“Mixed Media Installation by Entang Wiharso. Feast Table: Undeclared Perceptions, 2012 (Cast aluminum, cast brass, Persian carpet)” / ARNDT / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.13954
Two life-sized nude figures with long braided hair stand in front of a table on top of a Persian rug. A feast is served. It is that of a giant fish killed by arrows. The figures appear like tribal natives, but one is holding an umbrella in the modern era. The only thing that can summarize what is seen best is WTF?! This is the kind of works which I adore—things which although my logical unit cannot process, but I know I would love to live with it over time.
This installation is by Indonesian artist Entang Wiharso (b. 1967). There is not much written about him, except that his intention is “to combine personal, Western and Indonesian mythologies and cast a critical eye on the socio-political conditions of his country” — as with most art reviews, not entirely useful unfortunately.
If I have unlimited budget and can bring home any five items from Art Basel Hong Kong though, this would definitely be one of them. But I can’t quite reason why except that crazyisgood!
…Ironically my other favorite artist from the show, Chiharu Shiota, is also represented by ARNDT — trust that if I am ever in the market for some good works, they will be the one for me to visit.
