A brief history of Indonesian printmaking practices. Translated by Afra Ramadhan
2016 •
In Malaysia, Printmaking is not a highly popular art discipline. It has failed to receive the attention that it rightly deserves and is mainly overshadowed by the more popular art disciplines such as painting and sculpture. This is due to the perception that printmaking is insignificant compared to other branches of art during the early development period of Malaysia contemporary art. This study was conducted to identify the key factors on why printmaking in Malaysia is not fully developed. There are two important aspects on printmaking in Malaysia will be covered in this research. As we know, printmaking came into process in the late 1950s and its development continued until the 1990s. The first aspect to be discussed is the background of the study that highlights the printmaking history since Independence, and the questions on whether the development of printmaking after the 1990s have further developed and progressed or on the contrary. There is evidence that show a number of pai...

"Introduction" (Pp. 1-12) to: P.M. Taylor (editor) "Fragile Traditions: Indonesian Art in Jeopardy" [NOTE: The entire book is available in the "Books" section below.] This volume brings together a unique group of case studies about several endangered forms of Indonesian art. The essays assess the effects on this artistic heritage of certain national and international phenomena, especially the primitive art market and various kinds of private and institutional collecting. The authors, who have extensive experience in Indonesian communities, find that many vibrant art traditions in this region are threatened by these forces. Collections of indigenous art and material culture have always been recognized as sources of information about the people who produced the objects. Increasingly, collections and collecting institutions are also being analyzed as expressions of the cultural presumptions of the societies that are marketing or assembling the collections. This book, by contrast, investigates the effects of the market in collectible art on the small, indigenous communities where traditional artworks are produced. A collection of essays, like a collection of objects, has an origin in a particular historical context and can be examined for evidence of the presumptions held by the contributors and editor. This volume originated in a panel of papers presented at an annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies in San Francisco. The panel included papers by three of this volume's contributors (Barnes, Crystal, and Taylor) and comments by two others (Kartiwa, Errington). It brought together anthropologists, museum specialists, and art historians concerned particularly with those Indonesian art traditions that had been labeled "primitive art," though no panelists used that label. After the original conference, several other scholars were invited to add important new perspectives to this topic. The additional contributors included people who have significant effects on these same trends and markets, as collectors, museum directors, or "cultural resource" planners and consultants (Barbier, Moss, Heppel), as well as one art historian who brings to the discussion a much longer-term view of transformations within a single indigenous tradition (Feldman). These studies contribute to the growing recent assessment and thoughtful critique of institutions that collect, sell, exhibit, appraise, restore, fake, and study art. As such, this book of perspectives from Indonesian anthropology, art history, market development, tourism consulting, and museology probably constitutes one of the most succinct yet broad-ranging examinations available, for any single country, of the current transformations of indigenous art forms within communities where artworks are created

Printmaking: A multifaceted art in the contemporary art scene2021 •
I believe that we are living an explosion of printmaking as a totally fertile visual language which is continuously evolving, through new narratives and a vast range of innovative procedures. In the light of new social, political, ecological, historical and religious circumstances, the artist becomes a spectator and an actor, choosing his own personal language to express himself. Printmaking has a preeminent position in this contemporary cultural scene and could be considered a phenomenon, reaching the limits of a new religion, with a continuously increasing number of faithful followers among visual artists. Temples, where printmaking today is a matter of research and continuous evolution, are all Art Institutions, Colleges of Arts, Faculties of Fine Arts and Universities worldwide, well known for their printmaking departments, international workshops and printmaking residencies. https://www.grafickikolektiv.org/gks/html/en/simpozijum_naslovna_eng.php

[Book chapter:] Pp. 22-23 (+ integrated photo credits, p. 144) in: "Visual Art" ed. by Dr. Hilda Soemantri [vol. 7 in series:] "Indonesian Heritage" (Sian Jay, General Editor). Singapore & Jakarta: Editions Didier Millet. 1998. = = = = = = In traditional societies of Indonesia, there is little or no art for art's sake. Instead, we can say that beauty (aesthetics) follows function, because the aesthetic quality of an object helps it carry out its function. Traditional artists from throughout Indonesia have imbued functional objects - those made for purposes other than being aesthetically pleasing - with aesthetic value. Yet it is difficult to identify any traditional Indonesian object that was made solely as 'art ', that is: to elicit an aesthetic response. Indonesia 's traditional artworks often embody remarkable aesthetic uses and modifications of materials, and today many are recognised as great works of art with high art-market values. Yet, deciding whether particular objects are 'works of art' (let alone separating 'art' from 'craft') is only problematic for art markets or museums. These questions do not correspond to the thinking that originally created the objects, and these distinctions have never been important to the artists. Throughout Indonesia, we find strong emphasis on the divinely regulated or moral aspects of aesthetics and the notion that violation of these canons will negate the social function of the object. Rather than creating a functional object then adding decorations, the maker includes the decorations as fundamental elements of an object - the absence of which would impair its ability to function.
Print empowers ways of communicating an idea. In fact, in many ways, it could promote democratization of an individual's expression, which sometimes can be uncontrollable and even anarchic. Though printing has powerful impact on society; it has been ignored in mainstream scholarship. Existing studies about printing press and its impact on the Malay world are limited. It is surprisingly marginalized in the mainstream scholarship despite the fact that history actually bears witness that printing played an important role in the past. Thus, this article discusses the print culture in the Malay world with special reference to the Kingdom of Riau-Lingga. It begins by describing the techniques of printing especially lithography and typography used in the Malay world. It also explains the advent of the print technology in the Dutch East Indies in general and Riau in particular, and how the print culture gradually replaced manuscript in knowledge transmission during the time of Raja Ali Haji. Subsequently, it describes how the Rushdiah Club utilized this technology during the end of the 19 th century in Riau-Lingga.
