WHAT’S ON ISA ART GALLERY IN JUNE, 2026
UPCOMING
ISA Art Gallery at ArtMoments Jakarta 2026
4 – 7 June 2026
Agora Ballroom, Central Jakarta
ISA Art Gallery is pleased to present Liturgical Dwelling at ArtMoments Jakarta 2026, bringing together the practices of A. Sebastianus, Aiman, Allyson Jeong, Arahmaiani, Ardi Gunawan, Audya Amalia, Dabi Arnasa, Galih Adika, Hadassah Emmerich, Ida Lawrence, Ines Katamso, Jumaadi, Luh’De Gita, Sillyndris, Sinta Tantra, Vanessa Jones, Yosefa Aulia, Yuki Nakayama, and Zikry Rediansyah.
Borrowing from the notion of liturgy as a structure shaped through repetition, rhythm, and ritual, Liturgical Dwelling expands the term beyond religion into the gestures and routines of everyday life. Across the presentation, acts of care, stillness, and return accumulate into forms of spatial and emotional memory. Through painting, textile, sculpture, installation, and material experimentation, the participating artists explore how memory remains embedded within surfaces, objects, and bodily gestures. Fabrics fold, structures erode, pigments settle, and forms repeat, carrying traces of lived experience and duration. At its core, Liturgical Dwelling considers space as something continuously shaped through experience and relation, where identities, histories, and emotions remain entangled within the environments we inhabit, and where the sacred quietly persists through the rhythms of daily life.

Tumurun Museum, Solo
This June, Jumaadi will present a solo exhibition at Tumurun Private Museum, one of Indonesia’s leading private museums dedicated to modern and contemporary art. Known for his poetic visual language and deeply narrative practice, Jumaadi’s works move fluidly between painting, drawing, textile, installation, and performance. His practice intertwines personal memory, folklore, spirituality, migration, and human vulnerability, creating intimate spaces where storytelling unfolds through gesture, symbolism, and material.
The exhibition will also feature live wayang performances by the artist, extending his narrative practice into performative space through shadow, movement, sound, and oral storytelling traditions. These performances further reflect Jumaadi’s ongoing engagement with Indonesian cultural histories and the transformative potential of collective storytelling. Accompanying the exhibition are writing contributions from Hera Chan and Adi Wicaksono, alongside poems by Afrizal Malna, expanding the presentation through literary and critical reflections that resonate with the artist’s contemplative and lyrical practice.

Sedulur Watu
14 June – 14 July 2026
Omah Budoyo, Yogyakarta
Sedulur Watu brings together the practices of A. Sebastianus and Marten Bayuaji at Omah Budoyo through a shared reflection on stone as symbol, material, and spiritual presence. In Javanese, “sedulur” means relation or kinship, while “watu” means stone, together describing a bond that is enduring, grounded, and resilient.
Across cultures and histories, stones have long symbolised permanence, strength, protection, and memory. They withstand erosion and time, becoming markers of endurance and vessels through which histories and spiritual beliefs are carried forward. Within Javanese culture and Kejawen spiritual traditions, stones are understood not merely as physical objects but as entities imbued with energy, ancestral presence, and philosophical meaning. They become mediums for grounding, meditation, protection, and balance between the human and spiritual worlds.
Through installation, material experimentation, and symbolic gestures, Sedulur Watu reflects on the relationship between body, earth, and memory. The exhibition considers stone as both witness and companion, something that absorbs traces of life while remaining steadfast through change.

Ireland’s Eye 2026: The Imprint of the Irish Landscape
17 June – 15 July 2026
RuangDalam Art House, Yogyakarta
Following its presentation at WTC 2 Jakarta, Ireland’s Eye 2026 is now reiterated at RuangDalam Art House. Curated by renowned artist and curator Mark Joyce and presented in collaboration with ISA Art and Design, Jakarta Land, and the Embassy of Ireland in Indonesia, the exhibition marks the fifth edition of the ongoing platform bringing together Irish contemporary art in dialogue with Indonesia.
The exhibition features six Irish artists whose practices engage deeply with landscape, memory, and cultural identity across generations, from Tony O’Malley to Charlie Dineen. Rooted in a shared sensitivity to the “spirit of place,” the works reflect on how Ireland’s terrain, histories, and atmospheres continue to shape artistic expression today.
Spanning painting, printmaking, and film, the exhibition traces different approaches to landscape and memory. O’Malley’s lyrical abstractions evoke the essence of place through gesture and texture, while Cora Cummins explores grief and transformation through large scale etchings grounded in pastoral landscapes. Dineen’s film revisits mythic histories within the Paps of Anú through ritual and memory, while Cliona Doyle observes the quiet resilience of native flora through botanical printmaking. Gwen O’Dowd translates elemental forces of sea and land into expressive abstraction, and Robert Russell captures the atmospheric depth of Ireland’s urban environments through contemplative printmaking.
All works are produced at Graphic Studio Dublin, which celebrates its 65th anniversary this year as Ireland’s leading fine art printmaking studio. Together, the exhibition considers how histories, environments, and lived experiences remain imprinted within both landscape and memory, where past and present continue to converge across place and time.

