Indonesian artist commemorates anniversary of unrest.
(From Canberra Times)
Swathed in the mists of the marsh pond at the National Gallery of Australia, an expatriate Indonesian artist yesterday commemorated the 39th anniversary of an abortive coup that heralded the massacre of thousands of ordinary citizens in Java and Bali.
Tagged by former President Sukarno ''The Year of Living Dangerously'', 1965 saw a bloody conflict between communist sympathisers and conservative forces which ended in disaster for the coup leaders and the installation of General Suharto as the strongman of the country.
Dadang Christanto, at present Artist in Residence at the ANU School of Art and a familiar face in Canberra, lost his own father during the aftermath of the coup, and has devoted his life to unveiling what he calls ''the unspeakable horror'' of atrocities committed in the name of politics. Even so, he was invited to represent Indonesia in last year's Venice Biennale.
