The exhibition revolves around the fascinating figure of Russian-born German artist Walter Spies (1895 \u2013 1942), whose influence on Bali’s cultural landscape reverberates today. Spies’ legacy is deeply intertwined with Bali’s contemporary narrative, and\u00a0ROOTS<\/em>\u00a0aims to show his profound impact while exploring the island’s postcolonial legacy over the last century.<\/p>\n

At the heart of\u00a0ROOTS<\/em>\u00a0lies Villa Iseh, a retreat built by Spies in 1937 in Iseh, Karangasem. Initially a sanctuary for Spies, it later became a popular destination for the rich and famous, including David Bowie, Yoko Ono, and Mick Jagger.<\/p>\n

Visitors will be invited to explore the maze of rooms in the villa, from the reception to bedrooms, corridors, living areas, and a pool room. The exhibition will examine the themes of mass tourism, environmental degradation, and the complex interplay of cultural identities in Bali.<\/p>\n

Highlights include works by the painter Made Bayak and the graphic artist Gus Dark, who explore the Balinese struggle to preserve their cultural identity amidst contemporary challenges.<\/p>\n

Excerpts from Michael Schindhelm\u2019s docu-fiction film\u00a0ROOTS<\/em>\u00a0will accompany the exhibition. The film presents Walter Spies as a spectral presence navigating Bali’s modern landscape.<\/p>\n
