ArtMoments Jakarta 2023: A Focused, Sublime, Boutique-Style Return

The annual ArtMoments Jakarta returned to the capital from 18-20 August 2023 at the Grand Ballroom of Sheraton Grand Jakarta Gandaria City Hotel. 30 art galleries participated in the sixth edition of the Fair, with high quality artworks in a more intimate setting.

ArtMoments Jakarta was established in 2018 and rapidly rose to prominence as one of Indonesia's big art fairs. Striving to cater to external markets and galleries' aspirations, ArtMoments Jakarta has chosen distinguished and exclusive venues for its presentations. Despite this upscale approach, the fair remained dedicated to upholding an inclusive and accessible platform, aiming to promote art as an integral part of everyday life. 

With the continued support of Pakuwon Group as the venue partner, organizers like Sendy Widjaja, Co-Founder & Fair Director of ArtMoments Jakarta, were delighted to present ArtMoments Jakarta 2023 at this hotel. As ArtMoments Jakarta 2023 was dedicated to showcasing diverse works from national and international galleries and artists, it was hoped that the art fair would serve as an inspiration to artists and also offer a wider selection for Indonesian art collectors, along with this year’s event being more curated and emphasizing quality over quantity to achieve its aim for a boutique concept. 

Under the artistic direction of Rizki Zaelani, ArtMoments Jakarta 2023 featured the theme EMBRACE MOMENTS: Continually Art, that aimed to emphasize the optimism of Indonesian art's ongoing advancement in diverse and strong forms of expression. This theme was an invitation to embrace and celebrate this progress by recognising and appreciating the initiatives and programs of art institutions (especially galleries and art fairs) in Indonesia, who endeavour to make Indonesian art competitive and influential within the global market. 

In this edition, ArtMoments Jakarta featured a number of public presentations, within the Fair Grounds, as well as in public spaces throughout the hotel and connecting shopping area. Tokyo-based Whitestone Gallery presented ‘Walk Cycle’, a large-scale digital installation by award-winning visual artist and animation director Kongkee. Another public presentation was by Jakarta-based G3N Project x Museum of Toys, a 3.5 meter sculpture by Arkiv Vilmansa. 

A partner of ArtMoments Jakarta since 2019 has been Sheraton Grand Jakarta Gandaria City Hotel, as can be attested by Munwar Basha, its General Manager. As the Sheraton brand prides itself as the world’s gathering place, it is only naturally befitting that its hotel is where the premier art fair in Jakarta is hosted now and for many more years of support to come. Furthermore, Sheraton Grand Jakarta’s international quality art pieces enhance the spirit of ArtMoments Jakarta.
