SYNOPSIS
Essentially the decorating of cloth by drawing on it with molten wax and immersing it in a dye bath, the ancient art of batik-making is a meditative practice. It has been described in early 20th century Javanese literature as work of the spirit.
The artists of the BTS studio are concerned with the continuation of this ancient art, now a UNESCO-designated world heritage. In a period of readily available technological innovations, they integrate new practices such as the use of contemporary language with traditional practices in this installation at the concourse.
