Menggali Pustaka Candi: Sarasehan, Pertunjukan, Instalasi
Candi Kimpulan di Area Perpustakaan Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta, 11 Februari 2014
Pada 11 Desember 2009, dua buah candi secara tak sengaja ditemukan oleh para pekerja yang tengah menggali tanah untuk pembangunan perpustakaan milik Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) Yogyakarta. Candi yang kemudian dikenal dengan nama Candi Kimpulan ini diduga berasal dari masa Mataram Kuno, abad IX sampai X. Pihak UII kemudian mendesain ulang bangunan perpustakaannya (dan menambahkan ruang museum) untuk merespon penemuan candi ini. Kini, bangunan perpustakaan lembaga pendidikan bernapaskan Islam itu memeluk areal Candi Kimpulan yang Hindu. Kalanari Theatre Movement dan Padepokan Lemahputih mencoba merespon fenomena menarik ini dengan menggelar sebuah gerakan budaya berupa sarasehan, pertunjukan dan pameran instalasi bertajuk Menggali Pustaka Candi. Kami mencoba mengaitkan ide tentang candi, museum dan perpustakaan dengan praktik penciptaan ilmu dan seni. Kami juga didorong oleh kekhawatiran akan fenomena bergesernya makna candi, museum dan perpustakaan menjadi monumen mati.
