Proses adalah ketika kita. (Process is when we.)
About the research
In November 1982, Danarto wrote what would today be called his “artist statement”. The title is “Process, process, process, process, process, process, process, process,” that ends with a comma, repeated like a mantra dozens of times, in a statement that ends with a decisively unfinished sentence: “Process is when we” referring to his view about the then national political situation that had been polarized for decades, even to this day. Widely acknowledged as a pivotal figure on the Indonesian literary scene, Danarto was not only a writer and poet. He is one of those rare artists who did everything and did it all well. He would perform his poetry, write and direct plays, deliver monologues, paint and make installations, design posters and interiors, draw illustrations for children’s and high-brow cultural publications, build sets for films and theatre and write critical reviews, while teaching at an art school, offering weekly satirical social, political commentary, and an Islamic lifestyle column. We would not be surprised to uncover more.
