jogja highlights: Sangkring Art Space

JOGJA HIGHLIGHTS: SANGKRING ART SPACE

Nano and Dani took us out for a day of visiting art spaces. One of the new spaces is Sangkring, a spacious gallery on the western outskirts of Jogja. Sangkring is owned by artist Putu Sutawijaya, who is building a much larger space across the road that will be used for artist residencies. During our visit we were happily surprised to run into Samuel Indratama and Putu. They gave us a tour of the residency in progress and shared their latest collaborative project -- a salon series that invites other artists to come and work together painting and making music.
