Funded Activity Summary

Shaping Indonesian Contemporary Art: the role of institutions. Southeast Asia is a new international focus of the art world. In the absence of the kinds of public grants programs and arts institutions that support contemporary art in the West, what are the major structures within Indonesia that shape the choices of artists, support their work economically, and determine what is presented to the world as “contemporary Indonesian art”? By examining the roles of major art teaching institutions (in Bandung, Yogyakarta and Jakarta); art criticism and its vehicles; exhibitions; museums and private collections; art auctions; and artists' collectives, this project looks at Indonesian art as the product of tension between commodity forms and the creative desires of artists to participate in global contemporary art.
