Selamat datang di Poskart Projekt/Welcome to the Poskart Projekt
Poskart Projekt adalah salah satu dari banyak proyek dari ruangrupa. Ini adalah ajang bagi para seniman untuk menunjukkan kreativitas, baik dalam kata-kata, gambar, foto, ataupun jenis seni visual lainnya.
Kartu pos adalah benda sehari-hari yang begitu sederhana, namun bisa berarti begitu dalam. Sifatnya begitu personal, bukan hanya isi pesannya, tapi juga makna di balik dekorasi kartu pos itu sendiri. Inilah salah satu alasan mengapa kartu pos adalah medium yang begitu unik untuk dijadikan karya seni.
Poskart Projekt menerima kiriman karya-karya kartu pos Anda sampai dengan 2 Juli 2010 (via pos) atau 1 Juli 2010 (via internet). Pameran akan dibuka pada tanggal 9 Juli 2010.
Cheers,
Pauline Tannos

Poskart Project is one of the many events happening at ruangrupa right now. This project invites artists to embrace their creativity in mediums with which they are familiar, be it photography, painting, drawing, etc. This project differs from its counteracts because it asks the artist to create works adhering to the boundaries of the age-old postcard.
For years a postcard was the sole form of communication between parties. If an individual was on-the-go and unable to write a formal letter, the postcard sufficed. It’s lack of space allowed for quick updates and disclosure of feeling without an envelope or costly postage. Today, the postcard is considered an antique in a world filled with e-mail, twitter, and facebook. These new luxuries should not overshadow a medium that for years people used to disclose their feelings, happenings, and fears…and all in a 8.5 x 11.5 CM space.
Today, ruangrupa challenges artists to continue speaking volumes with their artwork, while remaining true to the confinements that the postcard has always posed.
Your creations are welcome via internet up until July 1, 2010 and via post until July 2, 2010. Poskart Projekt will open July 9, 2010 at 5pm.
Hope to see you there,
Caroline Yost
