After the successful launch of Buah Tangan exhibition in the OPPO Art Jakarta Virtual 2020 past October, ISA Art and Design will be presenting a series of large-scale installations by Arahmaiani, Hadassah Emmerich, Hannah Shin, and Sinta Tantra.
The artworks in this exhibition titled ‘SPACES’ use scale as part of their statement. Additionally, this exhibition features exclusively female artists. The female narrative has always been, and still even now, denied space, hence this act of boldly ‘occupying space’ becomes all the more meaningful. Each artist in this exhibition makes sense and utilizes scale in different ways. Some treat it as an archive to their bodies, freeing their gesture from the limitation of a small canvas. Some others use space to comment on the industrial and commodification of the female body.
Through this exhibition, ISA Art and Design is also looking to experiment on space and scale in the virtual realm, with the largest painting by Hadassah Emmerich reaching six metres long in real life, as well as featuring adjusted installation artwork by Arahmaiani.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: HADASSAH EMMERICH
| Portrait taken by Teri Romkey |
|
Hadassah Emmerich is a multidisciplinary artist from the Netherlands that currently works and resides in Brussels, Belgium. She has been commissioned to paint not one, but two colossal murals at the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Jakarta. The first one was done in 2006, where she painted the staircase area with depictions of imaginary tulip-like flowers in the linocut-like line drawing style and batik motifs, coupled with her signature calendar girl figures. The 2018-2019 mural showcases her new style of vinyl print-painting, creating a more industrial colour blend.
Other than painting murals, Emmerich also paints on canvas, or even displays her stencils as an object-installation.
