The former was supported by Sotheby's and features various works created by the prominent accessory designer.
Meanwhile, Alexander’s exhibition, themed "#LetMeTellYouAStory", presents photographs with a twist, piquing the audience’s curiosity.
In addition to those interesting exhibitions, 2018 Art Jakarta also presents Green House by Maggie Joan. Appearing as a pop-up restaurant, the concept is a result of collaboration between interior designer Kezia Karin, landscape designer Satya Putra and Viro, a company that produces eco-friendly faux material.
Kezia said during a media session that the interior used anyaman (woven) pieces made of materials produced by Viro, showing that anyaman can be a contemporary piece too.
To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Art Jakarta 2018 also presents "10 for 10", a conceptual museum-like exhibition featuring 10 art installations made by local prominent artists, such as Eddy Susanto and Kemalezedine. (kes)
