Located at the heart of the Mangkunegaran palace, Surakusuma brought back the historical significance of palace gardens which presented a curation of contemporary sculptures as a means to interpret the spatial history of cultural spaces. Tracing the continuity and changes in visual art practices that intersect with historical sites, the show took the role of understanding contemporary sculpture in public dialogue.

The presentation exhibited 13 sculptures from 11 prominent Indonesian and International artists whose works can be traced back to other prestigious international institutions, exploring themes of materiality, historical inspiration, reflections on time and reality, appreciation of nature, and forms of imagination.
