Join Centre A, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, and OCAD University for a conversation with ruangrupa and GUDSKUL, \u201cOn Lumbung\u201d, on sharing, solidarities, collectivity, and the lumbung as method towards sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n

ruangrupa<\/span><\/a> is a Jakarta-based collective established in 2000 and are curators of the upcoming documenta fifteen<\/span><\/a> in Kassel, Germany. As a non-profit organization that strives to support the idea of art within urban and cultural context ruangrupa involves artists and other disciplines such as social sciences, politics, technology, media, etc., to give critical observation and views towards Indonesian urban contemporary issues. ruangrupa also produce collaborative works in the form of art projects such as exhibitions, festivals, art labs, workshops, research projects, as well as books, magazines and online-journal publications.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an artists\u2019 collective, ruangrupa has been involved in many collaborative and exchange projects, including participating in big exhibitions such as Gwangju Biennale (2002 & 2018), Istanbul Biennial (2005), Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (Brisbane, 2012), Singapore Biennale (2011), S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial (2014), Aichi Triennale (Nagoya, 2016) and Cosmopolis at Centre Pompidou (Paris, 2017). In 2016, ruangrupa curated TRANSaction: Sonsbeek 2016 in Arnhem, NL.<\/span><\/p>\n

From 2015-18, ruangrupa co-developed a cultural platform Gudang Sarinah Ekosistem together with several artists\u2019 collectives in Jakarta, located at Gudang Sarinah warehouse, Pancoran, South Jakarta. It is a cross-disciplinary space that aims to maintain, cultivate and establish an integrated support system for creative talents, diverse communities, and various institutions. In 2018, learning from their experience establishing Gudang Sarinah Ekosistem and together with Serrum and Grafis Huru Hara, ruangrupa co-initiated GUDSKUL: contemporary art collective and ecosystem studies<\/span><\/a> (or GUDSKUL, in short, pronounced similarly like \u201cgood school\u201d in English). It is a public learning space established to practice an expanded understanding of collective values, such as equality, sharing, solidarity, friendship and togetherness.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this lecture, members from ruangrupa and GUDSKUL will expand on the concept of the lumbung, an Indonesian term for a communal rice barn, as a model for creative and artistic practices they have developed throughout the years and the iterations their collective practices have gone through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
