Srisasanti Syndicate is a gallery group consisting of Srisasanti Gallery, kohesi Initiatives, and STEM Projects.
Founded in 1994, the management of this group focuses on presenting and supporting artists from various generations and backgrounds—providing a platform for artists through in-house and global programs, such as exhibitions, residencies, collaborations with arts organizations or institutions, and various interdisciplinary projects. Through its management and representation program, Srisasanti Syndicate works with its artists with a long-term perspective to help develop their careers while providing opportunities to enrich their knowledge and portfolio. To date, Srisasanti Syndicate has published dozens of art books and catalogs, which directly contribute to the effort of archiving the history and discourse of the Indonesian art scene. The group also regularly invites curators, art historians, and writers to collaborate on its exhibitions. With a commitment to education for the public, each exhibition is accompanied by artist talks, gallery tours, creative workshops, and events for various audiences. Srisasanti Syndicate is based in Yogyakarta, one of Indonesia's top destinations for art, culture, and education. The group currently has two spaces, Tirtodipuran Link Building A, a two-floor industrial building, and Tirtodipuran Link Building B, a repurposed hand-made toy workshop with a tropical-minimalist architecture. Located at Tirtodipuran Street, both spaces are neighboured by the city's most visited cultural and dining destinations.
Srisasanti Gallery is an art gallery founded by E. St. Eddy Prakoso with the main goal of initiating global appreciation for Indonesian artists. Srisasanti Gallery represents and supports its artists with a long-term perspective, dedicating its effort to developing their careers and providing a significant audience for their works, both regionally and globally. The gallery has been exhibiting established artists who have important roles in Indonesian art history, while also nurturing emerging artists to contribute to the growth of the Indonesian art scene. Apart from presenting intensive and dynamic in-house programs each year, Srisasanti Gallery also actively presents its artists at art fairs and other international programs.
kohesi Initiatives is an Indonesian-based contemporary art gallery. The gallery is committed to supporting and presenting the career of its artists and their works in a diverse range of media and genres, while also encouraging exploration of their practice in both conceptual and contextual interpretation with a balanced aesthetic consideration. As an artist-first gallery, kohesi strives to achieve its vision by consistently holding quality exhibitions and artist-focused projects, while actively seeking the opportunity and possibility of working together with institutions globally to enrich and benefit its artists.
STEM Projects was established with the main purpose of discovering and nurturing emerging and under-represented artists. With an artist-focused approach at our core, we intend to create a platform that enables artists to gain the necessary level of support in the early stage of their careers, while encouraging them to explore their practices and create new works. Through our programs and activities, STEM places an emphasis on the need for accessibility and engagement between art and people, where we provide the environment that urges the interaction between both; a place for artists to introduce their works to wider audiences.
