Who says that only serious artwork merits a place on the wall?
A simple pinboard featuring postcards, photos or children's drawings makes a very personal piece of art.
There was an artist, Kurt Schwiters ( kalo gak salah ), who first introduced this concept of art.
He was particularly fond of 'found' objects - from tickets and bits of linoleum to worn out shoe soles - which he used to create collages and fragmented arrangements.
It didn't involve a paintbrush or canvas but the end result was still powerful.
Actually there are many different contemporary ways to develop his original idea.
You could, for example, make a montage of momentos from foreign trips as a visual reminder of your travels, or run a single line of postcards along a wall or around the room.
You could even decorate an entire wall of the lavatory with a collage.
Another idea is to update a postcard collage to reflect the seasons, using pictures of blue skies and tropical waters in the summer and rainy Jakarta when night is come, or whatever it is.
The ultimate personal collage, however, is one that is made up of photos of your friends.
The appeal of pinboard art is usually offers fascinating insights into the owner's personality and lifestyle.
Put simply, it is the art of ( real ) life.
