About SAGE Residency

Southeast Asia Art Group Exchanged Residency (SAGER) is a regional residency programme organized by House of MATAHATI (Malaysia), TENGGARA Artland (Indonesia) and Projectspace Pilipinas (Philippines).

The exchanged residency takes in artists with at least five years of experience and SAGER enables Malaysian, Indonesian, and Filipino artists to foster and strengthen regional ties, as well as to network and establish a better understanding of their neighbours.

The residency entails 30-days each in Kuala Lumpur, Jogjakarta and Manila. During this time, artists-in-residences not only produce artworks for exhibitions in each city, but also partake in studio visits, gallery and art institution visits, as well as introductions to significant art collectors and art communities.

Aside from these physical dialogues, SAGER also fosters a visual dialogue, as artists from these three countries are encouraged to engage in cross-cultural meditations and to broach new visual languages in their works.

House of MATAHATI (HOM) is an independent art space consists of a gallery and studio facilities. located in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. Started in 2007, it is an artist-run initiative to provide a venue for events conducive to the development of local and regional art activities. One of HOM’s core objectives is to promote and nurture emerging artists through its MATAHATI Art Residency programme. As a platform to help artists, in the form of financial assistance or encouragement, the MATAHATI Art Fund and MATAHATI Art Award were established. Besides supporting home-grown talents, HOM facilitates a networking between its Southeast Asian counterparts through dialogues or joint-venture programmes, by organising exhibitions, such as the annual ‘Artriangle’, which invites artists from neighbouring countries to showcase their artworks in a major group show. HOM is funded and run by MATAHATI, a collective which was founded in 1993 by five Malaysian artists; Ahmad Fuad Osman, Ahmad Shukri Mohamed, Bayu Utomo Radjikin, Masnoor Ramli Mahmud and Hamir Soib @Mohamed. A familiar name in the Malaysian art scene, the MATAHATI group found recognition and success via its collaborative artistic practice as a group as well as individually.

Ranah Seni TENGGARA or TENGGARA Art Land is an art group which organizes and initiates activities in art and culture, especially in the field of visual art that focuses on multicultural art and the appreciation of plurality, concentrating on the Southeast Asia region. TENGGARA works fervently in the instigation of cultural projects, establishing relationships amongst different communities as well as developing a regional art network within its own country and across its neighboring countries. The group was formed on 7 January 2010 by nine Indonesian artists who come from different backgrounds but are brought together by a shared vision and through similar practice. They consist of: Dadi Setiyadi, Saftari, Januri, Agus Baqul Purnomo, Yaksa Agus, Heri Purwanto. Sumbul Pranov, Ludi Astaghis and Suryadi. Although Ranah Seni TENGGARA is still a relatively new group, the members has been in existence actively initiating various art and cultural activities in Yogyakarta and other cities in Indonesia as well Southeast Asia since year 2000.
