Bali has a new space for contemporary art, the Russ Gallery, a place with a well-defined soul rooted in the local cultural and artistic ferment. Since the first exhibitions, the gallery has communicated its willingness to contribute to the regeneration of artists by providing support to young Balinese and Indonesian talents who do not have the space to present their works to art connoisseurs. The proposed aim is to offer emerging artists the opportunity to build their careers and to network with curators, collectors, art lovers, art critics and artists. The scheduled events combine different languages, from fashion to painting passing through the most contemporary installations. The works already exhibited broaden the view on the many pictorial styles of the island which, starting from tradition, arrive at a spiritual abstractionism and a pop in a local key, a development that certainly deserves a visit.
The purity of the offering to the gods in the Rejang Dance
Only very young dancers, a symbol of purity and sacredness, can perform the Rejang Dance in the internal area of the temple as an offering to the Gods.
Dedicated to the cultivation of rice and the protection of the island from spirits, it is a temple with structural characteristics different from other sacred places in Bali. Its position is strategic for its centrality and coolness.
It is one of the sacred dances of the of Bali Island, with a mystical meaning. The ceremony is intended to ask for salvation from a catastrophe or epidemic. The Sanghyang Dedari is different from other Balinese dances, because Sanghyang requires the dancer's body to be possessed.
