Sanga Bhuana art event Bali rejects reclamation 2015
When Bali is undermined by investors
DENPASAR – “The island of Bali, as a green and intact piece of land will turn black in the long-run. Its beauty is almost invisible covered as it is by real investements, revitalization and reclamation,” said the unseen voice as the silhouette of a clenched fist emerged with the word “reject” in bright red.
Such, was the beginning of performance art piece by artist Made Bayak at the Sanga Bhuana Bali Art Event Bali Rejecting Reclamation 2015 on Padanggalak Beach, Denpasar, on Sunday (Dec. 13). From 16:30 until about 18:00, Made Bayak wrote the three words ‘investment, revitalization and reclamation’ on a large-sized map of the Bali Island, cover the image of Bali itself. “I deliberately chose the moment of dusk –the transition of day into night, to perform this piece. Just as the Tri Sandhya prayer finishes, so does my performance,” he said. Bayak explained that the painting he made portrays the current condition of Bali. Bali is constantly being bombarded with developments, one of which is reclamation plan disguised as the revitalization of Benoa Bay. The plan is referred to as a greedy form of investment. “The performance art piece mostly uses the color black, to symbolize the current condition of Bali. Right now, investments in Bali tend to be based on pure greed, I don’t mean that I am anti-investment, however investments in tourism need to be more eco-friendly and be socially just towards towards Bali’s

In third with $10.5 million was Disney’s animated “The Good Dinosaur.” Meanwhile “Creed,” a next-generation version of the “Rocky” series, landed in fourth with total revenue of $10.1 million.

communities,” said Bayak. This is the fourth series of paintings that Bayak has created on this subject and this is the third time that he has used the words ‘investment, revitalization and reclamation’. In one other piece, he used the word “sale” and drew a barcode on a map of Bali. He deliberately uses simple symbols that can be easily understood, and although he depicts Bali in the most dire of conditions, obvisouly he hopes that his beloved island will not become like that in the future. The Sanga Bhuana Art Event Bali Rejecting Reclamation 2015 also displayed a sculpture of 13 meter high and 5 meters wide clenched fist, as a symbol of the linga yoni of popular resistance of the Balinese people against the Benoa Bay reclamation plan. The sculpture was paraded to the shore, accompanied by hundreds of people. News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

In her paper, Agnieszka Sobocinska describes various factors that make Australian travelers happy to spend their holiday in Bali. These factors include; geographic proximity, nature and cultural differences, media and travel agencies’ promotion as well as efficient package deals. Bali started being promoted
on a large scale by the Australian media in the early 1970’s. According to Agnieszka, in 1982, a 9 days 7 nights holiday package deal from Australia to Bali was sold for AUD 490 including return ticket, accommodations and meals. “This is a very affordable package, when compared to the weekly wage of
Australian workers at the time that was about AUD 340”. She said that data shows that in 2014, more than a quarter (991,923 of a total of 3.7 million) of all foreign visitors to Bali were Australian nationals. Continue to page 2 Popularity ...
