Eko Nugroho is one of Indonesia\u2019s most provocative and original young artists whose style is a unique mix of Indonesia\u2019s rich traditions and popular culture tinged with dark humor. Using a distinctive blend of high and low art, Nugroho\u2019s Wayang Bocor is a contemporary form of theater in which puppets and actors weave together traditional elements of Indonesian wayang (shadow puppets) with live theater and scripts that cast a satiric view on contemporary subjects.<\/p>\n

In the Name of Semelah tells the story of how Islam came to Java, and became absorbed as a part of Javanese culture that included elements of Hinduism, Buddhism and animism. Street art, comic characters, folk art, traditional culture and video game culture collide to create a multimedia meditation on the issues of everyday life. Simultaneously playful and penetrating, this insightful work cuts across disciplines and cultures.<\/p>\n
