Zulfian Amrullah
Wednesday, 13 May 2026
09.00 – 11.30 WIB Gedung Jurusan Tata Kelola Seni, Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta
For this public program, Cemeti–Institute for Art and Society is collaborating with the Department of Art Management at ISI Yogyakarta to host “Kelola Art Talk #40” featuring artist-in-residence Zulfian Amrullah.
On this occasion, Zulfian will share his experiences and practice as an artist whose background in formal architectural education evolved into the realms of visual art and artistic staging.
Zulfian’s artistic practice—which intertwines artwork presentation, layout and spatial design with event management, production work, and interdisciplinary collaboration—will serve as the starting point for a discussion on how visual art exhibition spaces are articulated, constructed, and presented to the public.
*This event is part of the regular residency program of Cemeti–Institute for Art and Society, in collaboration with the Department of Art Management, Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Yogyakarta.
