Since 1988, Cemeti Art House has been exhibiting and communicating the works of both Indonesian and foreign contemporary artists. At least eleven exhibition projects have been organised each year, including solo exhibitions and group exhibitions; add to this performances, site-specific and art happenings, discussions, presentations, and artists' talks, as well as exhibitions and projects in other venues and abroad.

In its bid to seek and develop discourse, Cemeti Art House not only operates as a platform for the latest developments, but going into more depth by stimulating and facilitating specific projects and connecting artists with other professionals and work relative to specific communities (for example 'Art of Bamboo' 2002, 'Choose your own public: Playground' 2005, and 'Choose your own public: Counter Attract' 2005).

Since 2006, Cemeti Art House opened the residency program LANDING SOON. During each residency period of three months, artists are 'landing' in Yogyakarta. The local as well as the global are researched through different themes, visions and conditions.

Contemporary art in Indonesia can be seen as the form, concern, view and reflection of artists to issues developing in society. Through their work artists criticise and depict general phenomena in the society, whilst others express individual and personal approaches to their reality. These ideas and themes are expressed through a diverse range of media.

The Cemeti Art House building was designed in 1999 by the architect Eko Agus Prawoto. Local-global, traditional-modern, art-non art, individual-collective, natural-manufactured, crafted-industrial, conventional-innovative are the paradoxes reflected in its architectural construction.