ON GOING
Present Presence
2 May – 2 July 2026
ISA Art Gallery at Wisma 46, Central Jakarta
Now entering its second month, ISA Art Gallery’s Present Presence brings together the practices of A. Sebastianus, Chiara Hardy, and Chintia Kirana in a shared exploration of how presence is continuously shaped through material, perception, and time. Across the exhibition, forms remain in flux, unfolding through processes of translation, fragmentation, reflection, and return. Rather than presenting fixed conclusions, the exhibition creates conditions where meaning remains open, shifting, and unresolved.
Sebastianus works through archival fragmentation and reweaving, transforming images, memory, and inherited material into layered textile compositions. Hardy constructs perceptual environments through light, form, and transmission, where objects respond dynamically to movement and attention. Kirana inscribes time directly into material through ash, carbon, and reflective surfaces, producing works where memory accumulates as residue, rupture, and repetition. Though distinct in approach, each artist treats material as an active force within the production of meaning.
Installed together, the exhibition unfolds as a space of unstable perception. Viewers encounter partial reflections, interruptions, and shifting perspectives, where each work changes according to position, duration, and encounter. Rather than offering resolution, Present Presence sustains attention within ongoing processes of becoming, where presence is never fixed, but continually emerging through transformation.

Where We Remain
13 April – 13 July 2026
World Trade Centre 3, Jakarta
Now entering its third month since opening in April, Where We Remain is a contemporary art exhibition presented in collaboration with Jakarta Land, bringing together the practices of A. Sebastianus, Dabi Arnasa, Dewi Fortuna Maharani, Rose Cameron, Tara Kasenda, Yuki Nakayama, and Zikry Rediansyah.
The exhibition reflects on the reciprocal relationship between people and place, tracing how environments continue to shape memory, perception, and emotional experience long after moments have passed. Drawing from Yi-Fu Tuan’s understanding that space becomes place through lived experience, the exhibition considers how light, atmosphere, structure, and sensation persist not as fixed narratives, but as fragments that remain embedded within us.
Across the exhibition, landscape, architecture, and everyday environments emerge as sites of accumulation, transformation, and return. The works explore how spaces are continuously shaped through presence and absence, intimacy and distance, memory and imagination. Rather than existing as static locations, places become evolving conditions that continue to influence how we understand ourselves and the world around us. Through painting, installation, material experimentation, and spatial intervention, Where We Remain unfolds as an ongoing reflection on how environments are inhabited, remembered, and carried forward across time.

ISA ARTIST ON THE MOVE
A. SEBASTIANUS
ARS LONGA: GENERATIO
19 June – 30 August 2026
Jogja National Museum, Yogyakarta
ISA Art Gallery is pleased to announce that A. Sebastianus will participate in ARTJOG 2026, selected by curator Farah Wardani as part of Ars Longa: Generatio, the opening chapter of the Ars Longa Trilogia unfolding across ARTJOG 2026–2028.
Borrowing from the ancient phrase Ars Longa, Vita Brevis or “art is long, life is short,” the curatorial framework reflects on the enduring role of art amid rapidly shifting social, political, ecological, and technological conditions. Positioned within conversations surrounding Society 5.0, the Anthropocene, and the future of collective imagination, Ars Longa considers how art continues to shape humanity’s understanding of itself in moments of uncertainty and transformation. The first chapter, Generatio, focuses on intergenerational dialogue and the evolving role of artists within contemporary society. Moving beyond rigid generational categories and market driven narratives, the exhibition explores how artistic practices can become sites of exchange, collaboration, critique, and social imagination. The theme also reflects on how artists today operate not only as makers, but as educators, initiators, archivists, and builders of alternative cultural structures.
Within this context, Sebastianus’s practice resonates through its engagement with materiality, memory, and systems of belonging. Moving between installation and ethnography, his works examine how personal and collective histories are carried through objects, bodies, and acts of making. His participation in ARTJOG 2026 marks an important moment within the broader trajectory of the Ars Longa Trilogia, which will continue through the themes Legatum and Mundus in the years ahead.

