Katalog Pameran Tunggal Hanafi, Id, Jogja Gallery (2007), Hal hanafi pintu belakang | derau jawa Sambutan Kepala Galeri Nasional Indonesia Galeri Nasional Indonesia - Kementerian Pendi- dikan dan Kebudayaan - menyambut baik penye- lenggaraan Pameran Tunggal Hanafi ”Pintu Be- lakang | Derau Jawa” di Galeri Nasional Indonesia. Hanafi yang cukup lama berkecimpung di dunia kesenian, utamanya di bidang seni rupa relatif in- tens berkarya dan telah menggelar banyak pameran, baik pameran tunggal maupun pameran bersama, di dalam negeri ataupun mancanegara. Pada tahun 2016 ini, merupakan pameran tunggal Hanafi un- tuk yang ketiga kalinya digelar di Galeri Nasional Indonesia, setelah sebelumnya pernah diselenggara- kan pada 2006 dan 2010. Hanafi acapkali mengeksplorasi dan menerjemah- kan idea konseptualnya ke dalam berbagai me- dia ekpresi, seperti lukisan, patung, dan instalasi. Karya-karyanya telah memiliki karakter dan iden- titas tersendiri yang selalu menarik untuk diperbin- cangkan. Bahkan satu lukisannya telah menjadi koleksi Galeri Nasional Indonesia / Koleksi Negara. Lukisan tersebut berjudul Pukul 12 Siang Hari, akri- lik dan enamel pada kanvas, 230 x 250 cm, 2006. Pada karya yang lain pernah mendapatkan peng- hargaan seni, beberapa diantaranya adalah Top 10 Philip Morris Art Award (1997); Finalis Indofood Art Award (2002 dan 2003); Top 10 Golden Pal- ette, Ancol, Jakarta (2005); serta Anugerah Kebu- dayaan FIB Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta (2005). Selain melahirkan karya–karya seni lukis dan insta- lasi, Hanafi juga menekuni dunia artistik panggung dengan menggelar pertunjukan seni yang berkolab- orasi dengan seniman tari, teater, dan sastra. Melalui Pameran Tunggal Hanafi ”Pintu Belakang | Derau Jawa” ini, diharapkan dapat membuka kesempatan bagi masyarakat untuk mengapresi- asi karya-karya Hanafi, menambah wawasan dan mengenal lebih dekat tokoh-tokoh seni rupa Indo- nesia, serta membuka dialog publik yang memun- culkan inspirasi serta motivasi dari perjalanan kreat- if seorang Hanafi. Kami ucapkan selamat kepada Hanafi, serta terima kasih kepada kurator pameran ini Agung Hujatnikajennong, Studio Hanafi, dan seluruh pihak yang telah bekerja keras mewujudkan pameran ini. Selamat berpameran, selamat mengapresiasi! Jakarta, Maret 2016 Tubagus ‘Andre’ Sukmana Esai Kuratorial Opening Speech from the Head of Galeri Nasional Indonesia Galeri Nasional Indonesia--The ministry of Edu- cation and Culture--warmly welcome Hanafi’s Solo Exhibition “The Backdoor | Noise Java” at Galeri Nasional Indonesia. Hanafi has been involved in the arts for a long time, particularly in visual arts where he has been working relatively intensely and has held numerous exhibitions, both solo and col- laborative, national as well as international. In 2016, this will be his third time holding an exhibition at Galeri Nasional Indonesia, after having done so in 2006 and 2010. Hanafi often explores and translates his conceptual ideas into various media of expression, like paint- ings, sculptures, and installations. His works possess a unique character and identity that are always in- teresting to discuss. One of his paintings has even made it into the collection of Galeri Nasional In- donesia / the National Collection. The painting is titled Pukul 12 Siang Hari, acrylic and enamel on canvas, 230 x 250 cm, 2006. His other works have also won awards, some of those awards are; Top 10 Philip Morris Art Award (1997); Indofood Art Award Finalist (2002 and 2003); Top 10 Golden Palette, Ancol, Jakarta (2005); and a Cultural Award from Universitas Indonesia’s Cultural Studies Facul- ty, Jakarta (2005). Aside from producing visual arts work and installations, Hanafi has also delved into the performing arts by organizing an art show with dance, theatre, and literary artists. Through this solo exhibition, we hope to give the public a chance to appreciate Hanafi’s works, ex- pand their knowledge and familiarize themselves with Indonesia’s art figures, in addition to starting a public dialogue that births inspiration and motiva- tion from Hanafi’s creative journey. We would like to say congratulations to Hanafi, and thank you to the curator of this exhibition Agung Hujatnikajen- nong, Studio Hanafi, and all parties that have made this exhibition possible. Happy exhibiting, happy appreciating!

