Art Jakarta Gardens 2025 brought contemporary art into Hutan Kota by Plataran in central Jakarta from 22 to 27 April 2025. The fourth edition combined an outdoor sculpture garden with gallery presentations in two temporary pavilions, allowing visitors to move between artworks, trees, and the city skyline. The opening on 22 April was reserved for invited guests; public visiting ran from 23 to 27 April.
The setting shaped the experience: sculpture could be approached from several directions, while changing daylight and foliage became part of the encounter. Inside two purpose-built pavilions, galleries presented paintings, works on paper and other contemporary practices alongside the outdoor programme.
Among the edition’s recognisable outdoor projects were Abenk Alter’s Flower for the Future and Arkiv Vilmansa’s Golden Age. ISA Art Gallery’s presentation, The Apartments, offered a different scale of attention: the idea of a dwelling became a way to consider private routines, memory and the relationship between an interior and the world outside. Its programme included Arahmaiani, Sinta Tantra, Tara Kasenda, Yuki Nakayama and other artists.
For the continuation of this garden-based format, explore Art Jakarta Gardens 2026, which returned to the same venue the following May.

The 2025 edition offered a unique way to experience contemporary art: outdoor sculpture in a central Jakarta park, followed by focused gallery presentations indoors. The changing light and open pathways made the venue part of the experience, while projects such as ISA Art Gallery’s The Apartments raised questions of home, memory, and everyday life.

Gardens developed as Art Jakarta’s dedicated garden-format event, giving sculpture an outdoor setting alongside gallery booths. The 2025 edition was its fourth, distinct from the main Art Jakarta fair. Its combination of park routes and indoor pavilions encouraged a less linear visit, with room to return to an artwork as the light changed.
