White Cube Hong Kong is pleased to present Thresholds, a group exhibition featuring the work of nine contemporary artists whose practices are rooted in or connected to Indonesia.
Through a diverse range of mediums, the exhibition explores the interwoven cycles of life, death and transformation, with a focus on themes of ritual, spirituality, and reincarnation.
Curated by Galuh Sukardi, an independent curator based in Bali, Indonesia, Thresholds brings together painting, sculpture, textile, drawing and silverware by multigenerational artists: Galuh Anindita, Arahmaiani, Christine Ay Tjoe, Nadiah Bamadhaj, Kei Imazu, Ines Katamso, I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih (Murni), Citra Sasmita and Jennifer Tee.
Each artist charts their own individual journey of transformation: spiritual, political, physical or mythological. Forming a chorus of unique experiences, each shaped by the crossing of a ‘threshold’, the works selected reflect an understanding of the coexistence of light and dark; a dynamic whereby opposite forces are not at odds but held in balance.
Rooted in Indonesian traditions, and amid contemporary ecological, spiritual and social fractures, the exhibition takes the concept of the black-and-white Balinese poleng cloth as a point of a departure. Traditionally used to adorn statues, shrines and sacred trees, the cloth’s bold, criss-crossing pattern symbolises a harmony of opposites.
Concurrently, the exhibition extends to The Hari Hong Kong until 31 March 2026, with a selection of works by the nine artists installed throughout the hotel’s public spaces.
