TABAIMO
1 - 14 Feb 2009

Talented young Tabaimo creates animated works that are as beautifully crafted and aesthetically appealing as they are disturbing. Not content to simply construct beautiful images, her works offer a complex and unflinching vision of contemporary Japanese society.

Tabaimo mines familiar stereotypes of Japanese life - commuter trains, sushi, suicidal students, and overworked businessmen - to create poignant, surreal, and hilarious animated “statements”.

One of Indonesia’s leading contemporary artists, Agus Suwage’s works are a response to the perversions of our times, everyday living and the complexities of our histories.

He challenges viewpoints, traditional authority, the sacred and the taboo, and gleefully exposes the brutal truths of our surroundings and contrary nature.
