ROH is delighted to return to Art Basel Hong Kong at Galleries (Booth 1D38), with works by Davy Linggar, ikkibawiKrrr, Kei Imazu, Maria Taniguchi, Mella Jaarsma, Oototol, Stella Zhong, Syaiful Aulia Garibaldi, Thao Nguyen Phan and Tith Kanitha.
Spanning practices throughout Asia, the presentation reflects ROH's ongoing commitment to artists whose work engages questions of material transformation, historical memory, and shifting ecological and social conditions. A Kabinett presentation by Maria Taniguchi showcases a monumental painting that expresses the most recent developments within her ongoing series of untitled brick paintings, where tonal variations tending toward transparency reveal the work's underlying structure and foundations.
At the venue's Auditorium, Herbert Hans (of the art collective Tromarama) participates in the Conversations program in the panel Beyond Technology: Kathleen Ditzig and Herbert Hans, on Thursday 27 March, 1.45–2.30 pm. Later that evening, ikkibawiKrrr's video work Dances with Trash (2024) screens at 6.00–7.30 pm will be presented as part of a special screening event co-presented by KAMS and ArtReview, Life as a System: Time, Labor, and Storytelling in Contemporary Moving Image.

Davy Linggar is a celebrated Indonesian artist who works primarily through the mediums of photography and painting. There is a substantial breadth to his practice in his investigation of the things that constitute an image and its interrelatedness to perception, memory, form, feeling, and experience. His acute sensibilities are then translated into a diverse array of possibilities – be it through moving images, photographs, paintings, or drawings. In establishing a distinctive aesthetic vernacular, Linggar engages with and through architecture, popular culture, fashion, and nature. He deftly negotiates, and finds balance, between many different forms of energies and forces.
Linggar finished his training at the Faculty of Fine Art and Design, Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung, Indonesia in 1995 and at UGH Essen, Essen, Germany in 1997. Selected solo exhibitions include View Finder at ROH, Jakarta, Indonesia (2024); Aperture at ROH, Jakarta, Indonesia (2022); Cut at AAAAHHH!!!
