Abstract

This study addresses the need for more documentation systematically analyzing the significance of wayang kamasan illustrations in Bale Kambang Taman Gili Kertha Gosa. Despite historical actors passing away and lacking comprehensive studies on these illustrations, the article examines the iconographic meaning of lintang gowang. Researchers are intrigued by this phenomenon, especially considering the absence of empirical evidence supporting the conscious self-beheading capacity, a crucial aspect from a medical perspective. The incorporation of limb offerings and blood rituals in Hinduism strengthens the motivation to explore the illustration's meaning, particularly in evolving offering traditions in Bali. This visual narrative holds distinct significance, requiring extensive scholarly inquiry. Using an iconographic approach, qualitative research reveals narrative motifs in Tantri Kamandaka stories and tantra yana teachings involving head offerings, symbolizing a surrender act reaching the pinnacle of consciousness. The dramatized beheading and voluntary surrender underscore the doctrinal essence of self-offering, transcending dualities and the human ego, aiming for the highest consciousness levels.

Abstract

This article examines how Jompet Kuswidananto formulates a counter-hegemonic aesthetics through installation works that combine spectral figures, sonic orchestration, and material icons to challenge dominant narratives of history and Javanese-Indonesian identity in the post-New Order era. The research data consist of in-depth interviews with Jompet (2024-2025), exhibition documentation, and secondary literature. The analysis focuses on Java's Machine: Phantasmagoria (2008), which presents a parade of “ghost soldiers” and hybridises marching-band sounds with Javanese symbols, and on After Voices (2016), which articulates political memory and collective movement. The findings reveal three principal counter-hegemonic aesthetic devices: (1) spectrality, which reactivates historical trauma and destabilises the authority of representation; (2) sonic-politics, which inserts irony into militaristic and nationalist forms of discipline; and (3) symbolic iconoclasm, exemplified by the use of crystal chandeliers as allegories for the collapse of colonial power. Drawing upon Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony, Stuart Hall's concept of representation, and Claire Bishop's writings on installation art, this study demonstrates that Jompet’s works create a space for negotiating meaning, enriching the discourse of contemporary art in Southeast Asia. This article contributes to cultural studies by proposing the “Three S” matrix (spectrality, sonic politics, and symbolic iconoclasm) as an analytical framework for examining counter-hegemonic strategies in installation art

Abstract

This article studies the social practices of Western painters in Bali based on Orientalism perspective, a Western style for dominating, restructuring, and having authority over the Orient. The painters who were sampled were those who represented in each wave of arrival: (a) 1930-1940s (Spies, Bonnet, Hofker and Le Mayeur), (b) 1950-1980s (Blanco, Smit and G. Couteau), and (c) 1990-present (Hirst, Sciascia and Bickerton). Three types of social practices were found: (1) consciously decide to dissolve with the interaction of Balinese painters, which further produce visual artistic appropriations between the two parties; (2) make Bali only as their work studios based on various specific considerations, the visual style of the work becomes the dominant discourse—Bali is only a mere object or locus; (3) decide to marry Balinese women, some even become Indonesian citizens, established authority over mini Bali in the families they build, visual styles tended to be Bali portraits.

Abstract

I Made Yasana is one of the Balinese painters known for his exploration of traditional wayang forms that are creatively processed into contemporary works. This research aims to examine Yasana's painting style, its aesthetic change from tradition to modernity, and the visual uniqueness that marks its artistic identity. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with an aesthetic approach and style analysis. The results of the study show that Yasana's work displays an interesting transition between the symbolic values of classical puppetry and the freedom of form and color typical of modern art. Yasana manages to create a bridge between Bali's cultural heritage and the global art context through the reinterpretation of puppet iconography into a dynamic and expressive visual form.
