"Betwixt and Between" define the midway position chosen by Lir Space since it was established in 2011. It is neither one thing nor another, and yet, at the same time.. it is one thing and another. It was first built from a dream of establishing an independent bookshop and since its early days, Lir always consists of different elements. In five years, it evolves and changes.The way we see It now, Lir is an art space with a reading room to make and do. The restaurant and the shop are our way to connect with wider audience and act as our support system in order to remain independent. It is also where people meet to share ideas and conversation. The in-between-ness of Lir is also reflected in its location in between the geo-social axis of Yogyakarta. The city is known to have scholars nesting in the Northern part and artists residing in the Southern end. Lir chose a location, a little bit hidden, in between the two. We are translating our location into our stance as an interdisciplinary art and creative space. Lir does not cater to a specific type of artist or medium, and rather, we open our doors to visual artists, crafters, illustrators, scholars, researcher, outsider-artist and many more.In the last six years and counting, we have held a mix of programs, ranging from debut exhibition for new artists to opportunities for established artists to try something outside their comfort zone. Our mission right now is to provide an alternative learning method through sharing, discussion, and by creating a positive environment for young artists.
