Indonesian Contemporary Art and Design held for the first time in 2009, for over a decade, the team behind Indonesian Contemporary Art and Design (ICAD), under Yayasan Design+Art Indonesia, has devoted their expertise by creating a platform meant to bridge art and design with other disciplines ranging from fashion, film, hospitality, technology, F&B and more. It is the first and only exhibition which initiates the collaboration between these various disciplines.
In a concentrated effort to achieve this, ICAD has established its name by offering curated exhibitions and programs highlighting cutting-edge creations and innovations of our times. Their annual events, taking place in Jakarta’s happening lifestyle neighborhood Kemang, have featured prominent artists, designers, and cross-discipline creators from across the globe.
ICAD has also partnered with prestigious international platforms such as Milan SuperDesign Show, La Biennale di Venezia, and London Design Biennale, in curating and showcasing Indonesian art and design to the world.
ICAD XI sheds light on the theme “PUBLIK” as an indispensable element to art, sparking attention and discussion on how the connection between a work of art and its public can be interrelated. Believing in the importance of the public as a viewer, user, consumer, and trend-setter, ICAD XI encourages participating artists and designers to respond to the current times through speculative ideas of what might be relevant to the public post-pandemic. As creators, what possible futures can we imagine? What changes can we foresee taking place in our everyday lives and how can art and design respond to it?
