After the Indonesian government hosted the 43rd ASEAN summit at Art Jakarta's proposed venue in September, the annual arts event was forced to reschedule its dates and change locations. Nevertheless, the awaited fair finally kicked off from November 17–19 at the 10,000-square-meter JIEXPO in the capital’s Kemayoran district. Art Jakarta invited galleries, artists, and curators from across Southeast Asia, ensuring that this year's event could compete with Singapore’s Art SG and reposition Indonesia as a significant regional arts hub. Under the artistic direction of prominent independent curator Enin Supriyanto, Art Jakarta 2023 honed in on progressive and experimental works, showcasing not only the current status of contemporary Indonesian art, but also works from further afield.
