2nd Jogja International Miniprint Biennale (JIMB) 2016
|
Deadline receive of works posponed until 5 April 2016.
Introduction from the Organizing Committee The second international biennale of small works on paper, the 2nd Jogja International Miniprint Biennale (abbreviated to JIMB, pronounced: Jimbe’) has entered its second cycle. This replaces the previous over-long name (International Competition-Jogja Miniprint Biennale/JMB) and it is expected that the new name will be used henceforth. Registration for the 2nd JIMB 2016 will begin on 25 December 2015 and is expected to peak between 24 May and 10 June 2016. Exhibitions and other related programs will continue through December 2016. The main exhibition will travel to several cities in Indonesia. As in the first Biennale, a year after the 2nd Biennale, in the middle of 2017, there will be an exhibition of the three first place winners. From the beginning, the mini print Biennale was planned from two perspectives: first the desire to offer a unique graphic arts forum. Second: to follow the dynamic in the current constellation of visual art. It is hoped that based on these two points JIMB will go forward into the future and always raise actual issues in the art world. The result will always be something new at every Biennale whether management, new members of the jury, Biennale and exhibition themes, and substantive opportunities regarding technical questions. Only the maximum size of the works (20cm x 20cm. unframed and 28cm.x 28cm. framed) and the print material (paper) will as far as possible remain the same. In the 2nd JIMB 2016 both the organizing committee and jury will maintain the use of conventional techniques, though with a certain amount of greater flexibility compared the first JIMB. In 2016 both collagraphs and works using stencil techniques will be eligible for selection. At the same time the theme to be considered by potential participants is “Homo Habilis; the ‘disappearance’ of the ‘noble’ or ‘glorified’ hand’ in art and declining appreciation of manual/hand skills in recent artistic work. Briefly noted: The first Biennale (1st JMB 2014) exhibited a total of 140 works by 72 printmakers from 23 countries. These were selected from 146 printmakers from 27 countries who submitted a total of 465 works It is hoped that the 2nd JIMB 2016 will attract an even more enthusiastic response from artists and the public. We await your mini print submissions.

THEME HOMO HABILIS Homo Habilis “Handy Man” By: Agung Kurniawan, Jury Chairman. Homo habilis was a cultured primate or proto-human; a being which walked on two legs and was the first documented proto-human to use tools. His capacity to use his brain had an impact on his ability to use his fingers and arms to make “tools”. Homo habilis was the first “human” to walk upright; with his long strong arms holding an ax. A being which glorified the hand is perhaps the most accurate term for him. In the current art environment the artist’s hands are no longer considered significant in carrying on the struggles of the soul. Art can now be made with the help of artisans, machines, or other objects and intermediaries. Thus to return to the use of hands, skilled hands, is a kind of pilgrimage or perhaps also an important turning point. Art and artists return to be faced by the situation -head to head - between biological forms and the desire to express ideas. Human artists return again to the glorified hand to regenerate their ideas. And it is printmaking that has made this possible. In the process of printmaking artists return to their basic intuitions as art workers; their capacity for skilled craft. Skill can be defined as the capacity to arrange, construct, and make objects of artistic value from raw materials. Other art forms may not be as intimate as this. Printmaking, especially work by professionals, clearly demonstrates this. It is this idea; the concept of Homo habilis, the handy man, which is the theme of the 2nd JIMB Biennale. How the artist returns to use basic intuition to create art. It will be interesting to see; the return of the glorified hand, the handy man, the final Homo Habilis.
