Menelan Cakrawala (meaning “Swallow the Horizon” in English) opens with a provocation: the horizon, for all its appearance of neutrality, has never been innocent. Long treated as a boundary where land, sea, and sky meet, it is in fact a constructed field through which knowledge is produced, territories are imagined, and power is exercised.

Bringing together modern and contemporary works— from Raden Saleh, Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn, Heinz Mack, and Robert Rauschenberg to Dede Eri Supria, I Nyoman Masriadi, Ipeh Nur, and Thao Nguyên Phan — the exhibition examines how landscape is shaped across different regimes of vision. From colonial image-making to contemporary reflections on resource use and ecological crisis, these works reveal landscape as an active field rather than a passive backdrop.

To swallow the horizon, this exhibition suggests, is to finally recognize its layered construction, where representation, materiality, and power remain inseparable.
