Who knows that extreme weathers that we experienced in the recent years, that have caused catastrophes in various parts of the world, had to do with significant changes in the substances of the earth’s atmosphere? Who knows that the changes of substances have also been influenced by the behavior of us, human being, especially by the way we make things and produce our daily needs? Who knows that we, designers, have also been contributing to those causes? Let’s see how ‘bad’ our contributions have been, and how ‘good’ we can do to make up for it, in our next discussion session about Climate Change and Design.

Karya Karina Saputri yang merekam sejawat-sejawat prianya dalam konteks personal berkait ruang kamar mereka masing-masing. Oleh Karin, kamar bukan hanya sebagai ruang fisik melainkan juga ruang batiniah. Kamar pribadi menurut Karin yang berkuliah di jurusan psikologi ini adalah juga sebentuk media representasi karakteristik manusia khususnya laki-laki. Karin memiliki ketertarikan pada penggalian karakteristik manusia khususnya pada teman-teman di sekitarnya.

Saat kita melihat foto seseorang, ini layaknya saat kita melihat orang bercermin dan kita melihat pantulan bayangannya. Ironisnya, orang yang bercermin itu tidak menyadari keberadaan kita. Bagaimanapun, fotografi juga mampu menjadi alat yang menegosiasikan pemahaman-pemahaman, mengafirmasi dan melegitimasi nilai-nilai baru. Fotografi memiliki potensi untuk memberi posisi tawar kepada pihak-pihak yang dianggap sebagai liyan dan menyimpang dari kecenderungan hegemonik. Farissa Achmadi yang akrab dipanggil Icha juga merekam sejawat-sejawat prianya.

Sekilas melihat nampak pria-pria sejawat Icha ini memiliki tato yang menempel di beberapa bagian tubuhnya. Dari perekaman-perekaman itu kita bisa merasakan bahwa Icha memiliki sebuah pembenaran atas kecenderungan tertentu yang bisa ditarik dari ranah subkultur.

Dalam tajuk Affair, Riksa Afiaty mencoba kemungkinan lain fotografi yang mampu menjadi medium tanda. Foto konsep Riksa menampilkan secara lebih jelas akan adanya rekayasa objek foto untuk menampilkan maksud tertentu. Mulai dari pose, warna, properti yang dipakai semuanya mengandung pemaknaan tertentu. Simbol dan ikon dipertunjukkan bisa menuntun atau mempertautkan pada makna yang dimaksud oleh si fotografer. Secara otomatis pemaknaan kita bakal lebih bukan hanya pada tataran denotatif dan harafiah melainkan juga pada sisi konotatif yang sarat akan permainan nilai.

Meicy Sitorus menampilkan dirinya mematut-matut diri untuk difoto sebagai pria melalui pakaiannya. Dari pakaiannya ia mencoba menggeneralisasi tipe-tipe pria berdasarkan pakaian dan penampilan luarnya. Yang ia tampilkan ini adalah sebuah “pemaknaan baru” (baca parodi) dari apa yang ia sering baca di majalah-majalah wanita. Suatu saat ia memiliki ketertarikan pada salah satu rubriknya yakni yang membahas tipe-tipe pria. Dari riset sederhana itu ia kemudian mencoba membayangkan seperti apa menjadi pria-pria yang telah dikategorisasi oleh media.

Pasar Seni 2010 adalah suatu momen gerakan kebudayaan dimana menjadi suatu titik penting sebagai sebuah semangat zaman. Pasar Seni 2010 tentunya memiliki visi, misi dan tujuan, namun permasalahan yang selalu terjadi adalah tiga elemen diatas ini biasanya hanya sebagai sebuah bentuk formalitas. Pasar Seni 2010 kali ini berusaha agar hal tersebut menjadi elemen inti untuk menikmati apa itu Pasar Seni 2010.
Kami melihat Pasar Seni sebagai sebuah kekaryaan, sehingga proses kekaryaan yang dilakuan secara komunal ini dirancang untuk akhirnya mampu diimajinasikan bersama. Proses imajinasi yang dilakukan adalah, bahwa visi adalah sebuah kacamata yang digunakan untuk menikmati pasar seni ini sendiri.
Visi Pasar Seni 2010 adalah " Manusia yang mampu memposisikan dirinya dalam sebuah orientasi akan nilai-nilai yang terlupakan.".
Dalam wacana yang muncul dalam pembangunan Pasar Seni 2010, konteks ruang sosiologis menjadi satu faktor utama. Pertimbangan menuliskan kalimat "Manusia yang mampu memposisikan dirinya…" adalah sebuah bentuk tafsir dari keadaan yang ada dalam masyarakat arus informasi hari ini. Lanjutan dari kalimat ini yaitu "… dalam sebuah orientasi akan nilai-nilai yang terlupakan" adalah bentuk tafsir kami akan adanya nilai grassroots atau bentuk-bentuk naluriah yang hakiki namun tak tersentuh oleh masyarakat hari ini.
Misi Pasar Seni 2010 adalah " Menghidupkan kembali perspektif lain dari dalam Masyarakat. Untuk mengangkat sebuah kesadaran tentang posisi manusia dalam mencapai kenyamanan yang berkelanjutan".
Dalam penjelasan tulisan ini adalah mengenai bagaimana masyarakat mampu melihat dengan perspektif lebih luas. Apabila dianalogikan, Pasar Seni 2010 adalah bagaimana akhirnya tiap tiap individu manusia memiliki rasa bangga akan apa yang dia perjuangkan,impikan,dan miliki, sehingga tiap individu memiliki suatu gairah yang lebih dan memiliki kebanggaan akan apa yang dilakukannya. Hal ini dituliskan dalam asumsi stereotype mengenai apa yang dikerjakan.
Tujuan Pasar Seni 2010 adalah "Manusia berada dalam proses integrasi dari apa yang dia dapatkan di Pasar Seni. Sehingga mampu menentukan posisi dan arah yang akan ditentukannya."
Pasar Seni 2010 meyakini bahwa perubahan bukan suatu hal yang instan, sehingga Pasar Seni menyadari bahwa posisinya adalah hanya sebagai jembatan saja. Apa yang terjadi di Pasar Seni adalah proses inspirasi, kami lebih mengharapkan masyarakat sadar akan potensi dirinya dan mampu lebih mengembangkan potensinya karena telah mendapatkan berbagai ide dari Pasar Seni.
Pasar Seni 2010, sebuah akhir sekaligus awal dari suatu dekade. Menjadi titik penting dari semangat perubahan zaman. Perubahan yang penuh kehangatan antar setiap individu yang menjalaninya.
Maka kami berharap untuk dapat bertemu dengan anda dan mengucap salam serta bertegur-sapa dengan penuh senyum dan kehangatan di dalamnya.
