Godspeed: a series of durational performances by Rudi Abdalah @ PLATFORM3

 
Godspeed

Rudi Abdalah

10-13 October 2013 @ PLATFORM3

curated by Roy Voragen

PLATFORM3 & Roma Arts present Godspeed, a series of four durational performances by Bandung-based performance artist Rudi Abdalah (1982; https://vimeo.com/user18902589). He performed at Undisclosed Territory #6, Solo, and recently at The Substation, Singapore, in a program organized by R.I.T.E.S.

1.     Devotion – Thursday 10 October 2-10pm
2.     The Underdog – Friday 11 October 2-10pm
3.     Fellowshit – Saturday 12 October 2-7pm
4.     Godspeed – Sunday 13 October 2-3pm (followed by a discussion)

Four durational performances with common threads running through: a troubled heart, on the verge of hope, organs without bodies, a pulsating and amplified beat, counting blessings and figments of reveries, icy ink and blood, overcoming and becoming, immobile traveling, rebooting belief, looking back and forth, contemplating action and act, fail, and act again… 

Godspeed |Gädspēd|
exclamation dated
an expression of good wishes to a person starting a journey.
ORIGIN Middle English: from God speed you [may God help you prosper]

Free admission & open for the public (Fellowshit for 18+ only!).

About Jef Carnay
Jef Carnay is a Manila-based visual and performance artist who exhibits his works in local and international art galleries, museums and alternative spaces; he performed at both local and international art events; he also curated live art performances. He’s fascinated with people’s behavior in situations, and he plays around the ideas of ‘what if’s: possibilities of alternative situations and narratives. He’s in constant collaboration with the many inside ‘himself’. He also explores humor, for it’s easier to swallow a bitter pill of reality when it’s coated with a little loony sugar. He’s now exploring the concept of what’s seen against what’s being experienced: what actually can be seen doesn’t tell the whole story, there is always more of what is physically present, some intangible concealed notions alongside the evident. And Qualia is based on the artist’s everyday experiences in Bandung during his residency at Roma Arts, Bandung, November 2012. Carnay’s presentation includes a new installation and performance at Asbestos Art Space, 24-27 November 2012.


Tentang Jef Carnay
Jef Carnay adalah seorang seniman rupa (visual) dan seni pertunjukan berbasis di Manila, yang telah memamerkan karya seninya di galeri lokal/internasional, museum dan ruang-ruang alternatif. Selain itu dia juga kerap melakukan kurasi pada beberapa seni pertunjukan secara langsung. Carnay selalu tertarik akan perilaku individu maupun kelompok orang dalam berbagai situasi, dan bermain dalam ranah ide konsep ‘bagaimana bila’: kemungkinan yang menghadirkan situasi dan narasi alternatif. Secara terus menerus, dia selalu berkolaborasi dengan berbagai figur yang berbeda di dalam ‘dirinya’. Dia juga mengeksplorasi humor,  yang memudahkan dia untuk menelan pil pahit realitas kehidupan ketika hanya dibalut oleh secuil gula kegilaan. Pada saat ini dia melakukan eksplorasi  konsep apa yang dilihat terhadap apa yang dirasakan: apa yang sebenarnya bisa dilihat belum tentu menunjukkan keseluruhan cerita, selalu ada sesuatu yang lebih dari sekedar kehadiran fisik dan beberapa hal abstrak tersembunyi dalam wujud gagasan bersama bukti kehadirannya. Pameran bertajuk Qualia didasarkan pada pengalaman keseharian sang seniman di kota Bandung selama program residensinya di Roma Arts, Bandung, November 2012.  Presentasi Carnay pada kesempatan ini menghadirkan karya instalasi baru dan seni pertunjukan di Asbestos Art Space, 24-27 November 2012.
