Tromarama
Tromarama is an art collective founded in 2006 in Bandung, Indonesia, consisting of Febie Babyrose, Ruddy Hatumena, and Herbert Hans. The group's name is derived from the words "trombone," "terompet" (Indonesian for trumpet), and "rama," meaning harmony.
The main focus of Tromarama's art is the relationship between humans and technology, as well as the impact of technology on society and culture. The collective's work often incorporates a range of media including video, installation, sculpture, and performance, and is characterized by a playful and irreverent approach to exploring complex themes. The collective also frequently uses found objects and everyday materials in their work, highlighting the ways in which technology has become an integral part of our daily lives.
Tromarama has presented solo exhibitions at various prestigious venues worldwide, such as the Liverpool Biennial Fringe, Gwangju Biennale, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, National Gallery of Victoria, and Mori Art Museum in Japan. The collective has also been featured in numerous group exhibitions, including those at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) in Manila, Frankfurter Kunstverein, APT 7 QAGOMA in Brisbane, and the Singapore Art Museum.
