Tintin’s recent projects offers essential context, illuminating the interconnectednessbetween national happenings and the influence and complicity of external forces. Theyreveal how these forces have moulded Indonesia’s modern history’s socio-political contours.In this way, her work establishes a dialogue between the personal and political, betweenhidden histories and communal memory, and between the banality of everyday life andthe extraordinary events that shape it. This preoccupation can be seen across all of theworks within this exhibition. (Aaron Seeto, December 2023)
BAIK ART Jakarta is pleased to present Tintin Wulia: Disclosures. Tintin Wulia is anIndonesian Australian artist whose work reflects on globalisation and geopolitics and usespersonal stories to unpick and lay them bare. For over 20 years she has researched thehistories that have been told by the world’s dominant narrators, scrutinising their blindspots and systemic inequities and retelling them from nonconforming perspectives. Tintin’srecounting brings the past powerfully into the present and centres it on the voices of theperiphery. Her works decode, reinterpret and represent history, orienting us to the currentglobal situation in an effort to help collectively navigate towards a more socially justfuture.
Tintin Wulia: Disclosures is presented in parallel with Tintin Wulia: Secrets at RMIT Gallery,Melbourne. It is prepared in conjunction with Tintin’s artistic research project at theUniversity of Gothenburg entitled Protocols of Killings: 1965, distance, and the ethics offuture warfare, funded by the Swedish Research Council (2020-02828), and is co-supportedby various institutions and collaborators.
