Biennale Jogja IX 2007 is entitled "Neo-Nation," and has as its theme, the search for "Indonesianness."  Besides issues of identity and nation,  the themes of capitalism and consumerism are evident in many works.  Jogja Biennale IX runs from 28 December 2007 to 28 January 2008 in three venues:  Jogja National Museum, Taman Budaya Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta Cultural Development Center) and Sangkring Art Space.  Over 150 participants.  The catalogue follows the format of one artist's biography on one page, and photos of the artist's work on the facing page.  Included is a map and calendar of events listing artist talks, workshops, performances and seminars.  Essays are by Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, the current monarch of the historic Yogyakart Sultanate, and by Carla Bianpoen.  Lifetime achievement award ceremony photos and bios of Edhi Sunarso and Prof. Soedarso Soepadmo are also included.
