NFT art will make waves at this year’s Art Moments Jakarta (AMJ) in an exhibition built on Tezos. “NFTs: Inner Worlds, Immortalized” will showcase the works of six leading artists from across the region, three of whom are prominent creators in Indonesia.
Each artist is distinguished by their own unique styles and disciplines, effectively showcasing the diversity, strength, and potential of NFTs as an art medium. Tezos also returns to AMJ as Official Blockchain Partner, while TZ APAC will be contributing to the art fair as an Official Community Partner.
Tickets are open to the public (150,000 IDR for a Day Pass / 300,000 IDR for 3 Day Pass). They can be purchased on the BCA Mobile App, or artmomentsjakarta.com, and in-person.
With a dedicated 72m2 exhibition space located at the center of the Gandaria City Hall (GC Hall), “NFTs: Inner Worlds, Immortalized” will see numerous projected works by NFT artists in the Tezos ecosystem hailing from Indonesia such as DIELA (Diela Maharanie), Arya Mularama and Tommy Chandra. The exhibition will also see regional representation, with creators Sarisa Kojima, loopymoon (Marion Olmillo) and Hamlatul Arsy (a.k.a The Curious Unicorn) from Thailand, Philippines and Brunei respectively joining the local trio.
Arya Mularama
Arya Mularama's art mixes pop culture references with the melodramatic aspects of mental illness. Balancing dark themes with levity using a colorful touch, his works stem from his anxiety, and him questioning his/our existence and the universe.
DIELA (Diela Maharanie)
DIELA (Diela Maharanie) is an illustrator and visual artist based in Indonesia, whose works are mostly bright and colorful, filled with vibrant patterns of super saturated hues but also hint at a mystery for the character. DIELA’s colors and patterns come across in dreamy illustrations and ethereal imagery.
Sarisa Kojima
Sarisa Kojima is a Thai-Japanese artist based in Thailand. She has been working in the creative industry for over 15 years. Her artworks show passion for Asian culture, myths, folklore, and philosophy communicated through manga and Japanese woodblock art styles.
loopymoon (Marion Olmillo)
loopymoon is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and collector who loves to create and design trippy surreal visual experiments and journeys. He experiments with new frontiers in NFTs, GAN art, etc. loopymoon’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, from Web3 platforms / virtual galleries to hybrid physical x digital shows.
Tommy Chandra
Tommy Chandra is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Indonesia. Influenced by his architectural background, Tommyʼs works are characterized by sleek, geometrical, surreal shapes and details.
Hamlatul Arsy (a.k.a The Curious Unicorn)
A story, visual development artist, and mover of pixels traveling in a vehicle with a deep passion for meaningful spaces, imagination, and stories.
For the artists, participating in AMJ 2022 represents another milestone in their illustrious careers so far. “It’s another achievement in my journey as an artist to be featured in Art Moments Jakarta. I hope more people appreciate digital art as much as other types of art, and experience the fun of collecting NFTs,” said DIELA. For Tommy Chandra, NFTs share a fitting intersection with the theme of AMJ. “NFTs is the next technology that really defines the concept of “Continuity’. It continues the idea of combining technology and art. The smart contract and royalty setup of NFTs help artists solve traditional issues,” he shared.
In collaboration with akaSwap, an NFT platform based on Tezos, the six artists were commissioned to create three artworks each for this unique exhibition. Visitors will be gifted an edition of one of the artworks on display when they participate in a live-minting experience onsite facilitated by the TZ APAC team, who have carried out similar best-in-class activations across the region including the Tezos exhibition at Art Basel Hong Kong earlier this year. The NFT will be minted and stored in a Tezos blockchain wallet that can be created within a few easy clicks.
Commenting on the upcoming exhibition, TZ APAC Head of Marketing Jivan Tulsiani said: “Southeast Asian and Indonesian artists are actively embracing digital artworks in the form of NFTs, which have enabled them to reach new audiences, be fairly compensated for their artwork and be positive changemakers for their communities. We look forward to celebrating the spirit of innovation in today’s art space at Art Moments Jakarta. The Tezos exhibition welcomes everyone keen on enjoying the creations of some of the region’s top artists in the Tezos ecosystem, collecting a memorable NFT and understanding more about the medium.”
In addition to the physical exhibition, the NFT Art Prized Moments II NFT competition was also held in the build up to Art Moments Jakarta. Winners of the competition, all of whom have created NFTs on akaSwap, will have their artwork exhibited in various spaces outside the Tezos exhibition. Visitors can also look forward to insightful panel discussions such as “The Future of NFTs” which will host discussions between experts such as Tommy Chandra and TZ APAC’s Head of Growth David Tng. The panel will take place on 5 November 2022, from 7pm to 8.30pm Jakarta time.
