Jakarta - A modern Wayang (shadow puppet) performance and an intriguing culinary installation will kick off Art Summit Indonesia (ASI)2007 on Thursday evening.
"The Wayang troupe from Bali and the La Cellule troupe from France will give us the honor of performing on the first night of the ASI 2007," summit spokesman Yusuf Susilo Hartono said Wednesday.
The opening ceremony will take place at the Graha Bakti Budaya hall, Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM).
YDeguste, the La Cellule‘s installation, will entertain the ceremony‘s guests upon their arrival. Curated by Laurence Dreyfus, Deguste is an esthetic fusion between gastronomy and art.
