The practice of curatorship in Indonesia is related to a number of local dynamics, such as the tension between the public and political domain; the state versus the market; and the interfacing between local and international art world. By using Indonesia as a case study, Agung’s presentation aims at a deeper understanding of the practice of curatorship, especially in Southeast Asia.
