ROH is delighted to represent ikkibawiKrrr at the Statement Sector of Art Basel in Basel 2026 with their installation, Lagu Lalu Lalu : Passing Song, Another Passing Song.
How do we meet our ancestors when we have lost our ground, both as a physical space and a sense of belonging? Lagu Lalu Lalu continues ikkibawiKrrr’s ongoing focus on stones and places that endure time through their seclusion from urban life. The installation brings together research conducted across South Korea and Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, developed in ongoing relationship with communities who hold an unbroken proximity to their ancestral lives, rather than treating preserved relics as heritage. ikkibawiKrrr’s practice of charcoal rubbing, which they affectionately term as to “rock n’ feel”, is to touch time through physical contact with weathered stone surfaces. From this contact, ikkibawiKrrr develops a practice that moves across musical, sculptural, performance and documentary means, participating in the continuous presence of art in life.
ikkibawiKrrr (established 2021, South Korea) is a visual research band consisting of members Gyeol Ko and Jieun Cho. Their artistic approach is informed by the traits of moss, which expand their worlds by interacting closely with their surroundings along the thin boundary between air and soil.
