4th JIMB 2020
The 4th JIMB 2020
Introduction
from the Director
Since the first Biennale in 2014, JIMB
has been intended as a forum where, through small printed images, ideas and graphic
techniques can develop and artists, studios, art lovers as well as the general public
can participate democratically. Over time there is has been a shift in the character
of this event, starting from the first Biennale in 2014 to the fourth, the current
Biennale. In addition, though membership of the jury has changed from Biennale
to Biennale, as far as possible the jury has included both young and more
senior artists, those who welcome progressive movements and those who value conventions
and traditions, all with the same goal: for JIMB to capture the dynamic of
graphic arts as it grows and develops.
In the fourth Biennale the organizing
committee and the jury have agreed to provide equal opportunity for work which
uses conventional techniques as well as techniques which lie outside usual practices
and which were not accommodated in the first three Biennales. This decision was
carefully considered from a number of points of view, including the
far-reaching impact of the Pandemic which it appears will continue into the
future. These last several months have raised our awareness once again that
truly the essence of art is how artists at a particular point in time are capable
of creating a powerful impact through
their work. Graphic art is unique because it can connect the particular strengths
of ideas and techniques and can play a role in creating opportunities for everyone,
wherever they are and under whatever conditions, where they can create art.
Significant financial support from the
Art and Culture Department of the Yogyakarta Provincial Government has made it
possible for Organizing Committee of the 4th Biennale to increase
the monetary value of the prizes. Also, the jury of the Biennale, in addition
to three well-established Indonesian printmakers, for the first time includes a
distinguished international artist: Deborah Chapman, a Canadian artist
respected throughout the printmaking world. Her participation on the Jury adds
stature to the Biennale and we are grateful for her willingness to serve. Deborah
was one of the winners of the Three Best Works Award in the 2nd JIMB 2016 with
a riveting mezzotint entitled ‘Murmure’, 2016. She will participate in Phase I
of the selection process. Although a virtual presence now, international participation
on the jury is a goal for future Biennales.
Finally, because of the effects of the
Pandemic, it was decided that the exhibit of finalists selected by the Biennale
jury will be held in April 2021. This is in consideration of the possibility
that submission of work, especially from abroad, might take longer than usual
because of current conditions.
We realize that keeping the flame of the
Biennale alive is no easy task and we need everyone’s involvement. Let’s go
forward, create fantastic graphic work, and overcome this Pandemic!

THEME:
Trans-Pandemic
Printmaking; The 4th Jogja International Miniprint Biennale
Since the beginning of 2020 countries
and communities throughout the world have faced the same problem, the threat of
the Covid-19 Pandemic. As a result, various plans, projects, development
activities, and artistic and socio-cultural activities of communities
everywhere have been postponed or canceled. Conventional teaching and learning
programs and academic activities in schools from kindergartens to high schools
and colleges have been suspended. Campuses closed and replaced in person
learning with online instruction. Art events, exhibitions, performances, and
screenings in public spaces and art galleries are severely constrained. Places
of worship and other important gathering places are closed. Physical contact
between members of the public has been reduced to a minimum. 'Lockdown',
'social distancing', 'PPE (personal protective equipment), the use of
'thermo-guns', and various signs of restricted access to regions, cities, and entire countries are only a
small sample of the seriousness of the threat of Covid-19, and of various
efforts made individually and collectively to break the chain of transmission
of the virus.
However, amazingly, people of various
ages and backgrounds are always able to create new metaphors, to creatively
represent the extraordinary things or events they experience. Creative people
everywhere are moved to express their experiences through various media
including: sound, movement, words, appearance, and their own bodies. What is
phenomenal, globally, in response to lock downs and social isolation is the
emergence of creative, innovative works that have been able to break through
various limitations imposed by social-distancing. Artwork, designs,
performances, animations, short films, novels, and music have sprung up from
various communities, including communities that have developed online. It turns
out that strict limitations make people creative; they have been able to create
new ways that are trans-border, trans-parochial, trans-disciplinary, and
trans-media. Indeed, the prefix 'trans', which means to pass, go beyond, cross
and overcome, has become one of the key words of this new era.
Printmaking is a branch of art practice
that is never devoid of images and texts which are created in order to be
reproduced through the printing process. By their nature prints have the
potential to appear, equally original, in several places at once. Metaphoric
phrases about 'what is happening here and now’ can be physically characterized
and disseminated online. Images, texts, or striking text drawings can be made
either with simple materials and equipment or with materials and equipment
specifically designed for industrial printing purposes. Greatness in a
print/graphic work can be achieved through an approach that is simple and
minimalist or sophisticated and technical.
The most important thing that
printmakers are able to demonstrate is their intellectual-creative skills in
transforming specific ideas or insights into a reality they feel an urgency to
express through the process of transferring images to print media for
reproduction. What is significant is the ability of the creator, the
printmaker, to trans-mediate an insight into a medium.
In difficult conditions, like the
Covid-19 Pandemic, people must be able to transform challenging situations into
environments conducive to various positive possibilities. Through art, in this
context printmaking, people can transform any particular idea, including ideas
related to the Pandemic, into something unique.
This discussion is a prologue to the 4th
Jogja International Miniprint Biennale (JIMB) 2020 and explains why the
selection process and Biennale exhibition will take place in the first quarter
of 2021. In response to the Covid -19 Pandemic, JIMB 2020 is inviting
printmakers everywhere to submit graphic works to this trans-national event.
(Please see registration details below.) We believe that the works submitted
will indeed be the fruits of creativity, related directly or indirectly to
conditions under the Pandemic.
We also believe that in every community
there are always creative ways to represent events and phenomena that affect
them both individually and communally. The Organizing Committee of JIMB 2020
looks forward to receiving work from printmakers everywhere, whether the work
uses conventional technical methods or trans-media approaches; each has its own
uniqueness and strength. These two characteristics are like the two different
personalities represented in ancient Greek mythology by the gods Apollo and
Dionysius; both have characteristics and traits that are far different from one
another, but both have their own strengths and abilities.
Thus we enthusiastically invite
printmakers from all parts of the world to submit work which signifies that we
are not mere subjects of the Pandemic. Through printmaking we have creative
techniques to transcend obstacles and limitations and to graphically
characterize the dramas triggered by Covid-19
