[Loreng] Kisah dari Jejak Citra Harimau Indonesia: Publikasi 125.660 Spesimen Sejarah Alam
125.660 Spesimen Sejarah Alam merupakan iterasi pertama proyek kuratorial mengenai koleksi kolonial dan perubahan lingkungan yang kami hasilkan. Pameran ini akan menelusuri kembali perjalanan Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) yang tersohor setelah menemukan teori evolusi seleksi alam. Selama periode tahun 1854–1862, Wallace menjelajahi Kepulauan Nusantara, mendokumentasikan keanekaragaman hayati dan menghimpun koleksi dalam jumlah luar biasa untuk dipamerkan di berbagai museum di Eropa.
Kami mengajak para rekan-rekan seniman sekalian untuk menelusuri, menyesuaikan, dan menaksir kembali dokumen maupun artefak dari pameran ini. Dengan menampilkan karya seni berdampingan dengan materi arsip pilihan, pameran ini mempertanyakan bagaimana pergerakan pengetahuan mentransformasi lingkungan melalui praktik-praktik kolonial dan kontemporer.
125,660 Specimens of Natural History is an art and science exhibition about colonial collections, the environmental transformations they produced, and the legacy of these activities, known as the Anthropocene. The exhibition follows the course of Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913), best known for co-discovering the theory of evolution by natural selection. From 1854–62, Wallace traveled the Malay archipelago, documenting the region’s biodiversity and amassing a gigantic collection of specimens for European museums. The exhibition invites artists to retrace, re-appropriate, or reassess the expedition, its documents, and artifacts; 13 Indonesian artists and 11 international artists will examine the mobility of colonial knowledge and the transformations of the landscape these research practices left behind. By presenting newly created contemporary artworks alongside an extensive selection of archival and scientific materials (on loan from the Indonesian Institute of Science/LIPI), the exhibition considers how the mobility of knowledge has transformed the environment of Indonesia, and how trans-cultural collaborative approaches to artistic and scientific practice can address urgent environmental questions.
