“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” ― Edgar Degas
Everybody has their own reason to do something or to go somewhere.
But how many reason do we need to do that?
Just take a look at this amazing poster and maybe you can count how many reasons...

*description based on photo*:
Back in its third edition, the “Exi(s)t” programme is an opportunity for emerging Jakarta-based artists to participate in a series of workshops and an exhibition with a specific curatorial theme. This time, the participating artists are Aditya Pratama Putra, Nastasha Abigail, Monica Hapsari, Ryan Salim, Rio Surya Prasetia, Ivan Christanto dan Edita Atmaja. “Exi(s)t #3: Here, Together” aims to unpack the complex network of understandings about the spaces and places we inhabit together, by inviting the artists to create works in response to the question of how our surrounding environment shapes our sense of identity.
I''ve count my own reasons:
1. I wanna see Rio Surya Prasetia photography and object instalation
2. I wanna see Ivan Christianto miror variable demension
3. The stairs.. *of course you can't go to dia.lo.gue before taking a picture at the most sought after strairs in J-town.
I think that 3 main reasons (at first) is quite enough to see this exhibition.
So I walked in the dia.lo.gue from the back door and this is the first instalation that "say hi " to me:
1. Rio Surya Prasetia photography and object instalation.
As you can see this is a sneak peak of a family room.
His family room. A room with full of culture and believes.
But the first photo from left is my fave part: where he take a photo, zoom in a particular part, and combine it with another photos.
2. Aditya Pratama - "Tanah Tindih"
Once you look at this instalation, you'll definietly fall in love with the details!
Amazing!
3. Edita Atmaja - "Toko Bunga 'Anggrek'"
Most women loves flowers, but the real flowers is to boring. So you can see the Edita Atmaja's 'flowers. With the illustration, she reproduce the flower that we can arrange.
You can not find flowers like this. Amazing!
6. Natasha Abigail- "Intervensi"
Beside Edita Atmaja, you'll see Natasha Abigail's "Intervensi".
She used a video to intervene some photos to break the boundaries.
7. Ryan Salim -Pecahan Memori (Scattered Memories) and Monica Hapsari -
The end is the beginning is not the end is the beginning is not the end.
Across the Edita and Natasha's instalation you'll find a dark room just take a few step and you'll find the light from Ryan Salim -Pecahan Memori (Scattered Memories) and Monica Hapsari -
The end is the beginning is not the end is the beginning is not the end.
8.Ivan Christianto
Not like other instalations, Ivan Christianto "Beranda" is the only outdoor instalation in this exhibition and because the heavy rain, I can not see this great instalation. It cover with the plastic to cover it from the pouring rain.
I can't help myself but take a bow and give a standing ovation for these AMAZING artists.
Seriously, every and each one of you and your instalation is AMAZING!! *I don't know how much I said amazing in this entry*
You should come and see it with your own eyes guys!!
