Seniman adalah yang mengingat, menyerap apa endapan dari hidup dan masa kita.
Artists remember. They absorb the sediments and residue of our life and of our time.
Permutasi paparan “apa” melalui “siapa,” menjadi tangkapan gejolak fenomena yang bernama menjadi manusia.
Dalam hidup menyuruk, yang kita serap serta cabang narasinya menjadi berganda tak terhingga. Ideal kita ditata ulang dalam perkontakan dengan dunia terdekat dan dunia dalam. Fragmen yang ada berlomba untuk jadi signifikan walau niscaya tidak pernah utuh ketika berkejaran dengan waktu. Kejadian terus berjalan dan tanda tempat kita berpegang jadi goyah. Alih-alih menambah dan memberi makna dengan sederhana dan jelas, dalam jenuhnya ruang dekat ini kita menemukan diri kita menimpa satu di atas yang lain—bahkan menghapus, ketika yang ada saling meniadakan.
Aditya Novali dan Davy Linggar dalam “iso” menampilkan upaya menangkap dan memahami peragian waktu dan pikiran itu. Dalam beragam paparan dan dorongan imajerial, yang bisa jadi tidak pernah utuh namun menggugah dan memberi penanda di atas kepekaan-kepekaan. Dalam bingkai dan lapisan kisah masing-masing yang ada merupakan tangkapan atas visibility dari dunia yang berubah.

Permutating exposures of the “what” through the “whom”, they capture what it means to be human.
It is almost paradoxical, then, that during this more withdrawn time of life, that we become more exposed to the seemingly infinite possibilities of forking narratives unfolding in states of flux around us. Our ideals are reconfigured in relation to our contact with our immediate surroundings, as well as our inner psyche. What we perceive as ontological fragments compete with each other to become significant though never reaching a state of equilibrium in its race with time. Events and incidents around us continue to move at a frenzied pace, while the anchor points we struggle to hold on to remain unsteady. Instead of expanding and providing clarity of fundamental meaning, we find ourselves instead saturated by our enclosed spaces, with our own ideas of identity stacking on top of each other—at times even overwriting that which exists into non-existence.
In “iso”, Aditya Novali and Davy Linggar present an effort to capture and comprehend a certain fermentation of thoughts and time. Through an array of approaches and imagerial impulses, that which may come into being never becomes whole, yet evoke and indexes certain more esoteric sensibilities inherent in their respective points of view. It is through the framing and layering of stories present in their works that capture a certain visibility of a changed world.

Aditya Novali
Aditya Novali (b. 1978) is an artist based in Surakarta, Indonesia. Novali works with a variety of materials, often first conceiving an idea and then finding the right medium to transcribe his vision. His background in architecture influences his sensitivity to structure, space, and knowledge of construction—key elements of his approach and aesthetic. Addressing themes such as boundaries, identities, materialism, and urban life, Novali’s work interacts with the viewer and transforms with each viewing. Some of his previous group exhibitions include Dhaka Art Summit: Seismic Movements (2020), Shilpakala Academy, Dhaka, Bangladesh; The 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (2018), Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia; DIASPORA: Exit,Exile,Exodus of Southeast Asia (2018), MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum, Chiang Mai, Thailand. His selected solo exhibition is Caprice (2017), Art Basel Hong Kong Discovery Section, Hong Kong. He was most recently nominated for Best Emerging Artist Using Installation at the 2016 Prudential Eye Awards in Singapore.