Saya menyebutnya sebagai tikungan yang penting. Meski karya-karya dalam pameran terse- but tidak memperlihatkan penemuan dan peruba- han gaya, medium atau teknik baru, Oksigen Jawa menandai tikungan tematik yang memberi warna baru pada perhatian, cara kerja dan tabiat artistik Hanafi hari-hari ini. Dalam Oksigen Jawa, Hanafi menggarap segenap ruang pamer di Galeri Soemardja menjadi instalasi besar yang terbangun atas ingatan-ingatan tentang kisah hidupnya. Dari pintu depan galeri, Hanafi membangun labirin, menggiring penonton mema- suki narasi-narasi tentang objek-objek yang mesin jahit, peniti, ranjang rumah sakit, piring makan, padi, troli beras, sulaman, handuk, kap lampu dan gulungan benang. Semua itu tergambarkan pada kanvas, atau hadir sebagai bagian dari instalasi di ruang pamer. Oksigen Jawa adalah sebuah ‘biografi visual’, Hanafi menegaskan. Oksigen Jawa menampilkan lukisan-lukisan yang tak lagi sepenuhnya ‘abstrak’ seperti yang kita temui dalam pameran-pameran Hanafi sebelumn- ya.1 Nyaris pada semua lukisan Oksigen Jawa, ob- jek-objek hadir dan digambarkan dengan sedikit 1 Lihat lukisan-lukisan Hanafi, terutama dalam pamer- an-pameran tunggalnya: id (2006), Enigma (2007), Of Space and Shadows (2009) dan Migrasi Kolong Meja (2014). saja deformasi bentuk. Sebagian malah dipertegas dengan tulisan-tulisan yang terbaca. Bagian integral dari proyek Oksigen Jawa adalah buku tipis yang Hanafi tulis dalam bentuk fragmen-fragmen cerita tentang kehidupannya, serupa sketsa-sketsa untuk memoar yang lebih luas. Saya menengarai bahwa secara menyeluruh Oksigen Jawa dilatari oleh kebu- tuhan Hanafi untuk mengingat. Dan untuk mem- bekukan kisah-kisah yang semula samar-samar dan hanya berkelebat-kelebat dalam ranah ingatan itu, ia memerlukan tanda-tanda dan gambaran yang dapat terbaca secara lebih jelas. Objek-objek Oksi- gen Jawa hadir sebagai memento yang tidak sekadar mematok jalan masuk menuju kisah-kisah, namun harus dapat memancing keterlibatan penonton atau pembacanya secara lebih langsung. Publik telah mengenal dan terlanjur mengidentifi- kasi sosok Hanafi sebagai ‘pelukis abstrak’. Lansir- an itu tidak sepenuhnya salah, mengingat sebagian besar lukisan-lukisannya dihasilkan dari prinsip mengaburkan atau menyembunyikan bentuk-ben- tuk representasional. Namun harus difahami bah- wa prinsip abstraksi yang dianut Hanafi bukan- lah melulu soal gubah-menggubah bentuk atau bermain-main dengan bahasa formalistik. Kerja melukisnya mencerminkan suatu pendekatan re- flektif sekaligus refleksif dalam memecahkan per- soalan: Reflektif, karena keseniannya melibatkan pemikiran-pemikiran dan kontemplasi mendalam tentang sesuatu di balik fenomena empirik atau in- derawi belaka. Refleksif, karena Hanafi cenderung menempatkan dirinya sendiri sebagai subjek yang terkena dampak oleh, atau terlibat langsung dengan persoalan yang dipikirkannya. Bagi Hanafi abstraksi bukanlah suatu gaya, apalagi ideologi, yang harus dipatuhi secara buta. Lebih penting baginya adalah menempatkan kerja seninya sebagai manifestasi dari caranya memikirkan persoalan, yang bukan kebetu- lan banyak diwarnai oleh pendekatan retorik kalau bukan puitik. Hanafi adalah seorang seniman yang cenderung ter- buka, kalau bukan bebas, dalam bekerja. Sejumlah pengamat telah mengulas karya-karyanya sebagai manifestasi dari ‘keriangan dan kebebasan’ dalam mencipta.2 Dalam pameran tunggalnya, Of Spaces and Shadows (2009), misalnya, ia bisa dengan san- tainya menyandingkan lukisan-lukisan abstraknya dengan instalasi atau patung yang justru nampak ‘realistik’, figuratif. Namun Oksigen Jawa, menurut saya, bukan sekadar proyek yang menegaskan ker- iangan Hanafi dalam bekerja. Sebagaimana dite- gaskan dengan frasa ‘biografi visual’, tanda-tanda dalam Oksigen Jawa memang hadir untuk mene- gaskan memori dan narasi-narasi personal. Perso- alan yang disuguhkan dalam Oksigen Jawa lebih luas dari sekadar cerita seorang anak seorang ten- tara kelahiran Purworejo yang merantau ke Jakarta

