Surabaya Emerging Artist

This book initiative launched in 2025 by Danny Hartanto Kristiawan, Dwiki Nugroho Mukti, and Dimas Tri Pamungkas.

The work focuses on contemporary art practices in Surabaya; the phrase “contemporary art” refers to a broad definition, namely art practices that function in the current actuality space, with an emphasis on appearance and concept, with a discussion featuring emerging artists: artists whose careers have lasted less than ten years.

This book aims to support young artists, increase their visibility in the contemporary art ecosystem and its market, as a form of legitimacy in their artistic achievements and consistency towards professional artists and promote young artists in Surabaya.
