Abstract

The pottery craftsmanship of Banyumulek, a cultural heritage of the Lombok community, has undergone a transformation over time. The embodiment of cultural concepts, ideas, and forms has transitioned from functional to aesthetic values, particularly due to the influence of tourism development in Lombok. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method to explore innovations in the form and function of Banyumulek pottery. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, focusing on various forms and types of pottery in Lombok. Key informants included business owners and pottery craftsmen in the Kediri District, West Lombok. Findings indicate a change in the pottery-making process from traditional to semi-modern. The forms of pottery have evolved from simple to more decorative, and their function has shifted from practical to aesthetic. This innovation is part of a continuous cultural heritage and plays a crucial role in Lombok’s tourism industry. Changes and innovations in Banyumulek pottery reflect economic and tourism growth and affirm the values of the social and cultural identity of the local community. This research highlights the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the adaptive nature of the craft industry in the face of changing times.

Abstract

Meta-figurative is a physical aesthetic discourse that reaches beyond the physical beauty of ideal bodies (skeletal construction, muscles, and skins). The interpretation approaches used new criticism, according to Culler (2001), that goal to identify what the works repress or illuminate by concealing and portraying society and social attitudes. Meta-figurative encompasses exploration pertaining to the interchangeable position and condition between tensions and pleasures of bodies in the social space. Fifteen Indonesian contemporary artists are: Mangu Putra, Entang Wiharso, Chusin Setiadikara, Agus Suwage, FX Harsono, Ivan Sagito, Heri Dono, Ronald Manulang, Nyoman Masriadi, Nyoman Erawan, Putu Sutawijaya, Laksmi Sitaresmi, Made Djirna, Ugo Untoro, and Bob Sick Yuditha have been conducting creative efforts and questioning about matters of the bodies’ position in the public space, conducting current interpretation through personal artistic and aesthetical language. There are five representation tendencies of meta-figurative paintings thematically, artistic images, and visual meanings: marginalized bodies, fictionalized bodies, bodies of expression, autobiographical bodies, and beyond famous portraits. Indonesian contemporary artists have made figurative subjects in their paintings to make statements, self-reflections, and moral voices of their country’s socio-political conditions, which are educational values of Indonesian Contemporary Paintings in social meaning. Poverty, corruption, and anti-democracy practices still part of Indonesian daily realities are area protests for contemporary artists.
