Java's Machine: Phantasmagoria by Jompet Kuswidanato

Jompet Kuswindananto last year participated in Yogyakarta-based Cemeti At Houses's residency program 'Landing Soon #4'. He continued his research on Javanese culture and studied the form and practice of Java's royal soldiers, as a symbol of the particularly Javanese syncretic impulse to merge divergent beliefs and cultures. Jompet's work will be part of the South Project supported exhibition Kompilasi at Bus Gallery in Melbourne, opening on 24 February 2009. The show, curated by Kristi Monfries, Tim O'Donoghue and Georgia Sedgwick, surveys the work of emerging and established contemporary Indonesian artists. For more details visit Bus Gallery's website: www.bus117.com or contact Georgia Sedgwick on georgia_sedgwick@yahoo.co.uk.
