Indonesian textile brand Sejauh Mata Memandang (SMM) has collaborated with contemporary artist Eko Nugroho to develop an exploratory fashion exhibition, similar to their DEWI Fashion Knights runway collaboration at Jakarta Fashion Week. The exhibition, titled Republik Sebelah Mata, is inspired by this partnership.
From now until April 30th, The Space at Plaza Indonesia is hosting an exhibition featuring 25 fashion designs that initially appeared on the runway during SMM’s show. This creative display has been overseen by Felix Tjahyadi, one of the collection’s co-designers. The event kicks off with a unique, eco-friendly carpet made from materials like palm kernel shells. As you progress, you’ll find yourself in a temporary store offering SMM goods and merchandise from Nugroho (DGTMB), designed by the renowned artist.
Meanwhile, the primary display features mannequins adorned with pieces from the joint collection, set against a canvas of Nugrohio’s carefully selected paintings. It’s worth noting that the “Ruang Malam” space showcases three outfits in complete black, created as a response to themes like injustice, sorrow, disillusionment, and resistance.
At the DFK 2024 fashion show, Chitra Subyakto, the founder and creative director of Sejauh Mata Memandang, shared thoughts with Eko and Felix about making the collection more accessible to a broader audience. Her vision was to establish an environment where people could not only observe the designs but also learn about the tales behind each item, the methods used in their creation, and the artisans and collaborators who played significant roles in its production.
Nugroho mentioned, “By teaming up, I aim to entice others to appreciate art in diverse ways. Since fashion is closely linked to our everyday experiences, I wish to demonstrate that art can be embodied as well.
Take a peek at the highlighted styles from the exhibition displayed above, and don’t forget to visit the exhibit at The Space, Plaza Indonesia, before the end of April to experience it personally!
