TITILARAN: An Ode to Indonesia’s Art Legacy at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta

Entering its 63rd anniversary, Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta reaffirms its standing as a beacon of Indonesia’s artistic and cultural heritage with the launch of the TITILARAN art exhibition. Envisioned as more than a mere building but a national journal of progress and unity under the direction of the country’s first President, Ir. Soekarno, the urban hotel embodies Indonesia’s development through a rich tapestry of art and architecture. Marking this milestone, the hotel brings together cross-generational artworks in one space where tradition meets modernity.

The TITILARAN art exhibition is curated by the esteemed art figure Rizki A. Zaelani, whose insightful and masterful approach animates the hotel’s lobby through a thoughtful selection of artworks in varied forms. Zaelani brings the core theme of TITILARAN to life by placing works from revered art masters alongside those of emerging talents, creating a dialogue that spans generations and honours a continuum of creative legacy. With a nationally and internationally recognised portfolio, the hotel entrusts him as the guiding figure in this immersive artistic journey.

As guests enter the lobby, the space comes alive with striking installations, highlighting collaborative works between celebrated art gurus and rising stars. Among them is Sunarkiv, a three-metre piece conceived by Sunaryo and Arkiv Vilmansa, offering a new dimension of the iconic Mickiv figure, infused with Sunaryo’s pilgrimage experience at the Ka’bah. Familial ties take centre stage in the works of Haryadi Suadi and Radi Arwinda, as well as Tisna Sanjaya and Etza Meisyara, while Andre Tanama and Landha Bellamora pay homage to womanhood through their creation.

Fashion and art intersect in a collaboration by Jeihan and Mel Ahyar, while Widayat and Eko Rahmy embrace realism to reflect on artistic legacy. Made Wianta and Irfan Hendrian explore the creative possibilities of paper through modernism, while Rita Widagdo and Gabriel Aries experiment with sculptural forms. Another unmissable project is the colour experience from Teja Astawa and REEXP.

This presentation reaffirms Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta’s role in the evolving movement of unbounded art: a bold reimagining of traditional boundaries through the lens of two generations. Guests and visitors are invited to explore the richness of contemporary expression through a wide-ranging showcase of materials, concepts, and perspectives.

The TITILARAN art exhibition at Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta is available for public display from 23 July to 18 August 2025. During this celebratory period, the hotel invites guests to stay with exclusive offers which include room stays, daily breakfast, hotel credit of IDR 500,000/two-night stay, and a special TITILARAN welcome gift.
