YOGYAKARTA already had a glittering names in the world of Indonesian tourism and, perhaps, a small segment of the world, as the city and province. But unfortunately, it is still worth a visit simply reduced due to "cultural property". Not surprisingly, if you see the ads for the audio-visual displays a few seconds glimpses that would represent Yogyakarta (hereinafter referred Jogja), then no doubt, that appears must Malioboro, Kraton, the dance scene Java, Prambanan and Borobudur (which is really a Central Java territory).
Is not there a new one from Jogja?
Of course a lot. Natural region in Gunung Kidul District, for example, which continues to be explored, opened and promoted, so lately a rather popular. Reference Parangtritis beach is no longer only the unique sand dune landscape yet commonplace. Browse underground cave, still in Gunung Kidul, even the middle of a trend. However, if the icon Jogja as cultural traditions travel estuary was about to be updated with the new title, which is a natural attraction, Yogyakarta remains abstruse beat Bali, Lombok, and other locations are much more beautiful.
Throughout the grand exhibition "EXPOSIGNS" held in the framework of the silver anniversary of Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Yogyakarta, November 2009, one thing regrettable is the lack of cooperation between the organizers of the exhibition with the hotels in Yogyakarta.
"EXPOSIGNS" is said to be the biggest art exhibition ever held in Indonesia. Arresting an entire floor of the building Jogja Expo Center which has an area of 9000 m2, it does not include pages JEC which also served as the showcase works-eg giant horse statue Dunadi Batik works with a high of 6.5 m, a length of 7 m and a width of 2 m. A total of 600s styled artwork in this exhibition, 551 pieces of hand artists who are mostly graduates of the institute.
With the scale and mass of the space, "EXPOSIGNS" should have great appeal to attract visitors from inside and outside the city of Yogyakarta. Ranging from the merely curious to who is interested in art. Unfortunately, the hotels that can be niches to attract visitors it was towed to help promote.
The exhibition "EXPOSIGNS" is just one example of the glitter art in Yogyakarta. Within a year, countless exhibitions held in the region-of Bantul Sleman in the north to the south. Especially if you count the exhibition that already has a global name that sort of Biennale Jogja and ART | JOG. Or that is not big nor small, such as the Biennale Child, Yogyakarta Cultural Festival (FKY), Jogja Fashion Week, Documentary Film Festival (which is the only one in Indonesia), or Jogja-Netpac Asian Film Festival. All names were held regularly once a year.

If you want to be calculated with exhibition galleries, art exhibitions Jogja figures are astonishing. From the traditional to the modern levels-contemporary. No exaggeration to call, "There's nothing quiet weekend in Yogyakarta." There is always an event, especially the fine arts mat.
In the academic realm, with its ISI, Yogyakarta has become one of the two poles of Indonesian art. Pole opponent is ITB in Bandung. Each academy gave birth to his feature artists themselves. Some call ITB oriented art of the "West" and the ISI Yogyakarta that "East".
The Academy is part of the art infrastructure Jogja. The other part is the gallery. There are approximately 60 art galleries scattered throughout the province of D.I. Yogyakarta. Aside from being a space of art (art space), also turned art gallery as a business and science. Cooperation in various art projects, by certain galleries, not only across the region, but also the state. For example, there is a gallery Jogja Contemporary (formerly Tembi Contemporary) which is a branch of the international network of galleries Valentine Willie Fine Arts (VWFA). Another branch VWFA in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Manila. By doing so, the artist from Indonesia can exchange ideas with foreign artists who often come in a residency program, and vice versa.
Another function is the gallery as a space to exchange ideas. Most galleries in Yogyakarta, private or government-run, provide a space for discussion, creation and presentation of art. Even in special moments, say Biennale Jogja, the definition of "gallery" as an art space meruak into spaces unforeseeable: in the bank (Bank Indonesia), museum, gazebo village office, station, up the sidewalk.
