aSia art that SuStainS

April 12 – October 13, 2013

aguS iSmOyO and nia fliam

The work of Agus Ismoyo and Nia Fliam, a husband and wife team, is founded on the philosophical underpinnings of classical Javanese batik. The batik that evolved in the courts of Central Java sought to integrate meditative and creative

powers in order to bridge the natural and unseen worlds. Ismoyo and Fliam have selected the parang, kawung, and tree of life as their basic design elements. These traditional Javanese motifs (see drawings

below) provide the seeds for their creative thinking. They see these as sharing roots with other universal forms. From their exploration of these motifs has come a magical range of hangings and scarves. The couple has shared their vision of the creative process, as expressed in batik, with different groups around the world, including artists in Nigeria, Native Americans, villagers in Java, and Aboriginal Australians. Their studio Brahma Tirta Sari in Yogyakarta, Central Java, is also a place of creative interchange and visiting artists are a regular presence. In the face of today’s commercialism, Ismoyo and Fliam strive to retain the artistic heritage of ancient Javanese masters by developing this art in ways to address today’s sensibilities.

The over 1,000 ethnic groups that call Southeast Asia home offer a rich trove of the textile arts. While these textiles once served as markers of ethnic or national identity, their vibrant colors, textures, and patterns now inspire contemporary art, commercial home furnishings, and fashion designs across the globe.

Out of Southeast Asia: Art That Sustains explores the intersection of a few of these rich traditions and their interpretation within contemporary art and design. The traditions are examined in historical textiles drawn from The Textile Museum’s collections, including batiks with motifs once restricted to the courts of Central Java and internationally flavored patterns from the trade regions of Java’s north coast. Traditional garments from Laos record the accomplished weaving heritage from the mainland and offer delightful designs that harbor symbols from a not-too-distant past. Central to this exhibition is the exploration of how four contemporary artists have been inspired by these traditional works. These adaptations range from design interpretation, to continuations of philosophical foundations, to stylistic details. The techniques of batik, weft ikat, and supplementary weft patterning are familiar, but here they are cast by new hands.

CarOl CaSSidy

An experienced weaver, Carol Cassidy was hired by a United Nations group to upgrade Lao traditional weaving into a commercial enterprise. Rather than bringing change, Cassidy was captivated by the beauty and skill of the work

of local ethnic groups. Cassidy left the mechanical looms and industrial processes to found her own studio based on Lao traditions. She hired Lao weavers and encouraged the continuation of local designs while improving the quality of the production.

Over the course of three years, Cassidy’s efforts helped standardize the raising of silk in Laos, improve dye quality, and make adjustments to the traditional looms that allowed for longer warps and wefts. In her early hangings and shawls, Cassidy directly incorporated patterns and textile structures from antique Lao textiles. Over time, she has adapted these initial renderings of older traditions, while maintaining ethnic validity at the core of her interpretations. Cassidy’s studio produces artistic textiles and upscale upholstery used by designers in Paris, London, and New York. Others in Laos now imitate her endeavors, resulting in a resurgence in local weaving. Her advice on the successful transformation of local tradition into an international commodity is now sought in many countries. This model helps sustain and carry forward local art forms for future generations.

Vernal BOgren Swift

Vernal Bogren Swift describes herself as an “itinerant artist,” but she is also a student of the earth who understands the potential power of tectonic plates and seismic shifts—as well as the power of myth. This keen awareness informs her

creativity, resulting in images that are both heroic and beguiling. As she says, she creates “cloth that speaks of the earth.” Her translations to cloth are through a masterful understanding of the batik medium. Bogren Swift understands that

great batiks partially derive from the small filling elements that lend texture, density, and vibrancy to the cloth’s surface. Such details characterize the great Javanese batiks of the past, but are rarely seen in today’s work. Her artist’s view of the world is that of a structure composed of patterns; Javanese batik speaks directly to this vision. Bogren Swift gives her subject matter space to be mythic in a narrow horizontal triptych format that makes the viewer “read” the composition. In some instances this is a sequential narrative, but in others a vertical patterning supplements the horizontal, suggesting additional reading across the panels. Bogren Swift’s travels have included stays in New Guinea, Australia, Africa, and British Columbia. Each experience has enriched her mental archive of legend and myth from which she draws in her artwork.