  • Discovering the 'Language' and the 'Literature' of West Java
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 34, No.1, June 1996 Discovering the 'Language' and the 'Literature' of West Java: An Introduction to the Formation of Sundanese Writing in 19th Century West Java* Mikihira MaRlYAMA** I The 'Language' Discovering the 'Language' An ethnicity (een volk) is defined by a language.i) This idea had come to be generally accepted in the Dutch East Indies at the beginning of the twentieth century. The prominent Sundanese scholar, Raden Memed Sastrahadiprawira, expressed it, probably in the 1920s, as follows: Basa teh anoe djadi loeloegoe, pangtetelana djeung pangdjembarna tina sagala tanda-tanda noe ngabedakeun bangsa pada bangsa. Lamoen sipatna roepa-roepa basa tea leungit, bedana bakat-bakatna kabangsaan oge moesna. Lamoen ras kabangsaanana soewoeng, basana eta bangsa tea oge lila-lila leungit. [Sastrahadiprawira in Deenik n. y.: 2] [The language forms a norm: the most evident and the most comprehensive symbols (notions) to distinguish one ethnic group from another. If the characteristics of a language disappear, the distinguishing features of an ethnicity will fade away as well. If an ethnicity no longer exists, the language of the ethnic group will also disappear in due course of time.] There is a third element involved: culture. Here too, Dutch assumptions exerted a great influence upon the thinking of the growing group of Sundanese intellectuals: a It occurred to me that I wanted to be a scholar when I first met the late Prof. Kenji Tsuchiya in 1980. It is he who stimulated me to write about the formation of Sundano­ logy in a letter from Jakarta in 1985.

ÉTUDES ADITIA GUNAWAN 1 Textiles in Old-Sundanese Texts Introduction1 Once upon a time Dayang Sumbi was having a wonderful time weaving. Her taropong, that is, a bamboo tool for rolling yarn, fell from her hands. So frail was she that she joked: if a woman would pick up that taropong for her, she would make her her sister, and if a man would do so, she would surely make him her husband. Si Tumang, her loyal dog, heard that promise. With enthusiasm he picked up the taropong, presenting it to Dayang Sumbi while sitting in front of her and staring at her intently. Dayang Sumbi regretted her words. But the oath could not be unsaid. Dayang Sumbi finally married Tumang and they had a son, Sang Kuriang.

  • The History of Education in West Java, Indonesia: from Traditional Era Toward Modern Era
    EDUCARE: International Journal for Educational Studies, 1(2) 2009 The History of Education in West Java, Indonesia: From Traditional Era toward Modern Era Andi Suwirta ABSTRACT: The history of education in West Java, Indonesia has been so long. If it is begun with informal education in family life, then its history can be started since people have been familiar with family life, a period of time that has never ended its beginning (time of immemorial) and its ending. Meanwhile, non-formal education is acquired from social interaction between an individual and another, between an individual and his community, and between a community and its surrounding community. The true formal education was gained since Sundanese people in West Java interacted with the great tradition, from the religion and civilization of Hinduism- Buddhist, Islam and Western. These three waves of civilization had influenced our national life, from old times up to recent times, included education sector. This paper, however, tried to discuss the history of education in West Java, its growth and development which had been existed since its earliest time – as long as the existing sources were possible – until the latest education development. Therefore, this paper tried to study the history of education in West Java, starting from Hinduism-Buddhist, Islam, Dutch and Japanese colonial, national independence and up to this recent development period. KEY WORDS: history of education, West Java, Sundanese people and three waves of civilization in Indonesia. Introduction Neleng neng kung, neleng neng kung. Geura gede geura jangkung, geura sakola ka Bandung, geura makayakeun indung (Kunto, 1986:153).

