nternational Journal of Visual and Performing Arts draws its contributions from academics and practitioner-researchers at the interface of new visual and performing arts. It acts as a forum for critical study, innovative practice, and creative pedagogy, addressing themes that may be domain-specific (e.g., theatre, dance, music, live art, visual arts) or situated at the convergence of two or more disciplines. The journal invites original, significant, and rigorous inquiry into all subjects within or across disciplines related to visual and performing arts.

Abstract

The Gedhong Karya Baksana kitchen at the Surakarta Kasunanan Palace holds a vital function in serving meals for palace members and guests, reflecting both social and cultural values within the royal environment. However, its functional role has gradually declined due to the absence of spatial efficiency and modernization in supporting large-scale banquet activities. This study aims to redesign the interior of the Gedhong Karya Baksana kitchen by applying revitalization as an approach to enhance its usability while preserving its historical and aesthetic identity. The research adopts a qualitative method with a cyclical and linear design process characteristic of action research, enabling continuous evaluation throughout the design stages. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation to capture spatial conditions, user behavior, and cultural context. The collected data were then classified, analyzed, and interpreted to identify design problems and opportunities for spatial improvement. The redesign outcomes emphasize the creation of an efficient and adaptive kitchen layout that integrates modern functionality with traditional visual elements. This study demonstrates that revitalization can serve as a sustainable design strategy for historical interiors, ensuring that modernization efforts remain respectful to cultural authenticity. The redesigned kitchen not only restores the building’s functional role but also encourages the palace management to revive adaptive and environmentally conscious culinary practices that align with contemporary needs.

Abstract

Javanese aesthetics embody the concept of beauty as experienced through rasa, a sensibility that integrates physical perception, spiritual intuition, and cultural meaning. Rooted in Javanese philosophical and mystical traditions, rasa serves as the essential criterion in defining aesthetic value. This study explores the manifestation of Javanese aesthetics in the craft of keris hilts made from Tayuman wood (Bauhinia purpurea), believed to possess spiritual potency (tuah). Beyond its fine texture, rich brown hue, and workable density, Tayuman wood is valued for its mystical energy. The unyeng-unyeng motif that concentric grain patterns formed by dormant branch knots is considered the visual and spiritual core of its aesthetic appeal. Using a qualitative research method with a Javanese aesthetic construction approach, this study applies hermeneutic interpretation and symbolic analysis to reveal the multilayered meanings embedded in the artifact. The analysis identifies both exoteric (technical and visual) and esoteric (spiritual and metaphysical) dimensions that converge harmoniously in the crafting process. The Tayuman wood keris hilt thus emerges not merely as an object of visual beauty, but as a symbolic expression of Javanese cultural identity, linking humans, nature, and the spiritual realm through the unity of art, belief, and tradition.
