SAMAR “Terkadang samar itu jelas”

oleh: Andri Krisdianto ( andriazmo )
CCF (Centre Culturel Français) Bandung ( Jl. Purnawarman no.32 )

Andri Krisdianto mengenal dunia fotografi sejak usia dini. Tahun 2001 ia mulai serius menekuninya secara otodidak. Sejak tahun 2002, selain bekerja di bidang industri kreatif dan industri fotografi, ia juga mengerjakan foto dengan konsep-konsep yang diinginkannya sendiri.

Di dalam « Terkadang samar itu jelas » sang fotografer mencoba menampilkan visual dari berbagai macam makna yang dilihatnya di saat semuanya buram, tidak jelas, pudar, abstrak dan samar. Sebagian karya-karya nya berangkat dan dipengaruhi dari prosa ataupun hanya dari sebuah susunan kata-kata yang dirangkainya sendiri kemudian dituangkan ke dalam sebuah karya fotografi. Teknis dalam setiap karya ditampilkan dengan warna monotone, dualtone dan Saturasi Rendah.

*Pembukaan, 15 Febuari 2010, 18.00 WIB
*Diskusi, 20 Febuari 2010, 15.00 WIB

About the HMC
HMC is dedicated to promoting international art and the understanding of world cultures, through high quality art exhibitions, cultural exchanges and related educational programs. Based in Dallas and Budapest, the organization operates throughout the world. Its principal focus is an international residency program to which artists from around the world are invited. The goal is to provide a supportive community with uninterrupted time to work. Like many visual arts residency programs, the HMC is a microcosm of the cultural diversity: multi-national. Unlike others, however, HMC makes a concerted effort to connect its artists and curators to the art community, while connecting the local art community with contemporary art practice from all over the world. The dynamic of HMC is a programming hybrid conceived to facilitate genuine exchange, specifically its Artist Talks and exhibitions. The exhibitions attract not only professionals, but a wider audience of art enthusiasts. As a direct consequence of connections forged at HMC, many of the over 500+artists who have participated in the program since its founding, are now represented by galleries and have been included in numerous group exhibitions and projects throughout the United States and Hungary.

Who Should Apply
HMC welcomes artists at all stages of their careers and seeks to create a mix of various experience levels in each group of residents. Through a competitive application process, HMC offers residencies to visual artists, writers, composers, and interdisciplinary artists such as those working in sound, performance, choreography, etc. AIR is an international meeting point for the arts. Its aim is to support and encourage contemporary artistic creation, research and debate. The purpose of this program is to offer a platform to promote the exchange of artistic discourses from artists with different artistic backgrounds and from different geographical origins. The program is designed to encourage the exchange of ideas in order to broaden creative horizons. HMC considers art as a dynamic social force that is capable of inspiring individuality and of defining groups. Art -- one of the few languages that transcends all boundaries -- offers a way to understand not only ourselves and one another, but it offers a venue for greatness, which must be supported if we as a civilization are to move forward.
