'Barong' exhibit to be held

DENPASAR, Bali: Eighty artists from Java and Bali will
showcase their interpretations of the mythical barong and legong
dances in an exhibit entitled Legong-Barong-Self-Portrait.

The joint exhibit, to be opened by the governor of Bali on
Jan. 28, will be held at the Danlin Gallery in Mas, Ubud village
until Feb. 28.

Exhibit coordinator Antonius Kho said that the barong and the
legong dances are not merely symbols of Balinese culture, but
offer cross-cultural insight for non-Balinese artists.

The exhibit will feature artists from Jakarta, Bandung,
Yogyakarta, Solo, Surabaya, and Bali, including Popo Iskandar,
Redha Sorana, I Nyoman Darsana, and Liem Cu Ing. (Dini S. Djalal)
