Rasa menyenangkan muncul, melihat tata pajang karya yang menyelinap, menyesuaikan ruang, juga tidak terduga untuk sebuah karya drawing milik Fffffandy. Strange Currencies adalah pameran tunggal terbaru Fffffandy, seorang desainer grafis sekaligus seniman yang kerap menggugah rasa penasaran, membawakan tema sarkas, dan pandangan personal dalam karyanya. Gagasannya berangkat dari kehidupan yang dijalani dalam kondisi sementara yang terus berlangsung. Dalam keadaan seperti ini, bertahan hidup sering kali terjadi melalui negosiasi terus-menerus, tidak karena sepenuhnya bebas, tetapi karena situasi yang terasa mengekang.
Secara umum, manusia punya rumah, ada alamat tinggal, yang dibentuk menjadi sebuah ketetapan. Namun tak semua, bagi Fffffandy, pengalaman perpindahan setelah kerusuhan 1998 di Indonesia mengubah pemahaman tersebut. Setelah tinggal di luar negeri dan kemudian kembali, rumah tidak lagi dipahami sebagai tujuan yang stabil atau pencapaian yang diperoleh melalui kepemilikan. Menjadi sebuah lika-liku yang adaptif dan penuh sementara.
Rasa ini tertuang pada karya drawing, objek furnitur, dan pendekatan yang dilakukan pada penataan karya. Terasa ringkih, hanya ditempatkan, juga ketidaknyamanan. Logika yang sama terlihat pada furnitur seperti kursi yang dirancang hampir tidak berfungsi sepenuhnya, sehingga tubuh yang menggunakannya tetap berada dalam keadaan menyesuaikan diri. Pendekatan artistik yang diterjemahkan dalam bentuk struktur ekspos, adanya plastik pelindung, dan ketidakutuhan, adalah intrepretasi dari negosiasi yang tiada ujung. Dalam Strange Currencies, rumah tidak lagi dipahami sebagai tujuan akhir, melainkan sebagai kondisi yang terus dirakit melalui kompromi kecil yang sering kali tak terlihat.

In ꜱᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴄɪᴇꜱ, Fffffandy’s figures — especially in his Head Check series — register a quiet, sustained fatigue. They do not seek resolution or transcendence; instead, they remain in a condition of carrying on.
Formed through cycles of negotiation and compromise, these heads absorb discomfort rather than perform it. Humour appears subtly — not as relief, but as a working method, a small internal currency that makes endurance possible.
On view until 29 March. Come by and spend time with the works — they’re best encountered slowly~

Some of our favourite snaps from the opening of ꜱᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴄɪᴇꜱ earlier this month!
Building on @fffffandy ’s ongoing reflections around home 🏠 — as attachment, as ambition, as a structure that both holds and burdens — the presentation extends that inquiry into the realm of exchange. What do we accumulate, and at what cost? How do desire and attachment shape the ways we assign value to objects, labour, and even to one another?
If home is the first site where we learn what to keep, what to protect, and what to let go of, then ꜱᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴄɪᴇꜱ asks what happens when those intimate economies spill outward.
Thank you to everyone who came, stayed 🪑, and moved through these questions with us.

In Fffffandy’s furniture, domestic objects operate as carriers of habitus and become bodily proxies shaped by use. His chairs—conventionally associated with rest—are designed to barely function as furniture: they can be sat on, but never settled into, mirroring a body accustomed to coping rather than relaxing as comfort is deliberately withheld. In several drawings, chairs also appear misaligned or obstructive, operating less as supports than as provisional structures, recording how endurance is learned through repeated use.

We’re back with another solo presentation by Fffffandy. 🙂🙂
Home is the earliest structure we inhabit, shaping how we learn to adapt, endure, and make sense of limitation. Over time, these learned adjustments harden into habit, informing why permanence is so often idealised—ownership over lease, settlement over mobility, rootedness over movement. Stability promises familiarity: a way of knowing how to be.
For Fffffandy, home no longer takes the form of a fixed architecture. Marked by displacement and sustained through temporary arrangements, it emerges instead as an ongoing negotiation. ꜱᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴄɪᴇꜱ reflects this logic of living—where staying requires continual trade-offs, and endurance becomes a mode of survival rather than resolution.
Join us for the opening next Saturday.