Different art and genial
However, the academy and the art field is just an inanimate object when there is no culprit. And all the fittings were in fact already presented in Jogja: art management, event organizer, the group of curators, historians, the mass media who are ready to appreciate art, collectors, artists community, and-most importantly-going masses art (traditional, contemporary, or kreasi- new creations). More extreme, there are progressive efforts to compile a database of fine art Jogja and Indonesia (based in Jogja) in book form or digital data. For it could be called two names: Almanac Event Arts Culture Jogja 1999-2009 Gelaran issue, Jogja, and indonesiaartnews.or.id sites managed by curator Kuss Indarto of Jogja. Soon to follow are books Yogyakarta Directory of Fine Arts in 2013, reportedly will be released on March 11, 2013.
Then, how the community response to the movement of its art Jogja?
When the statue Joko Pramono Pinunggul Tingker work, one of the participants Biennale Jogja X, on display at Tugu Station to welcome the US Ambassador to Indonesia Cameron Hume, appeared protest of the pedicab drivers are usually hung in the 0 km requesting the statue moved. Considered mengganggukah the statue? Apparently, the statue was asked to re-mounted in front of the monument SO March 1, Malioboro, because a lot of tourist attractions to stop and take pictures. This news shows, the citizens of Yogyakarta understands art as an asset, although perhaps in the most pragmatic level.
Contiguity between art and society Jogja is well underway. Perhaps the climax is Biennale Jogja X which divides the showroom into two categories: in the galleries and in public spaces. The second category made works in such a Biennale participants held at a crossroads, an intersection, in front of the campus, at one point in a village ... Fine art is no longer elitist. He was touched, it should be touched, diffuse, and fun.
Qualification of Jogja which thus makes it known as one of the fine arts of Southeast Asia. There is also noted that President Sukarno call Yogyakarta as the capital of Indonesian art. When recording the quantity mat-essential-sponsored event in Bandung, Jakarta, Bali and Yogyakarta-three of the most frenetic art arena in Indonesia-taste designations were not exaggerating. Curator Mikke Susanto writing, art development Jogja is the most rapid in Indonesia, also the highest number of artists: two things that support helped the height of art discourse here.
However, although global, has a distinctive fine art Jogja, genialitasnya own. Fine art penetrated public spaces may indeed rare in Indonesia, but it has been usual for European audiences, for example. Genialitas Jogja can be read, one of them, from the comments Camiel van Lenteren to ART | JOG 2011 follows.
"ART | JOG | 11 comes with its own provocative image: a giant baby's head out of clay, lay in a big hole, the work of Eddi Prabandono. I had never experienced anything like this in other art fairs, an entrance that is touching. "
Van Lanteren exhibitions is project leader for the Centraal Museum, Utrecht, The Netherlands. The statement can be read at the site artfairjogja.com. ART | JOG art fair itself is hailed as the "other than another" because it negates intervene in the exhibition galleries.
So, with such records, how much art in Yogyakarta is recognized as a potential tourist?

Once the infrastructure is available, the real task is to solicit people to come visited places are available. It's a matter of making people-candidate-wisnus and tourists must first know that the locations are ready to be referred there.
Muhidin M. Dahlan in the "Almanac of the City" (Jawa Pos, December 2, 2012) reminds the importance of almanac for a city. According to him, brochures (tourism) is too "fragile" to record the traces of the city are constantly moving every second. On the other hand, a kind of hint Yellow Pages and White Pages only intended for those who already know what he headed (so he stayed referring to address only). Both types of baboon directory that does not explain the quality and description-which is precisely persuasive-about something sought by tourists.
A good example for tourism promotion tool that provides information needed most common rating is the site travel.nytimes.com, the media wing of the prestigious New York Times. On this site available panels such as "where to eat", "where to stay", "what to do", and "when to go". He also provides ticket booking air, hotel, car, up to the ship. The ease with which such preferred customers. According to Nick Szabo, an economist at George Washington University, it was because of the ease of mental transaction costs nullify alias costs for thought. Unfortunately, for the region of Indonesia, travel.nytimes.com only save directory for the entry "Bali".
