Yang Bukan - Bukan : An Exhibition Showcase by SIX


How does one exemplify a successful convergence as an art collective? Is there a certain formula or assembly line method for such an institution? How would its achievements be measured? Must it carve a significant narrative to the global or local art history? Would it be sufficient if it serves only to be a part of the conversation instead of being a major source for discourse?

SIX is a work in progress that attempts to answer these questions. 'Work In Progress' is the keyword here, as the artist in this group (and their works) stems from the desire to produce an art group through an assisted management, by means of HOM Art Trans. It aims to question the viability of such methods, and the improvements or advancements that could be gained from it. At this point of the experiment, almost everything is up to amendments, as long as the initiatives are beneficial to the members and their current aspirations.

This experiment in an organic existence of an art group is a rare one indeed, as it is possible by means of support and trust from institution such as HOM Art Trans. The name itself is a recent iteration that evolved from various previous groups, and the members have been fluctuating over time. This process of elimination forces the remaining members to think long and hard about what are the qualities that sustain a group, and what ideals should be put down in order to have a strong ideological foundation to drive it.

Compromises are inevitable - but what kind of it would be acceptable? Can artistic vision ever be compromised? Should ideological aspirations be limited to fit a larger narrative? How far an execution could be handed out in order to fit a certain worldview? These questions are constantly bombarded throughout the group making process, and plays a large role in determining the eventual outcome that a group could finally call to be truly their own. The works presented in the current show are an exemplification of these experiments. It would attempt to answer, and at the same time raise even more questions that would in turn force us to move on and further fine-tune our way throughout the process
