EXHIBITON:  Entertaining Them Who Wait Mural by: Bujangan Urban


Waiting in the front of Cilandak Town Square shopping mall will be less boring because there is a new painted mural along the highway wall right in front of the mall, made by Bujangan Urban. This mural is part of site-specific workshop held by Dewan Kesenian Jakarta to support the Jakarta Biennale 2009 event. Site-specific workshop is one of two workshops held under the Battle Zone, the other one is Billboard workshop. These workshops challenged the artists to open new space or new ideas on specific public locations chosen with particular urban issues.
 Bujangan Urban or usually called Jablay chose the wall in front of Cilandak Town Square because he passes it and notice there must be some people waiting in front the mall every day, staring a dirty and filthy wall. The idea of making mural that can entertain people and accompany them at the same time went on from his observation and research about the location. The mural comprises a sentence saying, “SABAR SEBENTAR, KU KAN DATANG” which means “be patient for a moment, I’m on my way”. The sentence is decorated with rich visual elements in the midst of colored background dominated by pastel colors, such as pink, yellow, and blue.
