Wiyoga Muhardanto Indonesia, b. 1984
Within the scope of organising exhibitions, programs with limited access are often attempted to facilitate the acquisition or sale of works and expand friendship networks within certain social classes. Muamalah describes the private dinner activity as facilitating interaction and transaction activities within the scope of an art exhibition. Muamalah becomes a satirical expression of the collision of social classes that various actors must face and carry out for the sake of the continuity of artistic events. Limited dinner activities in Muamalah are presented through the presence of a long dining table complete with chairs and cutlery as well as table decorations on a scale of 1:12. Muamalah reflects the peaks of social tension as well as strategic battles in reviewing the success of a contemporary art event today.
