Abstract

This study aims to study how calligraphers respond to the pandemic. This issue is considered important, because all activities involving large numbers of people are postponed. Exhibitions have a broad role for artists and calligraphers. In order to be widely used, the treasures of exhibition innovations need to be made public. Publication of exhibition innovations is one of the efforts to reach a wider community. One of the outreach efforts that can be done during the current pandemic is a calligraphy virtual exhibition. Some things that need to be analyzed are the process of calligraphy virtual exhibition activities; content coverage; and the factors that influence visits to the Exhibition's official website. Through a case study approach, this study attempts to describe some of the things analyzed. The results of the research show that the calligraphy virtual exhibition process can be carried out systematically and sustainably and is even more acceptable in accordance with the will of the times; content coverage is quite diverse; and the factors that influence visits to the Archive's official website can be identified.

Abstract

The dynamics of contemporary Islamic calligraphy in the archipelago have experienced rapid development after the emergence of institutions and foundations that developed the art, in addition to being often competed at many levels. This is supported by the existence of foundations and institutions, such as the Restu Foundation in Malaysia and the Al-Quran Calligraphy Institute (LEMKA) in Indonesia. In addition, various computer applications and increasingly sophisticated digital systems complement the completeness and beauty of contemporary Islamic calligraphy works of art. The objective of this study is basically to compare the contemporary Islamic calligraphy works produced in the archipelago. Among the aspects that are focused on are the applications and works of contemporary calligraphy that are developing in Malaysia and Indonesia through educational institutions and also their calligraphers. In addition, it describes the types and forms of his works in the two places of study, in addition to the influence, aesthetic value and the use of painting materials through the artist. Focus is also given to the forms and mediums used in producing calligraphy works of art. Furthermore, this study is also expected to find study findings such as a complete discussion of the similarities and differences of contemporary calligraphy art that exists in Malaysia and Indonesia, in addition to a discussion of the subtlety of artistic taste and sharpness of thinking, the artists and their calligraphers. Furthermore, the understanding of the Islamic community in the archipelago gives high respect to this artistic heritage as the best Islamic art for its people.
