Art is what is left behind after thought is gone Art is what if left behind after generation comes and go Art is our heart, our eyes, our ears, and our mouth Art is our footprint

What a disappointment I, when on 18 November 2017, failed to attend the show Commissioned Art at GAIA Cosmo Hotel, because I had to get out of the island and it is not possible to cancel the event. Thankful I still got a chance to see works of art that are already displayed some corner of GAIA Cosmo Hotel.
Commissioned Art itself is closely related to GAIA Art Movement, which is a community project initiated by GAIA Cosmo Hotel Yogyakarta to support and develop artistic talent of the artists based in Yogyakarta. Here's how: GAIA Cosmo Hotel provides sponsors and facilities to the artists, to create original works of art and provide space on-site presentation, so that it can reach out to a wider audience, both domestic and foreign tourists.

From a very strict selection and range considerations, finally elected to the 5 original artwork from artists that average 5 young, i.e. Ivan Bestari, Dery Ludira Yudha Pratama, Bodas, April Susanto, and Cheryl Shofianto. This was the beginning of the novel GAIA Cosmo Hotel, because in the future, this form of cooperation will also be conducted together with fashion designer, musician and other art workers.
The preparations undertaken by the five artists chosen, certainly requires time not arguably even briefly, they spent a month to realize a spectacular work of art. The selected themes relating to "nature", inspired from the name GAIA which means Earth in the language of Greece. The artists were also given the freedom to place your artwork on site GAIA Cosmo Hotel.

This is the second time I visited GAIA Cosmo Hotel, with the intent and purpose to see directly the artwork of each art performers based in the city of Gudeg. Entrance to the parking area of the hotel, I can already feel the difference in decor that looks at the area of the front of the hotel. Artist Dery Pratama, using the location of smoking area Restaurant, with both the installation such as 7-meter-tall tower with an iron slab cover most backbones. For the making of the iron pieces which require patience because the process through combustion.

Go up to the second floor, directly above the restaurant and choose a wall linking the dining area with the hotel's guest rooms, "flying" displayed by Dedy Shofianto, using kinetic art, then a wooden goose flapping its wings immediately when the sensor gets of the human body.

Yes, I feel happy for once could see directly all the original artwork from the artist's fifth elected. So through writing this I gave the opportunity to a friend to see, though only through photographs. But if you have the time to play, don't forget to stop by the GAIA Cosmo Hotel.

Oiya, works of art on display, also all give the opportunity to all visitors of the hotel who want or want to have any collections of art objects, can be purchased directly through the hotel clerk. Sales results later, most will be the fifth rights of artists and the rest will be managed by GAIA Cosmo Hotel, to be given to the next artist who will collaborate, so that ongoing programs of this Art Movement and is not stop here only.
