Breakthrough #1

The art-program ‘Breakthrough’ is a cooperation between Kersan Art Studio (Indonesia) and Perupa (Malaysia) and as such part of a series of collaborations initiated by Kersan Art Studio with other art-institutions, community, gallery in Asia and abroad.

The purpose of this program is to create cultural exchange, mutual education and cross-cultural dialogue between artists who share the same roots and who are inspired by the contemporary art movement in Malaysia and Indonesia.

‘Breakthrough’ involves 11 artists from Indonesia and 8 from Malaysia. This program is the creative outcome of meetings and interactions between Perupa Community (Malaysia) and Kersan Art Studio (Indonesia). The exhibition itself marks a starting point for an inspirational exchange between both cultures. The initial program will be held in Artiseri Gallery Kuala Lumpur from 27th. October until 10th November 2015, followed by an exhibition at Kersan Art Studio, Yogyakarta at the end of November 2015.

We would like to thank Artiseri Gallery, Kersan Art Studio, all artists and all those who have supported the implementation of this program.
