Prestige Indonesia - March 2023

Bu konuda

The subject of art has long been an inspiration to those pursuing the finer things in life. I am fortunate to have seen more than my fair share of global art exhibitions. Every time, I am always fascinated by the multitude of dialogues, experimentations, and interpretations around art objects as they evolve beyond just any artist’s medium of expression. Add design to the mix, and it gets even more enjoyable. After all, these are two fineries that every culture and civilization through time immemorial may only produce when they have reached the apex of their growth. Thus, this issue’s theme of Art & Design celebrates these two elements of human ingenuity through our regional perspective. I can’t think of anyone better suited to represent this issue’s theme as our Cover Story than my favourite art mom and esteemed art enthusiast with one of the most impressive collections, Noorani Sukardi Soeprapto. Looking at her busy schedule flying around the world organizing exhibitions and sharing the works of talented Indonesian artists, I’m very proud to feature her story in this issue. Catch our other personalities in this issue, including Carlo Colombo, considered one of the most important Italian architects on the international scene, designer duo Kyoko Inoda and Nils Sveje of the renowned INODA+SVEJE, and veteran independent fine art curator Enin Supriyanto. There is no shortage of artistic talents in Asia, and I’m dedicating our Art & Culture column to these rising artists from the region—each fully deserving more recognition and opportunity—including homegrown Alexander Sebastianus and Sinta Tantra, whose work I had the pleasure of enjoying during ART SG back in January. Look out for these rising stars because you will surely hear more of them before long. When you really think about it, art and design are inseparable from our modern way of
life.
