From 7 January until 28 February you can visit ‘The Jester Court’, an exhibition by 1998 Prince Claus Laureate Heri Dono in the Willem Kerseboom Gallery. Heri Dono is an artist, whose work includes drawings, paintings, installations and performances. It addresses social and political issues through absurdist imagery.
"Heri Dono currently resides in Yogyakarta, and is Indonesia's internationally best known artist. In his paintings, images and installations Dono gives critical and often humoristic commentary on the current political and social issues of his own country." (Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam, 'The Dono Code')
In 1998 Heri Dono was honoured with the Prince Claus Award for his inspiring artistic work that has its origins in the Indonesian situation, but considers phenomena, which are recognised worldwide. Dono’s work addresses a wide variety of issues, from famine in Africa to unemployment, drugs, ecological hypocrisy and political violence. ‘The Jester Court’ is Dono’s comment on power and justice in Indonesia.
