ART. AND ART.
Had an interesting Sunday checking two completely different sides of the Jakarta art scene... Started at an auction of contemporary Indonesian art at the Hyatt. Although mostly still too traditional for our tastes, there were still a lot of strong and original pieces, and the auction room was busy with buyers picking up around ninety percent of the lots. Although paintings could be bought for as little as US$400, prices for some lots went pretty high - the friend we went with's most expensive spend? A cool US$55,000.
The flip side was the evening exhibition event held on the roof of our building by our friends at NOTORIOUS. Lots of works on display by the cream of Jakarta's young designers and artists, including a number by 707 crew members... The venue was packed, with crowds hanging out to watch Darbotz and Kims do live installations while Mayo hit the decks. Many congrats to the boys on a great first event, we're honoured to have been involved. Looking forward to the next one...
