Taru Bingin - Balinese Contemporary Exhibition

Titled after the Balinese name for the Banyan Tree, a species of plant that is considered sacred in Bali, the

exhibition reflects the lateral spread and interconnectedness of Balinese art and culture. Like the Banyan

Tree, contemporary Balinese artists draw upon the past and present, creating new trunks and branches

with a unique relation to their cultural heritage. The exhibition features a wide range of mediums,

including painting, sculpture, installation, video, and performance, by artists of different generations

and backgrounds, including Arie Smit, Chusin Setiadikara, Dabi Arnasa, Didin Jirot, Gede Mahendra Yasa, I GAK Murniasih, I Nyoman Darya, Ines Katamso, Luh Gede, Jemana Murti, Kevin Jordanus, Made Wiguna Valasara, Sinta Tantra, and Victoria Kosasie.These artworks explore a variety of themes and issues, from social concerns to personal experiences and emotions.
