| Highlights from the first Jakarta ceramic biennale |
|
|
|
In 1976, the late Indonesian ceramist Hildawati Soemantri broke through all conventions by holding an installation, the first ever in Jakarta, consisting of broken ceramic parts to reveal life’s fragile state.
But while she proved ceramics to be a worthy medium for personal expression, it has remained in the backseat of contemporary art.
