- Abstract
In the last two decades, working collectively has become a trend in art creation, not only in the production of artworks but also in curation practices. This research focuses on the collective curatorial practice of Ruangrupa at Documenta Fifteen. Ruangrupa is an artist collective founded in 2000 in Jakarta. Ruangrupa was appointed as curator for the 15th Documenta international contemporary art exhibition in biennale format that is held every five years at Kassel, Germany. Ruangrupa used the idea of Lumbung as a mechanism for managing and sharing common resources. The method used in this research is descriptive-qualitative. The theory used is Curatorial Studies and Art Collective to analyze the curation practice. The research concludes that the curatorial practice carried out by Ruangrupa has decentralized the role of the curator. As curator, Ruangrupa works with collective values that have been practiced for a long time. Collective curatorial practice carried out by artist collectives is something new for Documenta’s operational system and a new phenomenon in curatorial studies.
