ART|JOG returns this year with a new theme that provokes artists to bring fresh perspectives to their works in hopes of getting art closer to the public.
The annual art fair that has made Yogyakarta a barometer for the development of Indonesia’s contemporary arts returns for its 10th edition this year from 19 May to 19 June. 74 artists from Indonesia and abroad will exhibit hundreds of artworks. The fair takes place for the second time at Jogja National Museum, following a successful run last year. Previous editions had taken place at Taman Budaya.
Joining this year’s fair are top local artists such as Agus Suwage, Angki Purbandono, Nyoman Masriadi Tromarama and Agan Harahap with each of them featuring new artworks for the event. Artworks that should not be missed include interactive guitar installations by Soni Irawan and knitting installations from artist Mulyana Mogus. There are also several collaborations, including Angki and actor Nicholas Saputra. They will show an artwork on an elephant sanctuary in Sumatra where Nicholas volunteers.
For this year’s commissioned work, the organiser has appointed young artist Wedhar Riyadi, known for his strong lines and bright colours, with graphic pop/pulp imagery. For ART|JOG 10, he will build giant balloons installations that resemble eyes to be put in giant ponds. His piece is expected to change the main façade of the building where the event is held, a unique feature of ART|JOG since its inception.
