Dear Curator Curate Me is a project by Kristoffer Ardeña.

The booklet is designed by Irfan Hendrian and hand-made by Oma Anna. The limited edition booklet can be downloaded here (Issuu) and here (Box).

Dear Curator Curate Me in Indonesia is coordinated by Roma Arts (http://fatumbrutum.blogspot.com/).

Kristoffer Ardeña selected 15 videos and this selection travels around the world, each place where this selection makes a stop a curator is invited to develop a discourse on these videos. Dear Curator Curate Me at Selasar Sunaryo Art Space is this project’s debut, which will continue in the Philippines, Spain, Peru, etc. This project reverses the roles of the artist and the curator in a witty manner by emphasizing the curatorial essay. This traveling project aims to show how in different contexts around the globe curators can respond to the same collection of videos and slowly this project will turn into an archive of a curatorial discourse with its many contrasting voices.

Drawing workshop Jef Carnay at Oma Anna

Yesterday Roma Arts artist-in-resident Jef Carnay gave a drawing workshop at Oma Anna to the neighborhood kids. He asked them to draw him as they see him, 12-year old Nadhilah gave him a slimmer appearance...The kids had so much fun that they asked Jef to come back next week!

Roma Arts

Mei Suling, designer at Oma Anna, created a Roma Arts logo.

Roma Arts, founded in 2011 by Bandung-based art writer Roy Voragen, promotes passionate, ambitious and focused ways of producing, presenting, experiencing, and writing about the diverse forms of the contemporary arts in Indonesia. Roma Arts gives keen attention to art practices, forms of presentation, experiencing the arts, and discourses on art. Roma Arts organizes workshops, artist talks, seminars and roundtable discussions in collaboration with, thus far, Oma Anna, Selasar Sunaryo Art Space and Common Room Networks Foundation. In 2012, Roma Arts started a residency program to foster creative person-to-person contacts. Roma Arts had so far guests from Japan, Singapore and the Philippines (Roma Arts collaborates with Manila-based artist initiative space 98B). Artist-in-residents have the option to do a site-specific project at Roma Arts or make an exhibition elsewhere, for which Roma Arts collaborates with existing art spaces (in 2012 Roma Arts organizes an exhibition at the French cultural institute IFI in Bandung and in 2013 at Selasar Sunaryo Art Space, options for an art space will depend on the needs of a particular artist). Furthermore, Roma Arts mentors young and upcoming artists to help them create and exhibit a project.
