(Indonesia) large-scale work Barong. The Barong is a mythical mask, a guardian of tribal villages, and a composite of various animals. Entering the exhibition space through the mouth of the Barong lion, visitors open what is known as the Contemporary Indonesian Balinese style “traditional door,” which symbolizes entering the artistic realm of the Pulima (artisan) family. Inside this bamboo-arched chamber that mimics the belly of an animal, I Made Sukariawan’s wooden Barong sculptural series—Elephant, Miracle, and Where is the Water?—allegorically speaks to how artisan families are caught between the functional and cultural values of tradition and modernity, as well as their historical circumstances. Nestled in one corner of the exhibit is a traditional Balinese pavilion from Indonesia, suggesting a peaceful resting stop on this journey of tracing origins.
