I enjoyed the visit to Ark Gallery very much, like all the artists' studios we visited this trip, the architecture of the gallery was unique with the gallery situated in the 'basement' of the building and in the midst of the residential area. Who would have guessed that the residential areas hid away so many gems? All these galleries are independent and set up by people who just wished to support their local community of artists. I loved feeling this lively 'rebellious' spirit in the art scene here, it seems to arise quite organically despite Jogjakarta not being as developed a city as Singapore! And of course the passion when the curator explained the exhibition... She is one of the two established lady curators in Indonesia!
