The Meaning of Story Line in the Interior Exhibition "17/72: Senandung Ibu Pertiwi"

Abstract

The painting exhibition  at the 17/72 exhibition "Senandung Ibu Pertiwi" which took place on 17 to 30 August 2017 at the Indonesian National Gallery in Jakarta was very interesting. In the interior  showroom layout, many compromise with some of the visual elements, such as shapes, symbols, graphics. The graphic element in showroom layout is closely related to the line of narratives formed to tell the contents of the interior  showroom. The narrative line in the interior  showroom is a presentation of the Presidential Republic of Indonesia's palace painting collection with the theme of the motherland. This paper aims to provide an overview of the power of line narratives on the management of art object collections related to the attractiveness of interior exhibition space 17/72. To explore in-depth analysis of narrative lines in interior showrooms of 17/72 the author refers to qualitative and semiotic methods, so the power of line narratives has the potential to become a reference for determining the temporary interior showroom layout of the exhibition 17/72.
