From drawings, prints, and works on paper to sculptures and installations that push material boundaries, Art Jakarta Papers offers a nuanced exploration of how artists engage with paper today. Rather than treating it as preparatory or secondary, the fair foregrounds paper as a site of experimentation, intimacy, and conceptual rigor. This approach opens space for collectors and audiences to engage more closely with process, mark-making, and material sensitivity.
Held just months after Art Jakarta 2025, the fair builds on the momentum of the main event while carving out a distinct identity—one that encourages slower looking and deeper engagement. By bringing together galleries, artists, and collectors around a shared medium, Art Jakarta Papers aims to cultivate a sustainable and informed market for paper-based contemporary art in Indonesia.
In a region where artistic innovation continues to thrive across forms and disciplines, Art Jakarta Papers positions paper not as a limitation, but as a powerful vehicle for ideas—quiet, radical, and enduring.
