This year marked the realisation of a long-held dream. From opening our doors in April to exhibitions, collaborations, and our first art fair, 2025 was shaped by shared labour, trust, and belief - often unfolding amid uncertainty.As the year draws to a close, we’re grateful to everyone who helped turn this dream into something lived and shared.The gallery is closed from 24 December until late January 2026 as we prepare for our upcoming exhibition. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a gentle close to the year. We look forward for exciting 2026 programs!With gratitude,ara contemporary team by @fredy.chndra

ara contemporary is delighted to present an inaugural exhibition ‘We Begin with Everything’.Featuring 17 Southeast Asian artists, this group exhibition marks the beginning of the gallery. The exhibition title draws inspiration from a chapter in Rick Rubin’s book The Creative Act: A Way of Being. It reflects a central tenet of Rubin’s philosophy: that the act of creating is an endless, ever-present source. The word ‘begin’ celebrates processes as a concept turned into tangible manifestation, from exploration, discovery, and finally, transformation. This resonates with the inception of the gallery but also the artists’ process of making. These processes of becoming echo the philosophical tenets of process theory, which suggests that reality is defined by constant flux, change, and growth. Just as the universe is in constant motion, so too are the artists’ works, ever-changing and developing over time.Exhibition artists:Agan Harahap Albert Yonathan Setyawan Alisa ChunchueCarmen Ceniga Prado Condro Priyoaji Dawn Ng Enggar Rhomadioni Irfan Hendrian Ipeh Nur Iwan EffendiKelly Jin Mei Mar Kristoff Marcos Kueh Natalie Sasi Organ S.
