Biennale Jogja X [Jogja Jamming]

Banner in front of Yogyakarta’s Cultural Center (TAMAN BUDAYA YOGYAKARTA) building, with Javanese script that reads “Seni Agawe Santosa” (which means “art towards prosperity”) What if Yogyakarta becomes a giant gallery? This is exactly what happens between December 10, 2009 – January 10, 2010. Various art activities are performed all over the town of Yogyakarta. This year, the biannual event’s theme is “Jogja Jamming: Art Movement Archives”, which is intended to present a kind of art kaleidoscope during the era of 1940 to 21st century. The archives are presented in the form of exhibitions by prominent artists in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas with various themes.
