PROJECT HAPPINESS - BSD artmovement, Maret 2011










This artwork is part of "Choose Happiness Project, " which has the concept of choice.

Reality always presents a choice, when faced with that choice to us, then who will be present is an "expectation - about prayer, hope.


middle of February, we do this work of art by creating works of graphic that read "Pilihlah Aku" (Choose Me) and directed to the people at random to be held and photographed. after the photos, they will write prayers / hopes them about the concept of choice according to their own.
and pray / hope that the paper was written under "Choose Me " later will be attached at the destination address expectations of "choice" them.


This work was later considered contextually with Tangsel conditions, our domicile, when we face the General Election of the first time, there is a sense in which we feel "no choice" to choose our own leaders. Because everyone is entitled to choose from! not only from the party, the artist, or who have money. everyone can choose and pick.


as well as on a broader level, Indonesia, the freedom to choose the trust becomes a contextual issue in recent days. therefore, this art is also proposed to participate in Sunday Street Art.


This work was completed with such unrest.




Concept "Seni Kota Cerita", ARTSEM, Semarang, Des 2010

tarted from receiving a letter containing the event abstraction and the detailed description about an art event called ARTSEM to respond a city of Semarang, we were called to create visualization of an artwork that can summarize the city of Semarang as a whole, its people, and the story happening in the city.


We came up with the idea of a graphic art after so much meetings and arguments for three weeks. In the beggining, It was made of a round 60 cm diameter plain paper that was collored with red, yellow, and blue paint and a pitch black text painted in the middle of the paper. We published and spread it out all over the places in Semarang which became noticeable propragand posters.
We placed the posters in the main area of the city of Semarang on the 6th to 10th December 2010. We made people more aware of the hopes and the memories of the city of Semarang by putting posters in certain places that had connection to the text itself. Such examples are ‘Seni Yang Bergerak’ (moving art) –we placed it on a public transportation and bus stop, ‘Galeri Terakhir’ (last gallery) –we placed it in front of the cementery monument of Semarang.


In the end of the event, there were many reactions from the people regarding the propaganda posters that we spread. The government thought the posters were a disturbance, while the people of Semarang thought that they were a good uniqueness of the day. The commitee holding the exhibition at Semarang Gallery thought that it was brilliant idea, therefore they invited us to exhibit the summary of what we did, in one of the place inside the gallery which appeared to be a more challenging option.
