Text Excerpt


Bahasa Kawi/Kuno


In English

The subject of art as a universal language, as a bridge of connection, is constant here in Sawidji. for the most part, we see the phenomenon of the creative process bridging social, cultural, emotional and mental distances. Perhaps it is a human precondition to want to establish separations. We are a species that tends to find comfort in our territories, often struggling to feel a sense of security in unfamiliar areas. Perhaps the segmentation that happens within social strata, academic, political and artistic fields is a byproduct of this inherent nature.

Yet we are seeking connection, we are not singular creatures. In the natural order, we are not a species that survives alone. We are social animals that contradict ourselves in our behaviours often.

Street Art, the Fate of the Outcast

When looking at how we categorise and judge criteria in art there is one segment of art that is perhaps the most prominent outcast. Positioned precariously on the outskirts of legitimacy often denounced. Graffiti and variations of street art have a history of being an undesirable, misfit. With all the connotations of anarchy and rebellion, it is mostly seen as a form of vandalism. It is the only segment of visual expression that is categorically in opposition to the law.

Over the last decade or two, as a subculture, street art has continued to grow, with growing understanding and appreciation. In itself, it is part of our collective social consciousness. Undeniably part of the whole, even when labelled ‘outcasts’, they are not separate. They represent something that cannot be denied as being part of our social identity.

Subjek seni sebagai bahasa universal, sebagai jembatan penghubung, selalu ada di Sawidji. Secara umum, kita melihat fenomena proses kreatif yang menjembatani jarak sosial, budaya, emosional, dan mental. Mungkin keinginan untuk melakukan pemisahan adalah prasyarat manusia. Kita adalah spesies yang cenderung menemukan kenyamanan di wilayah kita, seringkali berjuang untuk merasakan rasa aman di wilayah asing. Mungkin segmentasi yang terjadi dalam strata sosial, bidang akademis, politik, dan seni merupakan akibat dari sifat inheren ini.

Namun kami mencari koneksi, kami bukan makhluk tunggal. Dalam tatanan alam, kita bukanlah spesies yang bertahan hidup sendirian. Kita adalah makhluk sosial yang sering kali melakukan kontradiksi dalam perilaku kita.

Seni Jalanan, Nasib Orang Terbuang

Ketika melihat bagaimana kita mengkategorikan dan menilai kriteria dalam seni, ada satu segmen seni yang mungkin paling terbuang. Posisinya yang berada di pinggiran legitimasi sering kali dikecam. Grafiti dan variasi seni jalanan memiliki sejarah yang tidak diinginkan dan tidak sesuai. Dengan segala konotasi anarki dan pemberontakan, hal ini sebagian besar dilihat sebagai bentuk vandalisme. Ini adalah satu-satunya segmen ekspresi visual yang secara kategoris bertentangan dengan hukum.

Selama satu atau dua dekade terakhir, sebagai sebuah subkultur, seni jalanan terus berkembang, dengan pemahaman dan apresiasi yang semakin meningkat. Hal ini sendiri merupakan bagian dari kesadaran sosial kolektif kita. Tidak dapat disangkal bahwa mereka adalah bagian dari keseluruhan, bahkan ketika diberi label ‘orang buangan’, mereka tidak terpisah. Mereka mewakili sesuatu yang tidak dapat disangkal sebagai bagian dari identitas sosial kita.
