Tintin Wulia: Things-in-Common

A major influence on Tintin Wulia’s artistic practice and research has been her ethnic minority Chinese-Balinese origins, as well as the disappearance of her grandfather during the Indonesian mass killing of 1965-66. Having experienced being discriminated since her childhood, Wulia has been interested in boundaries that people created and the wars that people wage to keep these boundaries in place. She has communicated these through multidisciplinary installations and video works. Wulia’s work is based on her personal experiences, but through her practice she has gradually noticed how the “common thing” that surround us can become “Things-in-Common”, connecting people by acquiring an aesthetic element. A project is currently underway to investigate how these aesthetic objects can be linked to social and political change.
This exhibition, Wulia’s first solo exhibition in Japan, will present works from her relatively early period to the present. It will provide an opportunity to experience the evolution of Wulia’s artistic attempts to focus on how personal backgrounds including individual memories can be transformed into collective action and social connections with other people through her works.
