Art Residency in Yogyakarta, Indonesia


From September the 6th until December the 2nd I will do an art residency in the Cemeti Art House in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, commissioned by Heden in The Hague.
The program is called 'Hot Wave'. For three months, three artists from three countries: Indonesia, the Netherlands and Australia are given the opportunity to concentrate on work, experiment and interact with other artists, professionals and the community. Since 1988, Cemeti Art House has been actively promoting and stimulating practices in the contemporary Indonesian art scene and art practices on a wider international platform.
