The active number of participants in this year's Young Curators Forum at Yogyakarta proves to highlight the promising growth of Indonesia's art world. In this opinion piece, Mitha Budhyarto continues her musings of curatorial practice in Indonesia.
Over the last years, Indonesia's contemporary art world has given birth to more galleries, biennials, fairs, and artists. An overwhelming growth that cultivated a specific area of expertise - curating. In this piece, Mitha Budhyarto shares about the important role of the curator.
In spring 2012 Three's Company Creative Consultancy's Toby Meadows visited Whiteboard Journal's headquarters in Kemang. We sat down with him in W_Space where he shared with us insights on Indonesia's creative industry, particularly in fashion. Having worked with many internationally known brands, he also gives us some information as to how Indonesian labels can compete in the international market.
Always an intriguing personality, Whiteboard Journal had the opportunity to visit Nia Dinata in Kalyana Shira, an independent film production house she co-founded. With Athina Ibrahim as host, we asked her questions regarding public conception of her works and some of the projects she is currently working on.
