Themed "Jiwa" (Souls), the biennale seeks to present something that is unusual but meaningful as an energy, spirit and motivation, said the curator Annissa Gultom on Tuesday as reported by Antara news agency.
In addition to exhibitions, the event will also begin the publishing of a series of books of critical writings on Indonesian art history today. (dan/kes)
