- 25 Januari 2012 Pameran batik sebagai bagian dari JERIN: Batik Indonesia "Warisan
"Warisan yang Hidup"
mempersembahkan seniman Batik dari Jerman
Pameran Batik Indonesia "Warisan yang Hidup" bertujuan untuk meng-apresiasi
batik, gaya seni tradisional Indonesia, dengan cara yang sangat spesifik. Selain dari
latar belakang sejarah, proses simbol-makna dan produksi batik, pameran ini tetap
memberikan perhatian kepada para seniman batik dari Eropa, terutama dari
Jerman.
Bagaimana seni batik datang ke Eropa? Apa yang berbeda antara batik Eropa dan
Indonesia?
Batik sebagai seni tekstil masih sulit untuk mendapatkan keuntungan dalam
kancah seni di Eropa. Namun dengan bantuan seniman tekstil Eropa, seperti halya
para seniman batik yang mempersembahkan karya-karyanya dalam pameran ini,
batik menjadi semakin penting. Setiap seniman memiliki sejarah hubungan yang
unik dalam kaitannya dengan batik. Sebagian besar seniman telah menempuh
perjalanan penelitian mendalam ke Indonesia untuk mempelajari teknik pembuatan
batik.
Kini, saat melihat seni batik Eropa, kita dapat melihat perbedaan besar dengan
batik tradisional Indonesia. Terlepas dari pola tradisional, seniman masa kini
menyatakan identitas diri melalui batik. Yang lebih menarik adalah
membandingkan seni batik dari Eropa dengan batik tradisional dari Indonesia.
Dalam pameran Batik Indonesia "Warisan yang Hidup" kita bisa melihat perbedaan
ini dan dapat mempelajari lebih lanjut tentang batik beserta asal-usulnya.

Press Release
- January 25th, 2012 Batik Exhibition as part of JERIN:
JERIN:
Indonesian Batik “A living Heritage” shows German Batik artists
The exhibition Indonesian Batik “A living Heritage” aims to dignify batik, the most traditional art style Indonesia’s, in a very specific way. In addition to the historic background, the symbol-meaning and production process of batik, the exhibition also
keeps an eye on batik artists from Europe, especially from Germany.
How did the batik art come
come to Europe? What differs European from Indonesian batik?
Batik as textile art has still a hard time to gain advantage in the art scene in Europe.
But with the help of dedicated European textile artists, like the artists who shows their
batik in our exhibition, batik will always continue to gain in importance. Each batik artist has a history in relation to batik. Most have taken deep research trips to Indonesia
to learn the techniques.
Today if we look at European batik art, we can see big differences to the traditional
Indonesian batik. Solved from traditional patterns, artists today realize themselves by
their batiks. The more exciting it is to compare batik art from Europe with traditional
batik from Indonesia.
In the exhibition Indonesian Batik “A living Heritage” we can have a look at these differences and learn even more about batik and its origins.
For further Information about the European batik artists and the exhibition, see our ProProgramme Booklet or visit our homepage www.jerin.or.id.

JERIN – Creativity in Diversity
Press Release EKONID: Exhibition “Batik – A Living Heritage”, 25.01.2012
Batik – inspiring and attractive
In 2009 Indonesian batik won the UNESCO award of “Intangible Heritage of Humanity”
to recognize the value of the non-material component of culture, as well as entail the
commitment of states to promote and safeguard the Masterpieces. Adopting this
assignment, EKONID implemented the 4-year Clean Batik Initiative program together
with the German-Malaysian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (MGCC), and the IHKAcademy Munich, co-financed by the European Commission under the SWITCH-Asia
grant in 2010.
EKONID as one of the JERIN partners developed and realized the exhibition
“Indonesian Batik – A Living Heritage”. The exhibition conveys the rich history of batik
which can be traced back 1,500 years ago, informs about its traditional almost forgotten
production processes and provides insight into the meaningful symbols and motives
used. Current environmental challenges and modern designers demonstrating their love
for traditional and contemporary batik shows that batik is relevant for the future.
“Future generations should have the chance to enjoy Batik as much as we do today”,
wishes Mr Martin Krummeck, exhibition coordinator and Deputy Managing Director of
EKONID. We do hope that the exquisite display of this unique art triggers support in
Indonesia for the sustainable development and appreciation of batik.
LANDSCAPE OF DIVERSITY
is an installation
that was initially made for and exhibited on the London
Festival of Architecture 2010, in London, United Kingdom.
This is the first Indonesian pavilion on behalf of Indonesian
Embassy in London on its first participation on the event.
The Landscape of Diversity was short-listed on the
competition held among the 30 projects from different
embassies in London. This installation is now taking part at
The aim of the production of the installation is on the line
with the exhibition’s theme of batik and its use and
influence in international stage. It is substantial to
understand batik not only as a heritage of Humanity, but
also as a part of a contemporary living and modern
technology. This installation, Landscape of Diversity,
examines one of the rich traditional Indonesian cultures –
batik – to represent the country’s diverse structure.
