Onyenho
Onyenho is a librarian and archivist at KUNCI (a centre for cultural studies in Yogyakarta), freelance musician, and visual artist. Born in East Java, he studies archaeology from many media platforms such as Google and YouTube. His art practice consists of illustration and graphic work. He also is a lead vocalist of Tjuei Lan Tseng, a Soundcloud band that experiments with mixing Melayu sounds and Madurese dialect with a combination of Arabic and Chinese music.
Position. Relaxation. Tired of politics/problems. Lazy. Want to feel free. This is how Onyenho’s work can be described. In the artist’s view, a peaceful life means the ability to do the things we like freely, without thinking about the problems that happen elsewhere. In the midst of people who boast of political things, ideology, democracy, and justice, it also seems fair enough for us to stand within our own freedom. The freedom to not think. His work on the Pentagonal Icositetrahedron depicts what that would look like.
