Hutan Kota by Plataran, Jakarta: 5–10 May 2026

Just a week to go—Art Jakarta Gardens 2026 returns with a refreshed open-air experience where art meets technology. Get your tickets now and step into two special presentations that shape this year’s narrative.

Let’s take a closer look!

Bibit × Mulyana Presents “Tentacles of Wealth”
Knitted textile installation of an octopus set within a coral-like environment

Centering on Mulyana’s iconic character Mogus (Sigarantang Octopus Monster), the installation unfolds as a vibrant, immersive composition of colorful threads. Known for his collaborative knitting practice, Mulyana constructs Mogus as a connective figure—linking multiple “hands” within an ever-evolving artistic system. Through its tactile presence, “Tentacles of Wealth” invites visitors to reflect on their investment journeys, mirroring the octopus’ adaptability and layered complexity in navigating uncertainty today.

Presented by Magran Living

iForte Energi × Sigit D. Pratama Presents “Solagua” (Sun and Water)
Solar-powered installation with a bamboo structure and a rhythmic water-mist system

Designed as a self-sustaining ecosystem, “Solagua” integrates solar energy to activate a rhythmic misting sequence that gently cleanses its panels. Drawing inspiration from the astronomical precision of the Temple of Kukulcan, the work translates ancient cosmological systems into a contemporary sensory experience. Set within a monumental bamboo framework, the installation reflects iForte Energi’s vision as “Architects of Cahaya”—positioning energy as a cyclical, regenerative force that bridges technology, nature, and spiritual rhythm.

Together, these two special presentations expand Art Jakarta Gardens 2026 beyond visual appreciation—inviting reflection, participation, and a deeper awareness of the systems shaping contemporary life.
