For the past 30 years, Dadang Christanto has produced controversial work rooted deeply in the human experience.

LEGACY will feature his latest body of work.

Christanto has exhibited widely at many international biennales and exhibitions including the Biennale of Venice (2003), JogJakarta Biennial and CP Open Biennial, Jakarta, Indonesia (2003), and the First and Third Asia-Pacific Triennials of Contemporary Art, Brisbane (1993, 1999).
