After Pregnant to Long: its the Time for a make the Dream reliased

Butet Kartaredjasa *

Everyone can dream. Still, everyone should aspire as suggested Bung Karno, "ambition Gantungkanlah stars in the sky-high." For beginian case, to dream and aspire to, representatives of the people we have interested in making the bill to regulate, let alone banned. For this reason, the public art of Yogyakarta, is still justified to build dreams and ideals initiated. No one can restrict a dream, we dream like unto including simple: make Biennale Jogja, permanent two-year celebration once it manifests as a permanent institution.
But, no matter how simple dream, a dream will only be stopped as a dream if not accompanied by concrete actions are aggressive. Dream takes the foot so he could walk. Not just floating. Aggressiveness needed for approximately six years been the dream disunggi. Consideration. Discussed. Spoken in the conference room, and soon forgotten once the dreamer out of the boardroom and back pent routine activities. If the intention to institutionalize Biennale Jogja presumed promiscuity results thinkers, curators, artists, collectors, cultural institutions, - shall we say, "Buntingnya gradually."
Six years nggembol fetus "biennale institutions" certainly not a short time. Now is the time the fetus was in-Brojol a! Dijelmakan!

Repeating mold Classic
The desire to accelerate the birth of "Institute Biennale Jogja" - may be one of the colors exciting news event Biennale Jogja X-2009 this time. In between busy preparing an elaborate celebration routine and tedious, the committee brought together bitter situations, - but the bitter edges that just turned into a blessing. Being a new energy that might seem presumptuous to the committee, - taking care of tasks that should not obligations. Committee should not only organize exhibitions on duty, do not take care adventurous, even insist, institutionalization of business Biennale Jogja?
But, that's what happened. And that's a blessing in disguise.

The situation faced bitter is the reluctance of the committee sponsoring the activity, if the Biennale Jogja X-2009 just run a committee. For them, what it means to give that endorsement if donations do not have eternal value? They worry is like poured donations, if there is no guarantee that contributions will have sustainability that will benefit art world? If handled simply committees, would not that just a moment for celebration, just a rah-rah short-lived.
A sharp cynicism and criticism, committee Assuming no more than a beggar who knocked from one door to another door. What an irony. On one side of the Biennale Jogja can boast about being the oldest biennale activities in Indonesia (it's nine times last consistent), but why were always repeating the classic nature of embarrassing? Begging. Stretch out your hands while selling pity.

Endowment Fund Raising
Biennale Jogja in the future it should become an independent institution. An institution other than the obligation to continue with the implementation Biennale Jogja Taman Budaya Yogyakarta two years, also in charge of raising an endowment fund, and build art infrastructure in Yogyakarta, Indonesia and even. Only then, Biennale Jogja likely relating to the existence of other biennale biennale, international level and will no longer gedabyakan as a beggar for funds when the event arrives.

And when the dream is conveyed to Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, the Governor of Yogyakarta, it was a challenge back, "I strongly agree. Please process the firm makes an institution. I will sign a decree it. But if the artist would consistently do it? "
Approval and challenge the Governor's comforting. Through the agency of art communities obtain his rights due later Biennale Jogja Institute funded budget would be. This is a sign of his reform and democratization efforts. Ideas that in fact the taxpayers, and facilitated a positive response. The challenge of consistency that, inevitably requires the institutionalization of activists and initiators Biennale Jogja working hard to translate dreams into real programs grounded. Not clouds program that resides in the nature of dreams.

Now, as of October 2009 is available six months to give birth Institute Biennale Jogja. Community art - artist, curator, observers, critics, collectors, art dealers, scholars, connoisseurs - who is his stake holder entrusted the committee to sack Governor SK birth gave birth to "baby".

And if the March 2010 "baby" is really wailing on earth, should we celebrate the birth of that. Not the party. But by affirming devotion. That is believed to manage the agency's work with responsibility. The artist, donated his work, painting or sculpture, for raising an endowment fund that would serve for the independence of this new institution.

Its function is returned to
If anything, this is an important moment that will carve the history Biennale Jogja. Right on the implementation of the tenth, the old dream dijelmakan soon. More than that, the committee Biennale Jogja X-2009 to invite the artists to focus on the creation and maximum creativity.

The committee believes, the artist takes the purity of creative ideas. Let their creativity disrupted things outside the case of art, such as the commercial market dynamics which often is tempting. Exempt and sterilize the possibility of contamination of the economy in the creative process. Not without reason if the appeal is declared. Because, for the support of sponsors that are adequate, the committee Biennale Jogja 2009 X-set: "This time there was no sale of the work."
Only with such authority Biennale Jogja awake. Creativity is more honored artist. Biennale Jogja must be returned to its function as a field of creativity of the artist, where the battle of values and presentation ideas. Not frenzied horrendous economic transactions, inviting machination and various suspicions.

In the context of the Biennale Jogja, beginian matter will become the responsibility of the new institutions that would birth, whose one job was done raising an endowment fund, in partnership with Auction Center, galleries, exhibitions or organized fundraising nuanced, and the like. If the success of free ourselves from this economic terkaman considered an achievement, it is fitting we are grateful to a number of parties who provide support to the committee Biennale Jogja X-2009: City Government of Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta Special Region Government, PT Djarum, Ace Hardware (PT Kawan Lama Sejahtera), Metro TV, Botol Sosro, PT. Indosat, Bank BNI, Bank Indonesia, Garuda Magazine, The Jakarta Globe, People's Sovereignty, InfoBank Magazine, Winsor & Newton, Jogja National Museum, Sangkring Art Space, Nadi Gallery, Masterpiece Auction Center, Sidhartha Auction Center, and other parties who in the future as expressed willingness donors and sponsors.
Come, we celebrate creativity!

