Press Release
ROH is pleased to present Whoever Stays Until The End Will Tell The Story, the gallery’s first solo exhibition of Agung Kurniawan (b. 1968, Jember, Indonesia).
Agung Kurniawan turns memory into a reconciliatory dance against forgetting, where drawings on paper, performance, trellis sculptures, and paintings act as conduits for preservation. A touchstone for Kurniawan’s exhibition is My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk, a novel set in late sixteenth-century Istanbul about two Ottoman miniaturists caught between tradition and the encroaching influence of Western perspective. In describing the exhibition, Kurniawan invokes Pamuk’s world as a conceptual lens: a world where painting can be both devotional act and personal expression, giving voice to inanimate things such as color, a miniaturist’s depiction of a horse, and the complex relationship between artists.
