'The exhibition “1001 Doors: Reinterpreting Tradition” aims to evoke the variety and diversity of Indonesian cultural heritage where the observers can step in the doors to watch and witness those heritage. They can peep through the key holes to have a glimpse of a future prophecy…, an indication of change. The Doors will become allegorical symbols of past and future, of ritual innovation, of behind and beyond and of tradition and contemporary.
Artists, craftsmen, designers, architects will be requested to respond to either some actual or allegorical doors based on their own imaginations. Showcased in this unique exhibition, the works are bound to present fascinating pieces of contemporary art, craft and design reflecting this generation’s vision on a chunk of cultural heritage & tradition.
The theme of the exhibition was conceived during long discusision with Taufik Rahzen. We express our gratitude for his contribution. We also thank all the artists and designers who have engaged in this exciting exhibition.'
