‘Somewhere, Elsewhere, Nowhere’ is a major survey exhibition by Filipinos artists Isabel and Alfredo Aquilizan. Having exhibited extensively in major exhibitions and biennales around the world, Museum MACAN is proud to present the artists’ first ever museum survey exhibition.
The exhibition will feature large scale installations, highlighting themes like urban development, human movement and journeys, exploring what it means to belong, and how identities are formed through the movement of people. The Aquilizan’s collaborative practices often revolve around the spheres of home and family, incorporating found materials, including cardboard boxes, paper, and plastic bags.
Indonesia is of particular importance to the artists, as they have developed strong relationships with the artistic scene in Yogyakarta, with one of their important series Belok Kiri Jalan Terus (2017–2018) being inspired by previous trips working in Indonesia. For this exhibition, the Museum will also commission a new work, continuing their long standing connection with artisanal practices in Indonesia.
