A tireless promoter of Balinese art, Gunarsa received his formal training at the Academy of Indonesian Fine Arts (ASRI) in Yogyakarta where he also later taught. His paintings form part of important private and museum collections around the globe and are also prominently featured at Museum Seni Lukis Kontemporer in Klungkung that Gunarsa founded in 1989

Edwin's Gallery stands upon a 2000 m2 piece of land in the hip Kemang area of Jakarta. The gallery was established in 1984. The primary aim of the gallery is to provide a meeting ground for artists and art lovers, and to give an up-to-the minute picture of what is happening within the discourse of contemporary art in Indonesia and the world.

I'd like to plan a sculpture exhibition in jakarta but still don't know where.

Sorry I had to remove your post for editing, but it will reappear as soon as the contact details are edited out.

There are spaces in Jakarta that have been known to host less formal exhibitions one being near Old town.
Problem there is 3 flights of stairs and no lift.
