Art Jakarta is a contemporary art fair, held annually at Jakarta International Expo in Kemayoran, Jakarta, Indonesia.[2] The fair has been organised by PT Artindo Jakarta Seni Kini since 2019, and was previously known as Bazaar Art Jakarta.[3] Artists, galleries, collectors, and art critics from all over the world participate in this fair. The fair is already established as one of Southeast Asia’s most significant art fairs.[4]

Chronology

Since its inception in 2009 up to 2016 the fair was known as Bazaar Art Jakarta (BAJ), held at The-Ritz Carlton Pacific Place, Jakarta. In its last edition as BAJ, 23 overseas and 19 local art galleries took part. More than 1,500 art pieces were displayed in the fair.[5]

In 2017, Bazaar Art Jakarta changed its name to Art Jakarta and was held from 28 to 30 August.[6] Among the galleries attending were Jakarta’s Vivi Yip Artroom and Ruci Art Space, Bandung’s Lawangwangi Creative Space, Zola Zulu and Singapore’s Art Xchange Gallery, Art Front Gallery Element Art Space, Pearl Lam Galleries and Yavuz Gallery.[7]

The 10th edition of Art Jakarta was held in 2018, from 2 to 5 August, presenting 51 art galleries. As many as 20 galleries came from Indonesia and the rest were from overseas. Among the galleries were ROH Projects, Gajah Gallery, RUCI Gallery, Mizuma Gallery, Lawangwangi Creative Space, YEO Workshop, Image Warehouse, Museum MACAN, Ciputra Museum and many others.
