Newcomers to hold teaser exhibition

YOGYAKARTA: A group of four up-and-coming artists -- Danny Stamp, II Made Bhakti Wiyasa, I Made Suparta Wijaya and I Gede Made Surya Darma -- is to hold a three-day joint exhibition at Bale Rupa Sanggar Dewata Indonesia in Tirtonirmolo village, Kasihan Bantul, Yogyakarta.

Open from Aug. 22 to Aug. 24, the exhibition will feature paintings, installations, videos and performance art documentary videos created by the artists.

"As implied in the title, Warming up, we want to introduce ourselves, our identities, through the exhibition before entering the real art world. It's just like an athlete warming up before going into a game to avoid unnecessary injuries," the artists said in a statement.

Through the preliminary exhibition, they said, they hoped to mature intellectually and creatively toward upcoming challenges in their artistic careers. -- JP
