Building on his ongoing research around the pillaging of land in Indonesia, Maryanto investigates the burgeoning exploitation of sand in the area. He reflects on the growing tensions between traditional miners and corporations, where the latter is accelerating the extent of sand mining in Indonesia towards greater destruction. His evocative, black and white paintings, Miner Bivouac and Kali Boyong, bring to life the asymmetrical power relations that animate around this dangerous but financially lucrative industry. In Javanese mythology it is said: Merapi always gives everything as needed and always gives it, so take what is sufficient. Through these works, Maryanto draws on the transnational politics of volcanic sand mining and warns us of the receding boundaries of place-based knowledge, traditional livelihoods, and pastoral ways of life.
