Carte Blanche: Anxiety is a group exhibition of works on paper by Indonesian artists.
When someone says, “I have it on paper”, it usually refers to something that binds two or more parties in a legal sense. It is an official promise that something must be done, more likely within a certain time frame. This marks the end of a negotiation. In the arts, however, it is almost the complete opposite. Paper is treated as a start, as a beginning. It is used for sketching, it is used before things become paintings, sculptures, installations, or whatever. It is okay to be wrong on paper. Paper represents ideas, thoughts, and try-outs. There is no certain time frame for things on paper to be executed. This exhibition begins with questioning the idea of paper as a representative of ideas. What power does paper have? What power does it render?
