ABSTRAKSI / ABSTRACT

Knowing Your Neighborhood : My Residency in a City Community in Siheung, Korea
Knowing Your Neighborhood : Residensi Saya dalam Sebuah Komunitas di Siheung, Korea

Knowing Your Neighbourhood is a project to recognize who is actually our neighbor and what is around us. I try to communicate with them in a one month residency period. I started with identifying the smallest being that I found and analyzed it through a hand-made microscope, and later moved on to larger beings such as insects and plants. Afterwards I also tried to interact and get to know the people around me.

Knowing Your Neighbourhood adalah project untuk mengetahui siapa sebenarnya tetangga kita dan apa saja yang ada disekitar. Saya berupaya untuk berkomunikasi dengan sesamanya dalam waktu satu bulan residensi. Saya memulai dengan mengidentifikasi makhluk terkecil yang saya temui dan mengamatinya melalui mikroskop buatan dan kemudian ke makhluk yang lebih besar seperti serangga, tumbuhan. Setelah itu saya mencoba berinteraksi dan mengenal dengan orang orang sekitar.

Introduction and Practical Tips on Artist-In-Residence Programs in Korea

Pengenalan dan Tips Praktis mengenai Program Residensi Seniman di Korea

The artist-in-residence programs in Korea first appeared during the Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s with the aim of supporting local artists by providing free studio space. Through the last 15 years of development and acheivement of the Korean residency programs, in terms of its great numbers of new operating institutions and the distinctiveness of each program, the artist-in-residence program in Korea has become an opportunity for an artist to meet new fellow artist friends from all over the world, to be exposed to international curators and art exhibitors, and  to networkwith the local communities.

In this art talk, I will introduce several artist residency programs, located in different cities in Korea, which offer international residencies. I will focus on the details of the programs and the application process to help Indonesian artists who are looking for a new challenge .

Program residensi seniman di Korea pertama kali diadakan pada masa krisis Asia di akhir tahun 90an yang bertujuan mendukung seniman lokal dengan memberikan ruang studio gratis bagi mereka. Dalam 15 tahun perkembangan dan pencapaian program residensi di Korea, dalam artian pesatnya pertambahan jumlah institusi yang beroperasi dan keragaman tiapprogramnya, program residensi di Korea telah menjadi sebuah kesempatan bagi seniman untuk bertemu teman seniman lain dari seluruh dunia, dan memperkenalkan mereka pada kurator dan penyelenggara pameran skala internasional dan menjalin hubungan dengan komunitas setempat.

Dalam bincang seni ini, saya akan memperkenalkan beberapa program residensi seniman yang bertempat di berbagai kota di Korea yang menawarkan residensi internasional. Saya akan memfokuskan bahasan pada detil program dan proses pendaftaran untuk membantu seniman Indonesia yang sedang mencari tantangan yang baru dalam berkarya.

About Art Talk Series 3 – Artist-in-Residence Program

Tentang Bincang Seni Ketiga – Program Residensi Seniman

An artist’s creative activity no longer  flourishes solely in his own studio or his own area. As in a nomadic life, an artistic life is open to the world, encountering a new culture as an inspiration that leads to unique experimentations. In this respect, residency programs that make it possible to ‘exchange’ and ‘communicate’ between the artists of different backgrounds becomes an important opportunity for young artists, and also a necessary process of socialization. Through the experience of artist and curator, Art Talk #3 will provide young Indonesian artists with useful information on the various international residency programs offered in South Korea, a country putting an effort into rediscovery of the value of Asia and the exchanges between Asian countries.

Aktivitas kreatif seniman kini tidak lagi berkembang di dalam studio atau kawasannya sendiri.seperti halnya kehidupan nomaden, kehidupan artistik terbuka kepada dunia, bertemu dengan budaya yang baru sebagai inspirasi yang mengantar kepada eksperimentasi yang unik. Dalam cara pandang inilah maka program residensi yang memungkinkan adanya “pertukaran” dan “komunikasi” antar seniman dari latar yang berbeda menjadi kesempatan dan proses sosialisasi yang baik bagi seniman muda. Melalui pengalaman dari seniman dan kurator, Bincang Seni #3 akan memberikan informasi yang bermanfaat bagi seniman muda di Indonesia mengenai berbagai program residensi internasional yang ditawarkan oleh Korea Selatan, sebuah negara yang sedang berusaha menemukan kembali nilai-nilai Asia dan pertukaran antara negara-negara Asia,
