We are excited to announce our upcoming book,
the highly saturated oeuvre of KENDRA AHiMSA a.k.a Ardneks

The book explores his obsession with obscure music, the combination of cross-culture references, intergalactic deities, and dreamy tropicália. Kendra Ahimsa / Ardneks, an Indonesian-based Illustrator whose illustration is well known chiefly from L'imperatrice album covers, concert tour posters of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Khruangbin to the New York Times article editorial illustration.

His ultimate goal is for someone as far as Peru or Turkmenistan to discover his work. He wants to welcome everyone into a realm where a turban-wearing brother and a Taiwanese fried chicken lady can talk about their favorite city pop song by the beach.

Coming soon in September 2022

Coming soon–'TELLURIAN DRAMA'
by Riar Rizaldi


May 5th, 1923. The Dutch East Indies government celebrated the opening of a new radio station in West Java. It was called Radio Malabar. In March 2020, the local Indonesian government plans to reactivate the station as a historical site and tourist attraction. Written based on the forgotten texts by a prominent pseudo-anthropologist Drs. Munarwan, this book imagines what would have happened in between: the vital role of mountain in history; colonial ruins as an apparatus for geoengineering technology; and the invisible power of indigenous ancestral.

Riar Rizaldi works as an artist and filmmaker. His main focus is on the relationship between capital and technology, extractivism, and theoretical fiction. His works have been shown at Locarno Film Festival, BFI Southbank London, International Film Festival Rotterdam, NTT InterCommunication Center Tokyo, Centre Pompidou Paris, Times Museum Guangzhou, and National Gallery of Indonesia amongst others.

Munarwan, buku ini mengimajinasikan apa yang terjadi diantara itu semua: dari mulai spekulasi puing-puing kolonial sebagai teknologi rekayasa kebumian sampai peran vital dari gunung dalam sejarah teknologi di Indonesia.

Riar Rizaldi bekerja sebagai seniman dan pembuat film. Fokus kekaryaannya mencakup hubungan antara kapital dan teknologi, ekstraktivisme, materialitas, dan fiksi teoritis.
