Speaker’s Biography

Please join us on Monday at 15.00 hrs at Cemeti Institute for the second edition of Ngaji Bunyi–Does Sound Matter?, a series of three study sessions focussing on sound, initiated by artist Julian Abraham “Togar” in the context of his solo exhibition ~IIINNNGGG~ at Cemeti. The first Ngaji Bunyi-Does Sound Matter by Togar took place on 2 December 2018 at Masjid Jendral Sudirman, and can now be viewed in a video installation at Cemeti.

For the second Ngaji Bunyi–Does Sound Matter?, Togar has invited researcher Jack Simanjuntak (Jakarta) and curator Bob Edrian (Bandung) to each share their ongoing research concerning sound. Jack Simanjuntak will focus on the relation between sound and space, spatial characteristics, psychoacoustics and soundscapes in relation to the theme of the exhibition. Bob Edrian will discuss his experience of curating sound art exhibitions, address the history of sound art in Indonesia, and talk about success and failure, the practicalities of exhibiting sound art and the politics of space. The study session will be moderated by curator Grace Samboh.

Ngaji Bunyi–Does Sound Matter #2 is part of ~IIINNNGGG~, a solo exhibition by Julian Abraham “Togar” at Cemeti – Institute for Art and Society (7 December 2018-9 January 2019), which builds on the artist’s ongoing research into the physical, technological, historical and socio-political aspects of sound.
