Join us for a Wednesday Walkthrough – a gallery tour where artists, experts, researchers and academics give short talks in their field of expertise relating to the concepts explored in our current exhibition. This season, we are presenting Feels Strangely Good, Ya? - the first international institutional solo exhibition of the late Balinese artist I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih “Murni”.
Murni (1966 – 2006, Bali) was a prolific and uncompromising artist whose vivid and acutely personal works emerged as an exploration of her subconsciousness, dreams and psyche, acting as a form of therapy or diary. Largely self-taught, Murni gained recognition in the 1990s for her striking depictions of female sexuality, addressing themes of pleasure, sex, power dynamics, trauma, and desire with humour, absurdity and unflinching honesty. Murni's fearless commitment to self-expression has cemented her reputation as one of the most transgressive and vital contemporary figures in Southeast Asian art, whose work continues to inspire others.
Join Annie Jael Kwan, an independent curator and researcher, with particular interest in archives, feminist, queer and alternative knowledge, collective relations, solidarity and radical spirituality, for a walkthrough exploring Feels Strangely Good, Ya? through the lens of her research and practice.
