Looking for God

The Inspiration:

The Little Fish*

He came to the Master in sannyasi robes. And he spoke sannyasi language:
“For years
I have been seeking God. I have sought Him everywhere that He is said to be: on
mountain peaks, the vastness of the desert, and the silence of the cloister and the
dwellings of the poor.”
“Have you found him?” the Master asked.
“No. I have not. Have you?”
What could the Master say? The evening sun was sending shafts of golden light into
the room. Hundreds of sparrows were twittering on a banyan tree. In the distance one
could hear the sound of highway traffic. A mosquito droned a warning that it was going
to strike...
And yet this man could sit there and say he had not found Him.
After a white he left, disappointed, to search elsewhere.

"The Song of The Bird" (1982) - Anthony De Mello.

"TV Buddha" (1974) - Nam June Paik.

Salvation in Here

Couple of months ago we went to Niland, California for Harper's Bazaar Indonesia cover & fashion spread photo shoot. This one is from Salvation Mountain.

We got the chance to met Leonard Knight, the man behind the installation art, he made it (as you can see in the background) from adobe, straw & paint to convey the message that "God Loves Everyone." It was also featured in the movie "Into the Wild" directed by Sean Penn.

Once again, Frida Kahlo inspired Anton Ismael to do this work. Big thanks to Izabel Jahja from Harper's Bazaar Indonesia for making this happen.

The Hardest Thing

We are very sad to inform you that the Rorschach exhibition is postponed without further notice.
The exhibition will still be occur but in different time & place.
Please stay tune for the update.

What Do You See?

The Rorschach inkblot test or simply the Inkblot test) is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex scientifically derived algorithms, or both. Some psychologists use this test to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning.

Berangkat dari Rorschach inkblot test, Kami, siswa Kelas Pagi berusaha menginterpretasikan karya photography dari inkblot yang dibuat peserta pameran sesuai dengan imajinasi masing-masing individu.

Pameran ini akan berlangsung 24 MEI-6 JUNI 2010

Unity in Diversity

So here we were at the opening of Unity in Diversity Photo Exhibition. We spend 2 months in Pusat Kebudayaan Rusia, learning about Russian culture through their pictures & comparing it to ours. And then we spent a month for curating & preparing the exhibition.

The director & his wife opened the exhibition thanking their son Eugene and Anton Ismael, without their friendship there will be no cooperation between Kelas Pagi & Pusat Kebudayaan Rusia. And we wouldn't be able to celebrate the 60th anniversary establishment of the diplomatic relations between Indonesia & Russia together. Then we all feast on Madam's delicious homemade Russian food whilst listening to Komunitas Taman Suropati Chamber music. On Friday March 26th we had a visit from Kelas Pagi Yogyakarta & on the closing day we did "Bedah Foto" with Ray Bachtiar & Fendi Siregar.

We also would like to say big thanks to Nikolay, Mbak Dian, Mr. & Madam Director and everyone who came & went to see our exhibition. We simply couldn't ask for more. We thank each & every one of you, and we hope to see you again in the future. Once again, thanks so much everybody!!

The Event

Hey-ho!! Sorry for the delay on updating the blog, but we do have an excuse.. ;)

This is what we've been doing this last couple of months. Kelas Pagi & The Russian Center for Science and Culture in Jakarta are preparing a exhibition involving 2 countries and 100 photos. This event is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Russia. That's why we called it "Unity in Diversity".

The event will take place at Jl. Diponegoro No. 12 Menteng, Jakarta Pusat. It starts at 7 pm Monday the 22th of March and will be open by Oscar Motuloh (Head of Kantor Berita Antara).

It's free entry!! Please do check out our event on facebook page for more info.

So, guess we'll be seeing you soon.. :D

Key to Russia

Since January, we've been frequently visiting Pusat Kebudayaan Rusia at Jalan Diponegoro - Menteng. we are taking part on a project called Key's. In Russian language the word Key means a beginning, a source. So that's exactly what we wanted to do, to start a new kind of relationship between Indonesia & Russia in education program.

We got the chance to learn about their propaganda pictures. Which is what we've been doing this past months in Kelas Pagi Angkatan IV. And we also get to see old Russian photos and pick one of them that we are really drawn into & then we must create a picture to out done them. It seems so hard to do at first, but then we have time to present our work to the class & get comments in return. After all we are going to held an exhibition there next month.

After every class, we get to see Russian short movie originally made by old & young Russian film makers. They also had new photo exhibitions from Russian artist every week there. Fun Stuff!! If you wanna more about it just click to this link. Please stay tune for more info.. ;)
