GoetheKonter – Riau Riung
Exhibition
From October 29 to December 11, 2022, GoetheKonter - Riau Riung presents works by local artists Faqih Allawi, Gandhi Eka, and Yudrika N Adilla at various locations in the Riau district that artistically explore different meanings and functions of the neighborhood.
GoetheKonter is a rhizomatic, collaborative project between the Goethe-Institut Bandung and Indeks that introduces artistic practices to a wide audience by distributing portable, 80 x 40 x 40 cm micro-galleries in the form of glass boxes as temporary exhibitions at various locations in Bandung. The "Konter" part of the project's name derives from Indek's curatorial project "Galeri Konter"; the Indonesian term "Konter" means "showcase" (noun) and "counter" (verb).
In 2022, GoetheKonter - Riau Riung offered participating artists the opportunity to develop artistic works during a six-week incubuationprogram that reinterpret the urban space within a radius of ±1 km or 5-10 minutes walking distance around the Goethe-Institut Bandung. For the exhibition, the three artists will present their new works in three locations they have chosen around the Goethe-Institut Bandung, Yumaju Coffee and Seroja Bake. In addition, they organize public events related to their respective research topics.
