獨立游擊隊

Jakarta, Galeri Nasional, Garis Artspace, Ethnicity Now, December 3- 12, 2010

This work is in good condition, as is the canvas and the wooden frame – which is also part of the work. There are minor indications of wear and handling along the edges and corners, but the condition is sound. The paint layers are well-preserved and stable. Under ultraviolet light examination there were no indications of restoration found. The overall work is brighter with a glossier surface in reality and the texture and embossed text are more prominent in reality. Wooden framed.

『獨立游擊隊專注於時裝、音樂、美術和傳統爪哇主題，講出現今社會對消費主義和品牌之不健康迷戀。流行文化必定聯繫物質主義，社會貪婪地妄想本地及國際經濟的各種消費品… 在精明的市場策略下，這些產物顛覆了文化，此現象給予獨立游擊隊不少靈感。在他們自己品牌和國際流行文化下如滾石樂隊和肯德基一般街知巷聞的名牌間玩遊戲，獨立游擊隊開拓了他們獨立的聲音。「印地」也指「印度」，是當時荷蘭屬殖民地時期對印尼的稱呼，此類文化意識激發他們大膽擺弄身處的物質社會。』
