ruangrupa, an artists’ initiative founded in early 2000 by a group of Jakarta based artists, a non-profit organization which focuses on supporting the development of art in the cultural context through research, study and documentation, along with intensive cooperation with the artists through exhibitions, artist residency programme, art project and workshop.

We are open for any (visual) artist (group and individuals, Indonesian and foreign) who are willing to work in cooperation with us and areenthusiastic about sharing different opinions; exploring and experimenting the artist's interaction with Jakarta urban life.

We work together a lot with many other artists, in a horizontal structure to support and mediating fresh ideas who address visual art as a cultural practice which is interesting for debatein visual art and the relation with social - cultural discourse, especially pertaining to Indonesian contemporary culture.
