KRENENX UTOPIA by Ican Harem & Pinkygurl

Held at Cekai O!K in Tokyo, Krenenx Utopia showcased the bold and experimental fashion of Balinese artists Ican Harem and Pinky Gurl. Featuring unique pieces like embroidered jackets made from Islamic prayer tapestries and a large shirt crafted from car-washing cloth, the exhibition merged traditional and unconventional materials. The artists’ work challenges hyper-consumerism by blending multiple garments into new creations, reflecting their roots in Bali’s thriving alternative scene. This exhibition offered a glimpse into the evolving cultural landscape of Bali through fashion, art, and music.

The exhibition’s visual identity was designed by Vicky De Visser, who designed the poster and accompanying sticker sheets. Drawing inspiration from the makeshift DIY stalls of Balinese markets and the local tradition of tuning motorcycles, Vicky transformed the market stalls into sleek, tuned vehicles.

vicky de visser

is a multidisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam. Her making practice is anchored in socio-political contexts, embraces ecological thinking and dives into object oriented ontology. She combines her visual and sonic research with a deep interest in the formation and decline of communitas during public presentations.

paroah

is the moniker vicky uses for everything sound.

When selecting tunes, she is known for heating up the dance floor with curveball after curveball, like a top level game of defensive, high rpm table tennis. That is, if the ball was your brain, and the expertly controlled, spin-imparting bats were unrelentingly fresh waves of acid, gabber, and other friendly yoga terrorism genres. 

Aside from dance floor energising she explored more ambient realms with her experimental mixtape series ‘a letter to… a post-order’ radio show on Root Radio Istanbul. 

She is co-founder of Non Bull Beats and the sub-label Free Shit of Spooky Shit,  and is currently active as an experimental electronic music and post-club promotor for Ruisburo at De Ruimte, Amsterdam.
