Srisasanti Syndicate

What Srisasanti Syndicate does

Srisasanti Syndicate is a privately held Indonesian art gallery group founded in 1994 by E. St. Eddy Prakoso and headquartered in Yogyakarta. It operates a three-gallery structure — Srisasanti Gallery (established and globally exposed Indonesian artists), kohesi Initiatives (contemporary artists across diverse media), and STEM Projects (emerging and under-represented artists) — sharing unified management and a long-term artist representation philosophy. The syndicate runs two physical exhibition spaces at Tirtodipuran Link in Yogyakarta and supplements its in-house programming with active participation in major international art fairs including Art Jakarta, Frieze Seoul, and Art SG.

The group's primary revenue mechanism is commission-based artwork sales generated through gallery exhibitions and international art fair presentation, augmented by a secondary publishing stream that has produced dozens of art books and catalogs documenting Indonesian art history. Customer-facing distribution is split between two physical gallery buildings in Yogyakarta (Tirtodipuran Link Buildings A and B) and recurring international art fair appearances. Marketing channels are concentrated on three branded Instagram accounts (one per gallery entity) plus press releases and digital e-catalogs accompanying each exhibition.

Srisasanti Syndicate serves a dual-sided audience: artists seeking long-term career development, gallery representation, and international exposure, and collectors/museums acquiring curated contemporary Indonesian art. The syndicate also engages general public audiences through artist talks, gallery tours, and creative workshops accompanying each exhibition. The business is small in scale (~10 employees), founder-owned, and operates with no disclosed external investment, no funding history, and no institutional ownership changes.