  • Sundanese Manuscripts : Their Existence, Functions, and Contents
    史資料ハブ/アジアにおける在地固有文書解題 Sundanese Manuscripts : Their Existence, Functions, and Contents Edi S. EKADJATI (Visiting Professor at ILCAA, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies) (Professor at Padjadjaran University, INDONESIA) In Indonesia two forms of writing tradition exist, namely inscriptions and manu- scripts. The former were written on stone and metal, while the latter on palm leaf, bam- boo, and paper. The texts of inscriptions are generally brief containing only of a small number of lines stating a royal decree or announcement, or commemorating of a royal or religious event, while the texts of the manuscripts are usually lengthy, even numbering to thousands of pages containing a variety of expressions, thoughts, experiences, and ac- counts. Some regions in Indonesia have produced manuscripts, but others have only oral traditions. Tanah Sunda or West Java (see: maps) has produced both of the traditions. Inscriptions began to be made in mid-5th century (Vogel, 1925; Poerbatjaraka, 1952), while the time of the beginning of written manuscripts is still unknown. The main reason for this is the different materials used. Inscriptions are made on such materials as stone or metal which are more resistant to decay and weather, while manuscripts are made on leaves which are vulnerable. According to written sources of the 16th century (Atja, 1968; Atja & Saleh Danasasmita, 1981, Noorduyn, 1971), the tradition of writing manuscripts in Tanah Sunda had existed long before the 16th century, dating as far back as the times of the Kingdoms of Sunda and Galuh (8th century). Nevertheless, on the basis of the date stated in the texts, the oldest extant Sundanese manuscript dates back to the 14th century (Krom, 1915), and the writing of Sundanese manuscripts continued to be done until the end of the 20th century.

  • Narrating Knowledge Reflections on the Encyclopedie Impulse in Literary Texts from Indonesian and Malay Worlds
    TONY DAY and WILL DERKS Narrating Knowledge Reflections on the Encyclopedie Impulse in Literary Texts from Indonesian and Malay Worlds These days if you want to consult the first volume of Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopedie, just click on http://tuna.uchicago.edu/ homes/mark/ ENC DEMO/. Soon a facsimile of the entire first edition of one of the world's most famous encyclopedias will be available for casual reading or detailed searching at this URL. Created by the Project for American and French research on the Treasury of the French Language, the web page presents the internet user with a contemporary oxymoron: one of the most famous com- pendia of Enlightenment 'knowledge' presented as but a speek, a single glis- tening star, in the cosmos of 'information' which is the World Wide Web. If 'knowledge' is information which has been acquired, organized, and under- stood according to certain principles of selection and organization, including those of the 'encyclopedia', 'information' is the raw data, the 'statement' of facts' (SOED 1965:1003), out of which knowledge is constructed. The Internet is the medium par excellence of the information age, an ever expanding, chaotic, non-hierarchical, infinite universe of data. In this essay we want to reflect on the encyclopedie impulse in a number of literary texts from alam Indonesia dan Melayu, from Indonesian and Malay worlds. We begin with a discussion of the definition of the 'encyclo- pedia' in the West. Then we test this definition against examples of written and oral texts from regions in the Indonesian and Malay worlds which seem to be 'encyclopedie' in their approach to knowledge.

  • Variety of Distinct Style Scripts in Inscriptions Found in Mandalas of the Late Majapahit Era: an Overview of the Paleography to Mark Religious Dynamics
    Cultural Dynamics in a Globalized World – Budianta et al. (Eds) © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-1-138-62664-5 Variety of distinct style scripts in inscriptions found in Mandalas of the late Majapahit era: An overview of the paleography to mark religious dynamics N. Susanti Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Humanities, Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia ABSTRACT: The late Majapahit era is found to mark the decline of Saivaism and Bud- dhism. In the late 15th century, Buddhism started to decline, whereas Saivaism was still developing, despite experiencing a decline. Trailokyapuri II and Trailokyapuri III inscrip- tions, which were issued by the King, mentioned names of figures and gods other than Siva, namely Sang Rsiswara Bharadhwaja, Bhatara Wisnu, Bhatara Yama, and Bhatari Durga. Literature works have also suggested life perspectives and “indigenous” religiousness as well as the establishment of religious buildings with mountain top features (punden berundak) and pyramidal architecture, such as the constructions in the slopes of Mount Penanggungan and Mount Lawu. Distinct script styles found in brief inscriptions in several sites that served as centers of religious activities (mandala) may confirm the assumptions regarding the religious life lead in the late Majapahit era. The content of the inscriptions provides hints of holy places/mandala, names of figures and gods, and moral teachings of the time. Paleographic analyses carried out using a dynamic method for the distinct script styles found in brief inscriptions from the late Majapahit era may provide information regarding the types of the currently existing mandala. Previous studies show that every mandala normally possesses a unique script style together with its diacritical symbols.
