...house - chosen because the Cemeti is intended to be a "home" for art, not a cold exhibition space. The humble materials used (timber, bamboo, woven bamboo) are welcoming, and natural light floods the premises. Unenclosed verandahs reinforce the connection between the building and the street. "Eko has a special concept that believes in letting the clients design their space," says gallery founder Nindityo Adipurnomo...

The concept was, in some ways, challenging for a town so used to thinking of itself as cursed, but it happened nonetheless. First, the Red Sox won the World Series, the single most meaningful sports moment Boston will ever experience. A few months later, the Patriots claimed their third Super Bowl in four years, a victory that was so satisfying because it was so very meaningless after two prior championships.
