Aditya Novali's presentation, Tender Notes, considers the history of Indonesia's currency as a visual archive of the nation's constructed self-image. Drawing from the dense mosaic of motifs extracted from Indonesian bank notes issued since 1945, including landscapes, monuments and buildings, ceremonial practices that once served to stabilize state narratives of unity and progress, Novali loosens them from their ideological moorings and reconfigures them into fragments in motion.

The presentation comprises Novali's rotatable paintings of modular panels that can be physically turned to reveal alternate compositions in dialogue with paintings on transparent plexiglass. Throughout ARTJOG MOTIF: AMALAN, performers periodically rotate the panels to complicate the viewer's interpretive footing. This engineered mutability is not only a reflection of contemporary instability across politics, economics, culture, and private beliefs but also offers a model for how meaning might be formed through shared gestures.

By scrambling and recomposing these once-static symbols, Novali visualizes how histories thought to be singular are porous and entangled. Stripped of serial numbers and monetary value, these images lose their function as legal tender and begin to operate as something more intimate: a collective palimpsest of memories and relations. In Tender Notes, Novali encourages a participatory sense of meaning-making through shared acts of imagination and care. Making value, he suggests, can be a field for unofficial story-making in which civic memory, not central authority, mediates national meaning.

Rotatable paintings will be shifted to occur two times daily, between 3PM and 7PM.
