Power of Strangeness: Studio visit in Yogyakarta
At our invitation, the Indonesian artist Uji Handoko Eko Saputro (aka Hahan) began his research trip in Dresden this May. To better understand the Dresden of today, he traced the footsteps of Raden Saleh, the master of modern Indonesian painting who lived in Dresden during the nineteenth century. Hahan is currently working on a bold large-format painting, which will be exhibited in Dresden in November before it is cut up and distributed among the visitors in a barter-trade event.
