The emergence of contemporary art in Indonesia was
influenced in reaction to the depoliticisation of art in the
mid-1960s and early 1970s. In Yogyakarta, there was a
noticeable shift away from realism, with its political connotations,
towards art that questioned national identity and
idealism and raised sociopolitical issues. Five essays from
Indonesian curators and art historians detail and discuss the
change and its implications for Indonesian art in the future.
Each essay is amply illustrated with examples of contemporary
art from Yogyakarta.
Jim Supangkat is an independent curator and critic. Sumartono is an art historian. Asmudjo Jono Irianto is an artist and curator. Rizki A. Zaelani is a curator, and M. Dwi Marianto is a curator and art critic.
