Silver Lining: Art Moments Jakarta Online 2

ISA Art & Design presents “Silver Lining”, an exhibition exploring eight Indonesian artists who have a different perspective as to how they view contemporary life through the lens. These artists include Alexander Thian, Andre Wiredja, Hardijanto Budiman, Chaerul Umam, Dilla Djalil Daniel, Alexander Sebastianus, Reza Kutjh, Nico Dharmajungen.

The phrase “Silver Linings” originated from John Milton’s classic poem Comus, written in 1634. "Was I deceived? or did a sable cloud/Turn forth her silver lining on the night?" From that early reference, the term “Silver Linings” is a metaphor for optimism, which means each negative occurrence may have a positive aspect. “Silver Linings” is also a connecting line for works by the photographers to capture an image using their specific style to deliver contrasting meaning from the initial object. In addition to the contrasting meanings in this exhibition, there is a diversity in the medium, method, equipment and editing processes.

Collecting photography is a new medium experience for many collectors. But 21st century photography is about the artist's stories through a contemporary medium. Many of these photographers are internationally acclaimed artists, winning prestigious awards worldwide.

This exhibition will be launched online on November 22nd, 2021, during Art Moments, and the physical exhibition will open on 10th-12th December at ISA Gallery, Wisma 46 Jakarta. AMJ is an Art Fair that showcases contemporary, modern, and traditional artworks. AMJO’s aim is to accelerate Jakarta as a world-class art destination.
