The work of these past few years is dedicated to Tasha, Scott, and Tedi, who were there when it began but not when it ended – but who will always inspire persistence, love and kindness in pursuit of the greatest challenge: a life well lived. 3 Abstract This dissertation takes as its subject matter the joint practice of participatory and individual art, and sets out to understand why these practices are so prevalent among contemporary Indonesian artists. It constitutes two-thirds of a body of research towards a doctorate of philosophy, in which the remaining one-third comprises practice-led research into the nexus between individual and participatory modes in my own art practice. The arguments set out in the dissertation are the result of research into primary and secondary written resources, translations, field observations, interviews with artists and with other experts in Indonesia. This is the first body of research to address combined individual and participatory art in Indonesia. Sanento Yuliman described the “artistic ideology” of Indonesian modernism as simultaneously autonomous and independent, and heteronomously tied to tradition and society’s needs. This formed the foundations from which modern art discourse in Indonesia involved artists in the lives of the people (rakyat) while also defending artists’ rights to individual expression: a binding knot of the kind that Jacques Rancière describes as the “aesthetic regime”. I draw attention to the way participation consistently features alongside individuality in discourses from those early artists; during art’s instrumentalisation in development discourses; and when contemporary artists begin involving the rakyat in participatory art. Case studies addressing the work of five contemporary artists (Arahmaiani Feisal, Made “Bayak” Muliana, I Wayan “Suklu” Sujana, Tisna Sanjaya, and Elia Nurvista) show how contemporary artists have extended this continuum to involve people in the making of art, while still maintaining significant individual practices. I demonstrate how particular contexts and networks of production have continued to engage with those early modernist concepts of autonomy and heteronomy, as well as exogenous and originary endogenous discourses, to create conditions which mandate the joint practice of participatory and individual art for many artists. In responding to these conditions, the work by contemporary artists presented in this research consciously engages with and reconstructs discourses from Indonesian and global art histories. 4 A note to the reader The following work contains material often gathered from Indonesian language sources. All translations herein are my own unless indicated otherwise. As an experienced, qualified and accredited translator of art texts from Indonesian to English, I am confident that my translations reflect the intentions of the original authors as far as possible. In cases where direct translation of the author’s intent is not possible, or where translation fails to denote the correct conceptual or cultural underpinnings of the word, I have elected to use the original word with an accompanying explanation, either in the body of the text or in the accompanying glossary (Appendix A). Other terms of address, titles and frequently occurring abbreviations are also included in this glossary. Over the course of the history of the Indonesian language, spelling conventions have changed. I have elected to use modern spelling as a general rule, except in the case of individuals’ names. In those cases I have used the spelling preferred by the individuals. Hence, for instance, I refer to Sukarno, but Soeharto and Soedjojono. In many cases there are published variations of the spelling and usage of living artists’ names. The names I use are those usually used with an honorific such as Pak (Mr) or Bu (Ma’am) when referring to or addressing the individual in Indonesian. In most cases this means using the artists’ first name, as in Arahmaiani (Feisal), Tisna (Sanjaya), and Elia (Nurvista). In some cases, this means using their surname, such as (FX) Harsono, or a pseudonym, as for I Wayan “Suklu” Sujana, and Made “Bayak” Muliana. I have endeavoured to include web citations that are as up-to-date as possible. However some sites have moved over the course of my research and likely will continue to do so. In some cases I have included references to accessible web-based material that supports my arguments but is not directly cited. In those cases I have not included access dates. The dissertation is divided into an introduction followed by two parts. For the reader’s convenience, footnote numbering and referencing restarts at 1 in the second part. 5 List of illustrations Figure 1: Basuki Abdullah, Pemandangan (Landscape), 1957, oil on canvas, 126 x 78.5 cm (http://archive.ivaa-online.org/pelakuseni/basuki-abdullah-1/page:5) Figure 2: Raden Saleh, Penangkapan Pangeran Diponegoro (The Arrest of Prince Diponegoro), 1857, oil on canvas, 112 × 178 cm.

  • The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics
    The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics The Indonesian term adat means ‘custom’ or ‘tradition’, and carries connotations of sedate order and harmony. Yet in recent years it has suddenly become associated with activism, protest and violence. Since the resignation of President Suharto in 1998, diverse indigenous communities and ethnic groups across Indonesia have publicly, vocally, and sometimes violently, demanded the right to implement elements of adat in their home territories. This book investigates the revival of adat in Indonesian politics, identifying its origins, the historical factors that have conditioned it and the reasons for its recent blossoming. The book considers whether the adat revival is a constructive contribution to Indonesia’s new political pluralism or a divisive, dangerous and reactionary force, and examines the implications for the development of democracy, human rights, civility and political stability. It is argued that the current interest in adat is not simply a national offshoot of international discourses on indigenous rights, but also reflects a specifically Indonesian ideological tradition in which land, community and custom provide the normative reference points for political struggles. Whilst campaigns in the name of adat may succeed in redressing injustices with regard to land tenure and helping to preserve local order in troubled times, attempts to create enduring forms of political order based on adat are fraught with dangers. These dangers include the exacerbation of ethnic conflict, the legitimation of social inequality, the denial of individual rights and the diversion of attention away from issues of citizenship, democracy and the rule of law at national level. Overall, this book is a full appraisal of the growing significance of adat in Indonesian politics, and is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary Indonesian political landscape.

It became popular amongst art students in Yogyakarta, and formed a significant style of painting which generally is characterised by the use of casual juxtapositions of disparate ideas and subjects resulting in absurd, startling, and sometimes disturbing images. In this thesis, Yogyakartan Surrealism is seen as the expression in painting of various social, cultural, and economic developments taking place rapidly and simultaneously in Yogyakarta's urban landscape.

  • Authentication, Attribution and the Art Market: Understanding Issues of Art Attribution in Contemporary Indonesia
    Authentication, Attribution and the Art Market: Understanding Issues of Art Attribution in Contemporary Indonesia Eliza O’Donnell, University of Melbourne, Australia Nicole Tse, University of Melbourne, Australia The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities 2018 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The widespread circulation of paintings lacking a secure provenance within the Indonesian art market is an increasingly prevalent issue that questions trust, damages reputations and collective cultural narratives. In the long-term, this may impact on the credibility of artists, their work and the international art market. Under the current Indonesian copyright laws, replicating a painting is not considered a crime of art forgery, rather a crime of autograph forgery, a loophole that has allowed the practice of forgery to grow. Despite widespread claims of problematic paintings appearing in cultural collections over recent years, there has been little scholarly research to map the scope of counterfeit painting circulation within the market. Building on this research gap and the themes of the conference, this paper will provide a current understanding of art fraud in Indonesia based on research undertaken on the Authentication, Attribution and the Art Market in Indonesia: Understanding issues of art attribution in contemporary Indonesia. This research is interdisciplinary in its scope and is grounded in the art historical, socio-political and socio-economic context of cultural and artistic production in Indonesia, from the early twentieth century to the contemporary art world of today. By locating the study within a regionally relevant framework, this paper aims to provide a current understanding of issues of authenticity in Indonesia and is a targeted response to the need for a materials- evidence based framework for the research, identification and documentation of questionable paintings, their production and circulation in the region.

Textiles are cultural condensations in woven form. As such, they provide a window into the cosmologies of the people producing them. This research examines the social uses of Sumbanese textiles and also attempts to uncover dominant ritual symbols depicted therein through utilizing Turner’s analytical framework of symbolic analysis (1967:19-47). The rituals examined for this purpose are confined to marriage and funeral ceremonies.
