Freewheeling Art Jakarta unphased by political protests
Briefly

The placement of conceptual booths at Art Jakarta reflected a natural serendipity rather than a mural for free speech, showcasing unique artistic explorations beside a prison.
Justin Loke articulated the concept of A+ Works of Art's booth, explaining it was inspired by a Stephen Chow movie, where a wide prison bar invites a deeper psychological exploration of barriers.
Loke further emphasized how the bars created 'a beckoning threshold' and elicited intrigue, demonstrating how barriers are sometimes psychological and can seduce people into interaction.
While concept booths were not dominant at Art Jakarta, their presence highlighted the spontaneous and exploratory nature of Indonesia's current art scene.
