Lintang Desa
Documentation from the opening of "Lintang Desa" Exhibition by Moelyono and Kebonsari villagers. Performance was held in Cemeti Art House, Yogyakarta, August 5, 2004. In the courtyard of Cemeti Art House limasan space, one can find buried gamelan set, telling the story of events in 1965 where PKI (Indonesian Communist Party) was the one labeling art. Beforehand, the exhibition was opened with a Ketoprak Tani Lintang Abang show with an act “Lintang Pepadang” from Paguyuban Ketoprak Desa Kebonsari attended by hundreds of people who took part in plaing lesung (rice pounding tool) with the people of Kebonsari village, who apparently have art potential in that region.

Full Description
In another installation exhibition displayed on gallery walls, cattle feed was displayed, such as jackfruit leaves, pete, lamtoro, sengon laut as well as grass. These plants symbolize the binds of the people of this village to stay and enjoy live in the village. What the people of Kebonsari presented aims to become means for the people from outside the villages to feel the spirit of farming culture, as well as a sense of togetherness.
‘Lintang Desa” exhibition was a result of a dialogue with the villagers who demonstrated how people have long held a conviction that art can become means to express thoughts, trigger an act of reflection, as well as an outlook of the future. Through art, villages are able to formulate what happened in their own village which they then communicate to fellow villagers.
