Mythical Roots - Rodel Tapaya Solo Exhibition
Jun 26 - Jul 26, 2009
In this exhibition Mythical Roots, Tapaya ventures as a bard, part Carlos Francisco, part Brenda Fajardo, that remembers and recounts the myths of creation: the great flood, the first woman, the primordial fire, the genesis of the banana plant, and other foundational fictions of the universe. And what makes Tapaya's work important and valuable is a certain flair in speaking to a folk aesthetic, which is not to be mistaken for a forced provincial, vernacular style. It might be part of his own humble sensibility, a particular homespun attitude toward the everyday life of his milieu as can be gleaned in a previous series. -

AMONG OTHERS - Recent Works by Budi Kustarto
Dec 27, 2008 - Jan 18, 2009
The representation of the self-body in Budi Kustarto’s work is about a never ending self-identification project. Budi Kustarto has started to do this tendency since 2003 when he who is formally well trained as a sculptor, cast his own body as a model for his self-representation sculptures. Budi Kustarto, then transfers his three dimensional self-representation works including its attached issues on the existence of body’s scale, space and dimension into a painting project. -
Transparency Happiness - Natee Utarit Solo Exhibition

Natee's sense of memory and the past led him to the mystification of western civilization in the Asian context: First, a sense of the past, and childhood, in his reference to antique prints and toys; secondly, myths in Thai culture; and finally, Western influence in Thai (and world) history.
