2015 - Jakarta: Arnhem Transaction Jakarta ~ day to day report (a work in progress)
DAI's academic year 2015-2016 unfurls under the spell of SONSBEEK 2016 - the continuation of a rich tradition of sculpture exhibitions in-and outside the lush Park Sonsbeek in Arnhem, now a public space but formerly a private country estate erected in the 19th century by wealthy colonials, operating as sugar traders from what they dubbed the 'Dutch East Indies'. Today the name of the exhibition's most iconic edition (1971) still resonates: Sonsbeek buiten de Perken ("Sonsbeek beyond lawn and order").
As you may have been informed: editon 2016 is going to be curated by Jakarta based artist collective ruangrupa.The curators have coined their Sonsbeek-edition TRANSACTION ARNHEM whereafter DAI (as 'roaming academy' and self-pronounced 'spaceship' with Arnhem as it's monthly airstrip) decided that if 'transaction' could be understood as decolonial communication and exchange, aiming to affect and jazz up all parties involved, it should, from our part, physically extend to Jakarta as well.
We are now realizing this ambition; in the distressing knowledge that we, as artists, curators, art workers necessarily belong to the 21st century privileged mobile global happy few. The urgent question how to make sense out of this privilege in a time where the majority of the world's population is denied the right to freely cross borders constitutes an innate aspect of our ongoing inquiry as Roaming Academy.

TONITE: party with students from the art school at Jaya Pub, Thamrin, Central Jakarta. One of the oldest pubs in Jakarta & TIPS FOR GETTING AROUND: to download from App Store (for iPhone) or Play Store (for Android) for fast, economical, and easy commuting: Gojek is a motorcycle taxi service, which you can order from the app, and track the driver. Every month, they have different promotion prices, ranging from 15.000-25.000 IDR to every destination. Grab Taxi is like Uber Taxi. Here's about Gojek http://www.go-jek.com/

November 13 ~ DAI
For COOP ACADEMY seminars in Jakarta:
1.
Practicing with Institutions, Instituting Practice II, with Nick Aikens / Van Abbemuseum: a day with ruangrupa in Jakarta ( including lunch and dinner)
11:00 am at ruangrupa: Timur Dalam Raya No.6 in the part of Jakarta known as Tebet.
The word 'transaction' is flying around. Transactions between people, places, ideas. As the group 'Practicing with institutions, instituting practice II' is itself transacting with ruangrupa this year, who are transacting with Arnhem, it feels only right that in Jakarta we transact with the collective and their way of working and living.
What forms of instituting take place at the ruangrupa HQ? What forms of practice do they engage with and how do they work with and within institutions? And what, from all of this might be interesting for us to bring back to Arnhem? What do we want from this transaction?
This will be a day of discussions, studio visits with artists, looking around the biennale in its final preparations and a communal dinner at ruangruppa where we will think what we might want to take home - in our pockets, our bags or our heads.

It will integrate with seventeen artificial islands from the reclamation. Many people doubt if this gigantic project could solve the urban problems. Yet the Jakartans still struggle with the waste management and polluted water. Together with local fishermen in Muara Angke--soon to get the impact of the project-- Tita collected marine debris and plastic trash in the area then turned them into an artificial island. With the help of a fishermen boat, the island is pulled and placed between the reclamation islands and Thousand Islands. Tita tries to connect the reclamation issue and land used with the waste plagues the sea and the future of traditional fishermen.
