's Printmaking artworks displayed on the studio walls. Tape first demonstrated how a relief print could be produced with a small table press. Deni then showed the kids how they could use found materials in our environment to make prints without using any ink. This technique is called Blind Embossed Printing, where the relief is created by burnishing areas of the object with texture on a piece of slightly damp paper. The paper will dry to retain the impression of the surface being embossed. This also gives the kids an idea of how they can make prints at home without a table press. Here are more photos of the kids in action! And then it came to the end of the session, not without a customary group shot of everyone. Thank you everyone for coming down for the YOS 'Focus Tour' at Grafis Minggiran, and for attending our kids workshop this afternoon! We hope you had as much fun as we did creating blind embossed
prints with Deni at our Grafis Minggiran outdoor studio. See you next time! Dear Friends, the Print Parade #2 catalogues have been published and are ready for distribution! Please come by our studio if you'd like to have one. Alfin has been working on this etching on and off for a couple of months.
We love the details... and we also wonder when he'll complete it! The Printerman exhibition is now on till 22 October 2016 at Asmara Art and Coffee Shop. The result of SDKI's one month stint with Studio Grafis Minggiran in learning Printmaking techniques for the first time is the exhibition, 'The Printerman'. On a lighter note, there's much to do with a few more days to the opening! See you there! To give you a context of this show, we have to introduce you to the late SDKI member, artist S.Teddy.D, who was best known for his peace-loving nature. Teddy passed on earlier in June this year, and this is the first since his death that SDKI got together in the name of brotherhood to continue projects they have thought out before. Teddy's intaglio print made in 2015 will be shown together with the recently produced works by the collective in the exhibtion. Everybody's invited to view the works, which will be held at Asmara Art and Coffee Shop. Exhibition text to sum up the show :
Pameran ini adalah hasil dari perjalanan pertama SDKI ( Steak Daging Kacang Ijo ) dengan menjadi ‘seorang pegrafis’. Mereka mendatangi Studio Grafis Minggiran yang memiliki konsen dan sampai sekarang masih konsisten dalam dunia seni grafis. Mereka belajar dan berkarya bersama tentang teknik Etsa (Etching) yang dimentori langsung oleh Danang Tape salah satu seniman SDKI generasi muda (dan salah satu pegiat Studio Grafis Minggiran) – bahwa dengan kesepakatan semua seniman SDKI siap dimentori sekaligus siap dikomentari. Dalam dunia seni grafis, Etsa merupakan bagian dari kelompok teknik intaglio bersama dengan engraving, drypoint, mezzotint dan aquatint. Etsa kemudian menjadi tandingan Engraving sebagai medium seni grafis yang populer. Kelebihannya adalah, tidak seperti engraving yang memerlukan ketrampilan khusus dalam pertukangan logam, karena Etsa relatif mudah dipelajari oleh seniman yang terbiasa menggambar. Kehadiran SDKI kali ini merupakan pertama kali selepas mangkatnya Teddy – adalah ketakziman dan sebentuk rasa persaudaraan Yustoni dan Bob dengan kekhasannya untuk meneruskan program-program kesenian yang selama ini dibuat dan dimimpikan SDKI. Menggandeng sekaligus merangkul seniman lain (terutama yang masih muda) melakukan proses kreatif bersama agar bisa muncul secara bersama juga. Konsep itu tidak sekedar omong-kosong namun sudah menjadi kesepakatan antar mereka terutama para SDKI tua, yakni Teddy, Bob dan Yustoni, yang mereka sebut brother-hood! Keikutsertaan Teddy ( +rip+) sendiri dalam pameran ini, bagian dari ketakziman kita juga terhadap almarhum sebagai sosok seniman yang telah memperkaya sepak terjang kesenian SDKI. Musik: Steak Daging Kacang Ijo Titik Normal Dubversif ( menggantikan Teknoshit yang berhalangan hadir ) Dendang Kampungan Our members works are on display at the pop up 'Selected Works Showcase' exhibition at Green Art Space, Greenhost Boutique Hotel. If you haven't caught Print Parade #2, you're in luck, as some works by our members will be there for your inspection. Oh, and we forgot to mention, these are etchings on display, and we assure you they look better than these photos! :)
The show runs from 10th September to 24th September 2016. Catch it before it's gone! SDKI has got back together to prepare for a show with a new project, SDKI Attack Studio, where the collective works for a period of time with studios based in Indonesia to produce artworks. For their very first edition of this project, they have chosen to 'attack' Grafis Minggiran! Stay tuned for updates on this project. |
