"Landscaping my Brain" is an exhibition of artwork by Entang Wiharso that features important earlier paintings, prints and sculpture presented alongside new work created specifically for the exhibition at Can's Gallery. The exhibition focuses on Wiharso's extensive exploration of self, place and belonging and how people manage and adapt to change.
Entang Wiharso has a multi-disciplinary practice and is known for his dramatic visual language and unique images of contemporary life. His work is layered with social, political and sexual critique, revealing a complex picture of the human condition. Having exhibited in many prestigious international forums including the Venice, Prospect 3 and Prague biennales, Wiharso's recent work focuses on the duality of cultures and experiences in his two homelands - Indonesia and America. His work brings into sharp focus issues of national identity, migration, race, political states and power conflicts. Wiharso's desire to question the circumstances of our lives without prescribed outcomes, and to report back on what is happening in our world, ties the show together and offers strategies for considering key themes, ideas and aesthetics in his oeuvre. The work selected for the exhibition spans more than 20 years over the course of 3 decades, highlighting the methodology and visual and conceptual development in Wiharso's practice. |
