Julian Abraham "Togar" engages in deep research, creating analytically driven artworks that merge installation, sound, music, programming, and science. His interdisciplinary practice is rooted in rhythms and systems, which—depending on the context—can take the form of preservation, initiation, intervention, support, negotiation, hacking, or critique. The artist often investigates strategies for navigating and interacting with the realities around him, underscoring how even small interventions can spark meaningful change and nurture the growth of sustainable support structures.

An OK_space To Rest is a site-specific installation with sound components designed for rest. This installation is derived from Julian Abraham Togar’s ongoing OK STUDIO project (2020-present), which explores how a studio can function as a site of rest and human connection beyond its usual function as a site of production for a single artist.

This resting space incorporates live performances, videos, audio works, kinetic sculptures, and audience participation. The geometric design—a defining character of Islamic art—on both the tapestry and the painting is inspired by writer and artist Danarto's Habis Tak Sudah (Over Yet Undone), a poem of 1,015 pages, with the words arranged in diamond shapes. Danarto (1940-2018) is celebrated for his abstract approach to literature that conveys spiritual and timeless truths.

An OK_space To Rest also features an open, self-playing composition with an instrumental system that includes an ocean drum, shruti box, gong, and megaphone, inviting the audience to lay down on the carpet and become immersed in the surrounding sounds through active listening and observation. These percussive sounds are accompanied by a video that documents the process of fermentation, another critical aspect of the artist’s practice. The aphorisms in his signage paintings draw from a wide range of cultural references. For instance, one of the artist’s phrases, "Butterflies Inside The Belly Of The Beast," resonates with Muhammad Ali's famous quote, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," which describes his boxing style.

Accompanying An OK_space To Rest is his film Drummers Gonna Drum #03, produced on Run, a tiny island in the eastern Indonesian archipelago. The artist taps drumsticks on various surfaces—tree trunks, boats, and even water. In 1667, Britain traded Run to the Dutch in exchange for Manhattan, driven by the Dutch ambition to dominate the nutmeg trade in Southeast Asia, a pursuit that soon faltered. Togar's work draws attention to the profound interconnectedness between two seemingly disparate places—one a small fishing village, the other now a global financial hub—and the colonial transaction that links their histories.
