Making our annual presence at Art Jakarta Garden, ISA Art Gallery proudly presents "Birama 3/4" for the 2024 show
from April 23-28 at Hutan Kota by Plataran. Inspired by musical concepts, the term “Birama'' derives from "irama,"
signifying rhythm, while “3/4” underscores the thoughtful curation and rhythmic arrangement of three themes into
one cohesive exhibition. Featuring the works of 22 artists, “Birama 3/4” highlights themes that have consistently
emerge throughout ISA Art Gallery's exhibiting journeys: Women Show, Material Subject Matter, and Paint on Canvas.
This year’s Women Show aims to illuminate the variety and complexity of diasporic women in the arts, celebrating the
contributions of Rose Cameron, Sinta Tantra, Ines Katamso, Eun Vivian Lee, Yuki Nakayama, and Hadassah Emmerich
and Nursyifa Salsabila. Exploring the rise of diverse materials in contemporary art, Material Subject Matter showcases
how Septian Harriyoga, Galih Adika, Syllindris, Alexander Sebastianus, Jumaadi, Bandu Darmawan, Trio Muharam,
and Yosefa Aulia maximize the potential of their chosen materials to express artistic messages, breaking the
boundaries of material utilization in manifesting creative ideas. Paint on Canvas part of the exhibition brings forth the
uniqueness of this era’s paintings through the works of Luh Gede Gita Sangita Yasa, Vanessa Jones, Ardi Gunawan, Ida
Lawrence, Condro Priyoaji, Hannah Shin, and Tara Kasenda, spotlighting painting as one of the most resilient forms of
art embodied through contemporary techniques and taste.
