ABOUT

Ace House Collective (est. 2011, Yogyakarta) is an artist collective that collaborates with communities and their networks to operate a space as an art laboratory. The collective is committed to fostering artistic potential and contributing to contemporary art practices by providing a platform for production, dialogue, and collaboration through forums, assemblies, and exchanges.

From 2014 to 2024, Ace House Collective was based in its first space at Mangkuyudan 41, Yogyakarta, situated within a neighborhood complex. This setting became a catalyst for engage in artistic dialogue with the surrounding community. The collective’s artistic vision critically examines the role and function of contemporary art in society, often employing imitation and fictional institutions as methodologies to reinterpret artistic forms. By drawing from everyday infrastructure, such as trade bodies and institutions familiar to Indonesian society, Ace House Collective explores new ways of engaging communities with art as a shared experience, fostering discussions around social class and cultural negotiations.

Since 2025, in an effort to further expand its curatorial initiatives, Ace House Collective has activated Langgeng Art Foundation, a shared space with Equator Art Projects located on Jalan Suryodiningratan No. 37, Yogyakarta. With an emphasis on care work as an essential component of artistic practice, its programs and projects aim to cultivate a supportive and sustainable environment, offering activities that strengthen and deepen artists' engagement with their artistic processes.
