⚗️ Scents of jasmine, cinnamon, nutmeg… In the upcoming exhibition 'Magical Realism: Imagining Natural Dis/order', @ade_darmawan fills the space with essential oils through distillation processes, creating a visual and sensory analogy for the histories of extraction in colonial Indonesia. At WIELS, the work is reimagined within a visual language evocative of the 1950s to 1960s – a pivotal period of geopolitical and ideological transformation, marked by the emergence of postcolonial nations.   Join artist and @ruangrupa co-founder Ade Darmawan in conversation with art historian @philippe_pirotte on Thursday 29 May, the day after the opening. Learn more about the invisible forces that shape historical memory and how material processes can become tools for questioning dominant narratives and power structures. The conversation will be moderated by co-curator @helenakritis .   Sign up via the link in bio!

Ade Darmawan’s first solo exhibition in Indonesia in 12 years, 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, is now open 🛢️. Taking its cue from Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s book 𝘈𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘉𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘬 (1995), the exhibition continues Darmawan’s consistent engagement with models of production and consumption that course through political-historical narratives in Indonesia. Across the exhibition, various forms of distillation reduce various materials that feature in Toer’s text—soil, clover, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.—into essence, as scent or oil. Darmawan’s cocktails and contraptions become experiments in poetic representations of Indonesia’s histories of extraction, beginning with the VOC’s occupation of sea routes to resource-driven attitudes toward nature in our present. 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 prompts us to consider the legacies of Indonesia’s shifting identity from a maritime to an agrarian-led society, as an identity driven by a history of industry and policy.

“Water Resistance” Solo Exhibition | Pameran Tunggal: Ade Darmawan Opening | Pembukaan: 27 June 2024 (at Cemeti) 6 July 2024 (at ROH, by invitation) Exhibition | Pameran: 27 June - 3 August, 2024 (at Cemeti) 7 July - 4 August, 2024 (at ROH) [EN] After over two decades, through “Supply and Demand (2003), Human Resource Development (2012), Magic Centre (2015), and Doing Business with the Dutch (2018) Ade Darmawan’s long-term research on the constant relationship of production and consumption through political-historical narratives in Indonesia has entered a new stage. The exhibition “Water Resistance” became the mark of this new stage, which used Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s book Arus Balik (1995) as a starting point to delve more into the relationship between human production and consumption. While the novel focuses on retracing maritime culture from a historical perspective, especially the pre-colonial history of Indonesia, Darmawan depicts this shifting moment to land culture (agriculture and plantation) through senses and olfactory or bau. Darmawan’s artictic approach to materiality combines ready-made industrial and domestic materials with intangible materials like scents, poetically capturing humans’ extractive relationship to nature. The smell that comes from the distillation process of the natural resources then lingers as the remnants of the past. The one you can feel and trigger your senses as if there is no other physical evidence of the maritime past.
