Press Release

Gajah Gallery proudly presents Contemplating Alternatives. Turning the spotlight on Indonesian women artists at the onset of their careers, this curatorial premise frames their work through the lens of alternative paths that women artists before them have carved—and how, whether consciously or subconsciously, they are similarly beginning to plant alternatives both for themselves and for a future generation of women artists working in Indonesia, through their own distinct practices.

The exhibit then explores the unique ways these alternate perspectives and practices are present in their work: from alternate depictions of femininity and roles of women beyond domesticity; insights into the distinct traditions, philosophies, and spiritualities from which they come; expressions of nature and the familiar landscapes they inhabit, altering their relationship to their environments; ways of seeing their own abstract, interior landscapes; to ways of recalling and retelling their pasts and stories.

Ultimately, the exhibit illuminates how the search for alternatives must constantly be critiqued and sustained, taking into account the value of both continuity and change, in order to carve a more fruitful, inclusive, and hopeful future for women artists in Indonesia.

About the Gallery
Launched in 2015, Gajah Gallery – Yogyakarta is the main Gallery’s outpost located within a major arts hub in Indonesia. The space expands the Gallery’s mission in actively promoting and representing Southeast Asian contemporary art in the international platform. Through dynamic exhibitions that gather artists across the region, the Gallery fosters a space for critical discourse among diverse artists and audiences. Furthermore, the space is adjunct to the Yogya Art Lab (YAL), a major initiative that enables both emerging and prominent artists to come together and collaborate with local craftsmen; experiment with a variety of media ranging from paper, sculpture, performance, to digital art; and produce fresh work that push beyond the limits of their oeuvre. Gajah Gallery – Yogyakarta is thus a space that nurtures artists’ creative process and finished output, giving them the stage to play, expand, and thrive.
