Ebb and flow: Contemporary Indonesian Sculpture from the Konfir Kabo collection
Indonesian art has had a tumultuous history, ebbing and flowing due to various internal and external forces and government and secular inhibiting interests. Today it represents one of the world’s most contemporary, exciting and dynamic art scenes characterised by a commitment to artists and to exploring societal themes.
Featuring more than 40 contemporary sculptures – the largest exhibition of its kind in Australia – 22 Indonesian artists represent the new wave in this contemporary artform through highly sophisticated work engaged with deep ideas.
Drawn from the collection of Indonesian Australian collector Konfir Kabo, this exhibition adds to the too recent history of understanding the diversity and abundance of talent our Indonesian neighbours bring to the cultural table.
Through care, consideration, connection and compassion, Kabo elicits a long-term strategy in his approach to art, which is to bring people together and showcase a broader and more inclusive account to what audiences believe Indonesian art to be.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.
These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.
We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.
As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
