Since the 2000s there have been new developments in line with the dominance of the art market due to itsintegration with the global art world which is more intensive than ever before.This development has resulted in an increasing number of galleries and an increase in the frequency of holding exhibitions and has led to a central role known as curator, on the other hand shows a development where exhibitions are also carried out by the artists themselves, artists not only make works but also run their exhibitions or known as artist-curator. So that the curatorial practice of artist-curator is interesting to study about its emergence, curatorial practice, and its implications for the existence of curatorial discourse and the contemporary Indonesian art world. The focus is on examining the exhibitions run by Asmudjo Jono Irianto and the exhibitions organized by ruangrupa. To examine, this study uses an approach of art history, art sociology, and curatorial studies.Artist-curator always builds ideas and implements them through collaborative strategies, brainstorming, structured and professional thinking, especially in their capacity as a facilitator (curator). Meanwhile, when self-curating tends to be more free and expressive, and shows a harmonious integration between ideas and execution, because as artists they tend to be more autonomous. The collective activity of curatorial practice of artist-curator shows a different thing where the patterns of interaction between artists, curators, and appreciators are biased and do not run linearly, or even overlap. Because the artistic and curatorial practices are indeed carried out by the same people, they produce and distribute them themselves.Based on the results of the analysis of curatorial practices, the artist-curator has reflected the values of novelty which can be read as an expansion of the various patterns of exhibition implementation, showing a shift in exhibition implementation so that it can deconstruct or renew understanding of curatorial practices, especially in developments in the Indonesian contemporary art world.
