Rocking Indonesia: The Cultural Legacy Of The Rolling Stones In Bandung
TheCube is honored to invite Muhammad Irfan, a writer and pop music researcher from Indonesia, to curate the exhibition Rocking Indonesia: The Cultural Legacy of the Rolling Stones in Bandung. The exhibition features archival materials, works and participation of sound artist Rama Saputra, visual artist Mufti 鈥淎menk鈥� Priyanka, performance artist Wawan Christiawan, and Irama Nusantara.
In recent years, Indonesian contemporary and sound artists have increasingly attracted global attention. For example, the music projects of the 2022 Kassel Documenta and the 2023 Taipei Biennale have invited artists and curators from Indonesia. However, many Taiwanese audiences are still wondering why Indonesia has such strong creative energy. The exhibition Rocking Indonesia: The Cultural Legacy of the Rolling Stones in Bandung hopes to explore the source of Indonesia鈥檚 artistic creativity from a bottom-up perspective, looking into daily lives and popular culture of Indonesian society. The city of Bandung is the place where 鈥淏andung Conference鈥� was held, an event that gave birth to the concept of 鈥淪outh鈥�.
This exhibition integrates archives, sound, painting and performance, and will run from August 30 to October 27, during which there will be public events such as performances and lectures. In addition, Bandung artist 鈥淎menk 鈥�, who was famous for combining ink painting and comic techniques, passed away due to illness during the preparation of this exhibition. We would like to dedicate this exhibition to 鈥淎menk 鈥�.
