Opening: 5.30pm, Thursday 8 June
Exploring the concept of greed, celebrated Indonesian artist Tisna Sanjaya presents a chaotic processional performance and exhibition.
GREED/ RAKUS/ GIERIG: PERFORMANCE
Tisna’s latest vision sees a collective of Sundanese artists, instrument builders and alchemists engage in ritual practices based on the celebration carnival, ‘Jajampanan’. Follow a sprawling parade of reimagined traditions to a series of performance ceremonies that tell a different story each night, honouring communal activism in rejection of greed.

Tisna Sanjaya rose from the 1980s generation of contemporary Indonesian and Bandung artists with their wave of experimentation, but with his own attitude, style, and language. Starting from drawings and etchings in graphic arts, Tisna’s depictions constantly discover new spaces with the passage of time-both in crossing the world of roles and theatrical characterizations; becoming a form that grows in the environment and society; and by never leaving the social-actual background. It frames the small and large moral paradoxes all around us.
Presented by CAT and Project 11 Foundation in partnership with Dark Mofo
