GELAR PAMERAN KERIS NASIONAL 2012 - short review
Well ...
the exhibition lasted for three days, from 20/11/2012 to 23/11/2012 in Museum Mpu Tantular, near my home in Sidoarjo it is said to exhibit more than 600 pieces of tosan aji, as well as 50 blades, which are submitted to the Keris Making competition held in the same museum at 8th May 2012 - Sept 2012. Blades entered the exhibition comes from 11 state museum, member of Mitra Praja Utama, representatives from 38 cities in Java, Museum Keris in TMII, Museum keris in Purworejo, and Keris's lover communities It is sad to see that not many people wanted to see keris anymore ... I came this morning and already half of the display has been dismantled ... only about a third is remaining and can be photographed basically the exhibition consists of 3 venue - the collector's item venue - the result from Keris Making Competition - shops ... (bursa keris) all blades are displayed in glass case with adequate lighting ... too bad I did not bring any magnifying glass with me ... it will surely be nice to see details of pamor and garap on each keris the odd thing is they placed a label on each keris, identifying the dhapur, luks, materials used an pamor ... but no tangguh armed only with phone camera, I took several dozens of pictures ... mostly with what left of the exhibition, several beautiful keris, details of pamor and few pictures of bursa keris - so pardon the image quality I also took several pics as wallpapers ... anyhow, can someone tell me how to upload 30 - 50 images easily ? now still resizing the images, so it will be easy to look at ... I took more than 150 pics and this forum only allowed 5 pics in each post anyone interested in larger quality image, just ask ... will post it or email it in its original size (no too good quality, though) Last edited by satsujinken; 23rd November 2012 at 11:20 AM. |

When a tangguh is nominated for something, it is very often an opinion, sometimes just about everybody will agree with the opinion, other times nobody except the person who gave the tangguh will ever have heard of it.
Some people interpret tangguh as "style", other people interpret it as "period", or "era". I feel that possibly the organisers of this exhibition were wise to avoid offering information on tangguh. At other exhibitions I have seen very recent keris identified as "Mataram" and Majapahit" & etc. |

I don't think that tangguh itself is so confusing, once we understand the indicators and the parameters that must be applied, as well as the founding logic of tangguh, it is not at all confusing, but it is very true that people are often confused by some of the opinions offered.
As I have commented previously, more than once, at the present time everybody wants to stick a tangguh on everything, and this is not at all what the system was originally designed to do. |
