ROH is pleased to present our ROH Projects Projects presentation for Art Jakarta 2023, an ongoing series of curated presentations in dialogue with our main presentation. This year the project focuses on a dialogue between Dimz (b. 1985 Seoul, Korea) and Kaseno (b. 1986 Okayama, Japan), whose works are informed and influenced by subcultures outside of conventional art practices— graffiti, tattoos, fashion, and sneakers— and yet contain intersections with art in terms of their respective fundamental principles and ideas. DO IT refers to the incorporation of autodidactic processes of artmaking that go beyond institutional education and art history, and how such processes require working through action, as opposed to being weighed upon by constructs that are overly theoretical in nature.

ROH is pleased to present a special installation by Eko Nugroho (b. 1977, Yogyakarta, Indonesia) at Art Jakarta Spot, in collaboration with Arario Gallery. Titled Under The Tree, Nugroho presents a new installation that highlights modern Indonesian society and its various social strata, and the work reflects upon its inherent dynamic interrelatedness in relation to the current political climate.

ROH also presents a new set of nine new sculptures by Faisal Habibi (b.1984, Jakarta, Indonesia) titled Elastic Elastic at our second Art Jakarta Spot location. Habibi is an artist who is deeply concerned with material culture; interrogating its many nuances by critically, and playfully at times, positing and reconsidering the sensibilities of familiar everyday objects as well as its respective visual syntax in the quotidian.

We are also pleased to share a special project for Art Jakarta between Syaiful Aulia Garibaldi and MINI. In this project Garibaldi has developed a membrane composed of Tillandsia Usneoides plants, locally known as Jenggot Musa, overlayed upon the MINI. The collaboration extends Garibaldi’s practice in terms of investigating the relationship between nature and our daily lives. The work camouflages the MINI, performing an act of mimicry with its surroundings the way that flora in nature mutates and adapts to its environments.

Aditya Novali received his Bachelor of Engineering in Architecture from Universitas Katolik Parahyangan, Bandung, Indonesia, in 2002; and an IM Master of Conceptual Design from the Design Academy Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 2008. Novali works with a variety of materials, often first conceiving an idea and then finding the right medium to transcribe his vision. His background in architecture influences his sensitivity to structure, space, and knowledge of construction – key elements of his approach and aesthetic. Addressing themes such as boundaries, identities, materialism, and urban life, Novali’s work interacts with the viewer and transforms with each viewing.

Novali’s work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and institutions both locally and internationally. Some of his previous exhibitions include recent solo presentations New Obsolescence: ADITYAVOVALI at ROH, Jakarta, Indonesia (2023); WHY at Tumurun Museum, Solo, Indonesia (2022); ME:DI:UM with ROH Projects at Liste Art Fair, Basel, Switzerland (2019); Significant Other at ShanghArt Gallery, Singapore (2019); Caprice with ROH Projects at Art Basel Hong Kong: Discoveries, Hong Kong (2018); and ACRYLIC at ROH Projects, Jakarta, Indonesia (2016); and notable group presentations Dhaka Art Summit: বন্যা/Bonna, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, Dhaka, Bangladesh (2023); On Muzharul Islam: Surfacing Intention at Dhaka Art Summit: Seismic Movements, Dhaka, Bangladesh (2020); The 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, QAGOMA, Brisbane, Australia (2018); DIASPORA: Exit, Exile, Exodus of Southeast Asia, MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum, Chiang Mai, Thailand (2018); The 15th Asia Art Festival: Multiple Spectacle Art from Asia, Ningbo Art Museum, Ningbo, China (2017); Imaginary Synonym, Tokyo Wonder Site, Japan (2016); Aku Diponegoro, National Gallery of Indonesia, Indonesia (2015); Shout!
