Set up in 2000, ruangrupa is known mainly for its bright-coloured aesthetics and fierce loyalty to local wisdom.
Indonesian art collective ruangrupa has become the first ever Asians and first ever art collective to be chosen to curate the prestigious documenta art exhibition in Kassel, Germany.
The collective was chosen unanimously by the event’s eight-member International Finding Committee, which consists of art curators and directors, to curate the event in 2022. The committee chose ruangrupa for its “ability to appeal to various communities, including groups that go beyond pure art audiences, and to promote local commitment and participation”.
Set up in 2000, ruangrupa is known mainly for its bright-coloured aesthetics and fierce loyalty to local wisdom, offering intense social commentaries in various artistic mediums while at the same time balancing it with light-hearted methods and humour.Every Time a Ear di SounThe group, the name of which loosely translates to “a space for art” or “a space form”, has exhibited works in such places as Brazil, Denmark, France, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the Netherlands and Turkey.
“Documenta is consciously giving room to the non-European view,” said Angela Dorm, minister of higher education, research and the arts for Kessel’s Hesse state. Ade, the collective’s director, said they had not planned out the entirety of what they would bring but aimed to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that would have an impact beyond the 100 days of documenta 15.
