The Poem is a Temple | Now until Nov. 27 | FREE | Western Front gallery

Highlighting New Zealand multidisciplinary artist Sriwhana Spong, this exhibit features a film and sculpture, both of which connect to Spong’s Indonesian heritage. The film, titled The painter-tailor, is a personal family portrait and a commentary on how colonization, military invasions, and the tourism industry have affected Bali’s image. Meanwhile, the sculpture, Instrument H (Monster Chicken), doubles as an instrument replicating the sound of a Balinese gamelan — a percussion orchestra. Check out Western Front’s website for more information about this exhibit and visiting the gallery.
