In this year’s exhibition we introduce Indonesian and Japanese artists who have found channels to connect to the world by appropriating images in their artwork.
Indonesia has historically flourished as a center of maritime trade and thus many ethnic groups sailed to its islands and made them their new home. After Dutch colonial rule, Indonesia managed to establish its independence as one unified nation built of numerous regional identities. Today, this cultural richness can be also identified in the arts of the Indonesian cities Jakarta, Bandung and Yogyakarta.
In Japan the situation may appear to be the opposite. Japanese “national identity” is prioritized over individual identity and one’s sense of self is secondary in the creative process.
Understanding this contradiction we may pose a question: what is that “something” that determines and shapes our world-view? Based on our field research and close observations the answer stems from the cities, communities, and the people whose natures are shaped by the very ground they stand on; by the land they inhabit.
Sharing our knowledge and impressions; this year’s exhibition aspires to explore distinctive world-views which delineate the contemporary world on a smaller scale; cities, communities, and people. We hope that this exhibition will give you an opportunity to experience the richness of Indonesian and Japanese local culture and will help you to understand the so far unseen, hence ‘map the unmapped’.

Information 展覧会情報
Outline of the Exhibition
Mapping the Unmapped is
organized by the AQA Project and administered by a team of students learning the department of aesthetics and art history at the School of Letters of Kyushu University. This exhibition received the support of the Fukuoka City Foundation for Arts and Culture Promotion (FFAC) as the exhibition aims to introduce cutting edge and experimental works in Indonesian and Japanese contemporary art scenes to Fukuoka citizens. The artworks were chosen to be featured based on this year’s exhibition theme. This exhibition is also a part of an outreach initiative of Social Cooperation of the School of Letters, Kyushu University.
The AQA Project has organized art exhibitions since 2006. The very first exhibition organized was titled, Madonnas of the Philippines, showcased artworks from the permanent collection of Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. Since then, we have curated an art exhibitions every year under diverse themes; TADAIMA: Looking for Sweet Home: Exhibition of Asian contemporary Art (in cooperation with “The 4th Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale 2009”) in 2009, OTONARISAN: The Stranger Next Door: Korean and Japanese Contemporary Art in 2010-11, Art Today in Taiwan and Japan fragile reality in 2011-2012 and Encountering the Unknown: Singaporean and Japanese Artists' Dialogue with Their Cities in 2012-2013 .
Based on the AQA Project’s past exhibition experiences and the field research we conducted on contemporary Indonesian art this year, we strive to curate an exhibition, which is creative and thought provoking. We hope that this year’s exhibition will contribute to the further development of Indonesian and Japanese contemporary art and advance mutual understanding and fruitful cultural exchange between these two countries.
