Abstract

This research studies the aesthetic hegemony of the New Order in Indonesia. Thus far, the understanding has been that aesthetic matters are not related to the capital and feudal assets that construct them. To the contrary, this research analyzes how these two assets played a strategic role in establishing the aesthetic hegemony of the New Order. The research is conducted in the qualitative tradition, through a content analysis with a critical paradigm perspective. The data include documents in the form of literature, government policies, and the results of interviews. The results show that the United States of America, through the Ford Foundation, played an active role and contributed significantly to the establishment of aesthetic hegemony in the New Order. The United States was an agent that provided scholarships for art academics, young scientists, and artists to study art and philosophy in America and Europe. The style of abstract expressionism and the philosophy of absurdism were developed in Indonesia as a result of the active role of the United States of America. On the other hand, the New Order also built cultural centers on a central and regional level, including cultural parks and arts councils that were used as tools of cooptation. Through the function of “mentoring and development”, the role of cultural parks was to control the aesthetic activities of Indonesian citizens to suit the tastes of the ruler. The research results show that the aesthetic hegemony of the New Order had a double face, one with a character of modernism based on Western aesthetics, and the other with a noble adiluhung character of traditionalism based on traditional art.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the transformation of tapis cloth with a focus on innovations in techniques and materials used and their impact on cultural and economic aspects. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The data sources used are informants, places and events, and documents. This study collected data through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The data obtained were analyzed using an interactive model. The results of the study indicate that the transformation of Lampung tapis cloth through innovations in techniques and materials was carried out to adapt to the development of the times and dynamic consumer tastes, so that tapis cloth remains relevant and in demand by the wider community. The transformation of tapis cloth has an impact on the cultural aspect, namely supporting efforts to preserve regional culture, strengthening regional identity, and promoting Lampung culture to the national and international levels. In the economic aspect, the transformation of tapis cloth is able to increase people's income and absorb labor, thus providing a positive contribution to the local economy and improving people's welfare.

Abstract

This study explores the creative process of the collaborative artwork Painting in Dance, which merges dance and painting through an innovative, real-time interaction between a dancer and a painter. Employing an art-based autoethnographic approach, the research documents personal experiences and reflections to reveal how spontaneous movement and Action Painting techniques inform each other. Data were collected through visual documentation, self-interviews, and personal journals, and analyzed thematically and narratively. The findings identify four key stages of collaborative creativity: exploratory contemplation, improvisation, expressive collaboration, and final touches. These stages transform the dancer’s body into an active medium for painting. This study contributes a novel model of interdisciplinary artistic creation, demonstrating how integrating dance and visual art can produce dynamic, multisensory performances and inspire new pedagogical approaches in contemporary art education.
