On
Friday, 20 June 2003, Charge d'Affaires Ad Interim of
the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra, Mr Imron Cotan, opened
an Indonesian Art Exhibition themed 'Crossing Boundaries,
Bali: A Window to Twentieth Century Art', in Orange, New
South Wales, which was organized by the Asia Society AustralAsia
Centre.
On this occasion, Mr Cotan emphasized inter
alia that the Exhibition of these Balinese fine
arts augured well with the intention of the Indonesian
government and its people to heal the wounds inflicted
by the Bali bombing last October. It was also hoped that
the Exhibition would further strengthen the cross-cultural
dialogue and the relationship between the Indonesian and
Australian people.
Around 150 visitors from the local community
attended the event, who enthusiastically enjoyed the Indonesian
paintings being exhibited and also the performance of
an Indonesian traditional dance.
The paintings will be exhibited in
Canberra in August 2003.
