Reyum Institute of Arts and Culture (http://www.reyum.org) yang berpusat di Phnom Penh mempunyai istilah yang pas untuk merujuk pada budaya daur ulang seprti dipraktekkan oleh masyarakat Kamboja: kreatif. Mulai 19 Januari 2007 lalu, Reyum mengadakan pameran yang berjudul Creative Cambodia: Recycling Everyday Materials. Pameran ini adalah bagian dari riset Reyum tentang pola pemanfaatan benda-benda sehari-hari untuk digunakan kembali dan diolah menjadi benda-benda lain.
This exhibition shows examples of how people in Cambodia make new use of everyday materials. By transforming available resources such as empty plastic and metal containers, second half fabric, engines, and rubber tires, new tools and objects are crafted for use in daily life. The purpose of the exhibition is to describe and understand the process of generating the ideas more than to make a fetish of the objects themselves, thus emphasizing the ingenuity and resourcefulness within a living culture.
Ban karet bekas bisa diolah kembali menjadi sandal atau sepatu, tali, wadah tempat menampung air, pot tanaman, juga sebagai salah satu bahan untuk menambal ban. Kain perca bisa jadi alas kaki, selimut, atau hammock. Sedotan bisa diolah menjadi lampion dan pot bunga. Kaleng bisa diolah menjadi tempat lampu minyak, atap rumah, dan kompor minyak tanah.

hello from Australia!
I am curating an exhibition in Sydney in November, bringing the work of Indonesian artists who are looking at these issues to a gallery here. the blurb is here. . . the show is in November, and the same time as 'buy nothing day' and I was wondering how/if 'kisah belanja' could be involved. i saw the great exhibition of garbage from yogya last year at kinoki. so cool.
any ideas? let me know. sasha.
Sisa, UTS Gallery, November 6-December 6
Sisa is the Indonesian word for ‘remains’ or ‘leftovers’. Located somewhere between folk art, design, and public intervention, much of this work forms new forms of expression in the rejection of hyperconsumption and overdevelopment. This exhibition focuses on the issues associated with artistic output in the collaborative settings of contemporary Indonesian environment activism. Many of the artworks here were not designed for display in galleries, nor for an Australian audience, they are hybrid images and objects that have been adapted and translated. They include research, documentation, and what may appear to be ongoing projects, bringing understandings of contemporary Indonesian politics to a new context.