From the Coffee, Sugar to Dispenser

A celebration called Biennale



If you make a quick stop to the office in the former cafeteria biennale long Taman Budaya Yogyakarta, then there must be people who will welcome you as offering coffee or tea. "Want some coffee toraja, aceh, east Java, or Wamena?" Seabreg kind of coffee will be offered.

This frenzied celebration the biennale that will take place on 10 December. The artists with all the willingness to bring coffee, tea, mugs, cups, sugar, tents, until the dispenser. Office biennale be like a start-up shop by the artists.

Unlike the previous biennale, biennale, biennale this time like "a celebration kampong" typical agrarian culture. Rewangan spirits as neighborly as a family celebration was held in a village. Any artists who contributed and written on the wall biennale office. "Joko discordant cries of 100 packets of coffee, 5 kg of sugar," Diah key Aryo and 1 dispenser, "and so on.

Biennale became a touching incident when a Januri came in the spirit brought coffee, Joko cry intentionally shopping in supermarkets to bring coffee to the office biennale.Seorang artists say "what's hard. Coffee's live capture and carry. "Other artists with spontaneous brought dispenser, a collector immediately phoned his employees to bring a tent to" tongkrongan "in the biennale's office are protected when it rains. Seabreg sugar, tea and coffee that is brewed with by anyone who came into the room.

Previous communal spirit was so strong in times of ASRI Gampingan college seemed to come back. Front of the office space that gives a chance la biennale this shop was busy with the chatter creative ideas antarseniman. Situations that may be missed by many people as the last two years was occupied by the logic of market acceleration. At this point biennale is not just displaying the work, but also room to glue antarperupa social relationships, inter-community. Cultural process, that you might not find elsewhere, even in the next biennale. Do not forget "MAMPIR the biennale's office." (Ade Tanesia)

Biennale Start From TBY Corner

Kompas, Monday, November 9, 2009



In a small room, corner of Taman Budaya Yogyakarta, several artists sat chatting playfully accompanied by glasses of coffee seduhan. Yuswantoro painter Adi, with a bag on his back, suddenly popping into the room. "Samuel is?" He asked.

When he was told that Samuel (Samuel Indratma) is yet to come, Yuswantoro not be entered. He chose to talk on pages chipped. The night started late. One by one artists home, but others came. This place is almost never quiet.

The room size is no more than 4 meters x 8 meters in the corner is the secretariat TBY Biennale Jogja X 2009. The room was opened a month ago and immediately became a place of artists get together, either directly involved in the Biennale or not.

Biennale Jogja, this biennial event, will still be open December 10. However, at the corner of the room was deliberately opened TBY long before the event. The goal for artists to gather and exchange ideas.

Becomes interesting when later it turned into a place of meeting anyone. Not only artists, the public can piped there. Rokhyat and Gandung participate berjibaku busy serving food and drink orders.

But, wait, no mistake. They were not really waitress "ordinary". If you do not believe it, try to copy the message to the Rokhyat LPG. Rohkyat, which is a graphic artist, will bring coffee nasgitel LPG cylinders with the base size of 3 kg.

At first glance looks just Rokhyat officer officers serving food and drink orders, but that becomes unique is that he became peformance art packaging. Bagimana with Gandung? Figure every day shoulder to shoulder with the consumption Rokhyat for business this pedicab is famous among the students Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta.

Chat was smooth because the supply of food and drink in abundance there, free also. Does Biennale organizers have unlimited funds? Not really. When he looked into the whiteboard and plywood boards on the wall, the source was diketahuilah consumption.

Togetherness

Food and beverages were donated by the artists and anyone who visited there. Their names written below the nominal form of money or donations. Some contributors are well-known artists in Jakarta. Many who donate cash, but much more that provide materials, such as instant noodles, sugar, coffee, tea, watermelon, bread, and cakes. In fact, there is also a contributing mugs and spoons.

Actually not the business of food and beverage to their goal coming, but because of brotherhood. "Of all the implementation Biennale, perhaps the first time there was room and conditions in which the artists gathered well before the event was held. It's a good thing and shows that the Biennale is not only limited on the pretext that, "said Rokhyat.

From chatting process, artists will display works in the Biennale got a lot of input from fellow artists. Ipo synthetic, for example. Ipo plans to open a place of relaxation. Those who want to go to hair Ipo digimbal that in the next Biennale will be hung in several places.

"My initial concept hung just at some point. However, there are a lot of input from my friends. They said it would be okay if you wait I will bring the towed bathup bike and tour around. I thought, the idea seemed even better. So tomorrow I'm traveling, "said Ipo.

TBY narrow space is not just a place solely within the physical limits of the building, but it has become the mouth of the meeting and the process of dialogue of ideas and ideas in art. This is the most important than the show itself may be.

Therefore, although the new Jogja Biennale will open December 10, 2009 and will last a month until January 10, 2010, from the point of TBY, Biennale Jogja was held. (PRA)

Later, we also know, "spirit" which has implications for the behavior and aesthetic choices, sued by later generations, as reflected in the "Ge New Art movement" and "Art Kepri ba dian What". Then, trend bird outside the world of art, namely a discussion of his "local" and to "global" in the 1980s has been dragged practices Yogya art.
In this case, the event Biennale Art of Painting I to Art Biennale Jogja IX ijadi can d it as a case study, particularly organizational problems its implementation. To the most contemporary practices of art that can not escape from the urban culture and market trends.
"Based on the spirit which is based in Yogyakarta art history is more than 200 artists will interpret the spirit of the age that has not ditoreh range of artists from the 1940s until the recent era of the 2000s," said Kumi. n
