Sekarat

So the show that Khadir was part of was a success! It was covered in Yogya news and Khadir's work was chosen to represent.  You can read (the Indonesian) here.  Also I was asked to write a little something about it, you can read my response (in English) and see photos of all the works from the show here.

The theme of the show is kind of a pun: taken from an Indonesian word that means being in agony, or literally in the throes of death (sekarat), the word for corrosion, corruption or disintegration of metal or material (karat), and the idea of the karat, the measure of precious stone (the prefix se- in Indonesian means "one").

I really enjoyed a lot of the work, here are two of my favorite pieces, an elegant egg entitled "Protection" and a garbage pirate.

Also, here's Khadir's work installed at the venue, guarded and watched over by none other than Jesus.
