First of all, probably like most of you who read this, I’m
not an artist but I am a fan of arts. For me, art is like food. You eat food
but sometimes you don’t have to master what’s behind the scene. Like.. an
omelet is made of egg but you never ask the history of that egg or where does the
chef buy the pan? You just fond of how it tastes in your mouth with paprika,
tomato, a pinch of salt and pepper, no?
For an artist, art is an expression from his (or her) perspective
but for those who see, it also unlocks your creativity and considerably
improves your thinking.
Semarang Contemporary Art Gallery is situated at Taman
Srigunting. Before it was an art gallery, the building was owned by an
insurance company in 1918. Dominated in white, it appeals fresh, airy, clean
and peaceful. It has two storeys and there are plenty of installation arts,
some images of Semarang buildings from time to time and a few important persons
in Semarang history.
