Framer Framed

At Framer Framed in Amsterdam his work has been part of the exhibition Pressing Matters (2018), a group exhibition featuring 24 artists from Indonesia curated by Kevin van Braak. Antitank’s contribution was part of the Pentagonal Icositetrahedron installation and is a revision of an earlier work Antitank created in 2010. The work appears as a spontaneous response to the typical campaign slogan ‘Selamatkan Bumi’ (‘Save the Earth’). Antitank questions the object of the slogan: save the earth from who or what? He answers his own question with the words: ‘Dari bos mu’ (‘From your boss’). He contends that every problem in the world, especially when it concerns the environment or social issues, is caused by big companies’ desire for power and their exploitation of resources. The leaders of the companies, who only have financial profit on their minds, are the people responsible for the disasters and the emergence of various diseases in the world.
