Foreword
Continuing with our exhibition programming for 2018, Artemis Art is pleased to present Masks and Stories, a group exhibition by four
young and emerging artists from Indonesia and Malaysia, Dr. Caryn Koh, Dedy Sufriadi, Indra Dodi, and Syahbandi Samat.
The exhibition revolves around the idea of the human persona - a mask, if you would, that allows our true self to navigate society - and how
the persona becomes an important element in storytelling within visual art.
Why the persona? From the viewpoint of Jungian psychology, whether we like it or not, each of us wears a mask, and depending on the
social situation we may be in, that mask may change. It’s part and parcel of how we cope as social animals. Therefore, what we see when
we observe other people will be based whatever mask they happen to have on at a given moment.
Similarly, understanding an event in totality requires us to learn about what happened, as related by the various personas involved in
that event or occurrence. It could be said, therefore, that a story is nothing more than the cumulative end result of two or more personas
interacting. Façade meeting façade; mask meeting mask.