DABI ARNASA
Dabi Arnasa will participate in a series of upcoming presentations across Indonesia throughout June 2026. Arnasa will present two new works at ArtMoments Jakarta 2026, alongside participation in ARTCARE Indonesia as part of ARTJOG 2026. Initiated by Komunitas Soboman 219 in response to the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake, ARTCARE Indonesia has since developed into an ongoing social movement that mobilises art as a form of collective care and solidarity. Working together with ARTJOG since 2020, the initiative supports artists and cultural communities across Indonesia through fundraising and collaborative participation.
The artist will also participate in YAA #11 (Yogya Annual Art) at Bale Banjar Sangkring under the curatorial theme Direction. Exploring direction as both physical orientation and metaphorical trajectory, the exhibition reflects on movement, disorientation, shifting perspectives, and the non linear paths through which artworks and histories unfold. Through this framework, the exhibition considers how contemporary artistic practices can open multiple readings and experiences rather than fixed interpretations.
Completing this series of presentations, Arnasa will also be featured in Salon et Cetera 2026, a group exhibition held at Ace House Collective and Langgeng Art Foundation from 12 June to 24 July 2026. Presented through a salon style display, the exhibition brings together Indonesian and international artists within a shared visual field that resists hierarchy and foregrounds dialogue, coexistence, and exchange.
Spanning art fairs, artist led initiatives, and collaborative platforms, these presentations mark an exciting moment in Arnasa’s growing presence within Indonesia’s contemporary art landscape.
SINTA TANTRA
The Sun and the Moon: Art Inspired by the Celestial
5 June – 8 September 2026
Saatchi Gallery, London
Sinta Tantra has been selected to participate in The Sun and The Moon: Art Inspired by the Celestial at Saatchi Gallery, where she will present her new work Celestial Bloom (2026).
Spanning two floors and nine major exhibition spaces, the exhibition brings together more than 150 artists exploring the enduring influence of the Sun and Moon across mythology, spirituality, science, ritual, and contemporary culture. Moving through a 24 hour cycle from dawn to midnight, the exhibition presents paintings, installations, archival material, and immersive environments that reflect on humanity’s fascination with celestial bodies throughout history. Within this expansive presentation, Tantra’s practice resonates through her vibrant engagement with colour, geometry, space, and perception.
The exhibition also features major installations by artists including Luke Jerram and teamLab, alongside works by internationally recognised contemporary and historical artists from across generations and disciplines. The Sun and The Moon: Art Inspired by the Celestial offers a reflection on how celestial imagery continues to shape imagination, belief, and artistic expression across cultures and time.

INES KATAMSO
M(a)us(ol)eum of Precious Pasts and Disposable Futures
20 June – 23 August 2026
Kohesi Initiatives, Yogyakarta
Aligning with Jogja Art Week (JAW), Ines Katamso will be participating in M(a)us(ol)eum of Precious Pasts and Disposable Futures, presented at Kohesi Initiatives from 20 June – 23 August 2026.
Bringing together a group of contemporary artists, the exhibition reflects on preservation, memory, categorization, and the increasingly fragile relationship between past and future. Moving through ideas of myth making, speculation, and institutional power, the exhibition questions how histories are constructed, remembered, and archived within a present moment marked by uncertainty and cultural acceleration. Within this context, Katamso’s practice resonates through her exploration of interconnected systems, material memory, and forms of relation that exist beneath visibility. Drawing from root structures, organic networks, and symbolic forms, her works consider how bodies, histories, and environments remain entangled across time and space.
Positioned between museum and mausoleum, archive and living body, M(a)us(ol)eum of Precious Pasts and Disposable Futures invites viewers to reconsider what societies choose to preserve and what risks being forgotten, while reflecting on how the act of exhibiting itself shapes collective memory.

ARTIST HIGHLIGHT
Zikry Rediansyah, also known as Uye, was born in Bandung in 1992, where he continues to live and work. A graduate of Visual Art Education from UPI, he has focused on painting and performance art since 2011, while also developing a parallel practice as a tattoo artist. His visual language is shaped by naïve and childlike forms that move fluidly between painting, drawing, and tattoo flash imagery, often reflecting on personal experience and the textures of everyday life.
At ArtMoments Jakarta 2026, Zikry Rediansyah will present three new works exploring the relationship between human presence and the surrounding environment through shifting scales, distance, and spatial illusion. Small human figures appear almost imperceptible within expansive landscapes, destabilising the assumption of humanity as the centre of the image. Through carefully constructed compositions that oscillate between familiarity and estrangement, the landscapes emerge as spaces that are simultaneously inviting and emotionally inaccessible. The works encourage viewers to move closer and continuously recalibrate their perspective, turning the act of looking itself into an essential part of the experience.
