Abstract

Cirebon glass painting is a particularly famous artwork related to Islamic art in Indonesia. Aside from its aesthetic values, Cirebon glass painting also contained the symbol and message behind its ornaments. Figurative calligraphy with Arabic script is frequently used by glass painting artisans to make Cirebon glass painting. The resulted figurative calligraphy can take form resembling those of human figure, plants, animals, wayang, and the imaginary entity or particular symbols. As it is, Cirebon is one of the busiest port city in Java island. Therefore, many cultural exchanges happened by the interaction of many nationalities visiting Cirebon which later on assimilated to the local culture. This makes Cirebon glass painting unique since it was influenced by a mixture of cultures. This research focused on the elements that are contained on the Cirebon glass painting based on the artistic, magic, and religious aspect. The result in this research has an implication to expose the symbols, message and meaning behindCirebon glass painting and its synergy with the artistic, magic, and religious aspect that makes Cirebon glass painting survived and still doing well in Cirebon society nowadays.

Abstract

Islam as a religion of da'wah has obliged every Muslim to play a role in spreading the truth of the Qur'an. In the era of information technology like today, the spread of Islamic teachings can be done in various ways, including through memes. For millennials who are proficient with technology, Islamic memes are an alternative media for da'wah. This is due to the power of memes in conveying messages through image visualization and humour-style text. Islamic memes are generally distributed via the internet and messaging applications on smartphones. Most Islamic memes are designed using illustration styles. To understand the visual language of memes, this study formulates the question: how to read visual signs in Islamic memes as da'wah media, because the types of da'wah in memes are not only in the form of written text but also in the form of images? This study uses a combination method, which combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitatively, this study collects data about the views of the millennial generation on the attractiveness of illustration-style Islamic memes. Whereas qualitatively, an analysis of samples of illustration-style Islamic memes uses semiotic theory to see the structure of design elements as the visual language of da’wah messages. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for the scientific field of visual communication design, as well as encourage the creation of more productive and communicative Islamic memes as da'wah media for millennial generations.

Abstract

This paper uses the case of the exquisite design Yaring palace as a framework and springboard to discuss the particularities of the design language of the Pattani palace and architecture. The region of Pattani represents a unique crossing between a Thai identity and a Malay identity in terms of architecture. Because of its geographic position, both Asian identities merge into a  language of regionalism syncretism that creates a rich blend of architectural expression representative of a  South East Asian language. The paper discusses its facade expression, ornamentation, layout and interior design elements.

Abstract

The paper describes how the experience and philosophy of Islamic unity and multiplicity are heightened through a photographic compilation of surface patterning; geometric and calligraphic in Mosques in the region. It then focuses on two mosques to highlight their particular contributions to achieved a contextualisation of such a universal aesthetic design and expression. Both masjid Negara Kuala Lumpur and the Istilal Mosque, Jakarta, represent key innovation, of prayer hall expression and decoration due to the contextualisation, and regionalization of essential geometric patterning, which departs from the usual stereotypical Islamic geometry to embrace and forward a Nusantara identity that resonates with minimalism and modernization in the industrialized world.

Abstract

The paper discusses and describes a range of templates, models and variations of  tropicalised modulation of facades and recesses from in the local vernacular which convey an aesthetic sense of the region, to counter the homogeneity of modern facades. These range of identified Malay-Nusantara are abstracted from elevations of mansions and palaces which convey a sense of the Classical and which were identified as a new identified substyle of the vernacular. Operationally categorised as a form of Classical vernacular, they represent a rich range of models and templates arising from the region’s past ingenuities that can also transcend the present approach of merely adorining modern structures with Nusantara roofs into a more critical approach. The paper argues that these variations can constitue an untapped resources for creating the modulations of facades in any  Nusantara-themes city of the future; without reverting to cosmetic application of motifs and cut-and -paste from the vernacular  This language includes key attributes such as proportioned and regular spaces of columns, recesses, projections, staircases and balustrades  which are fused in various ways  to present a more  critical trope  of local  identity that can be combined and permutate into a tropical ‘facadism’ with a differentiated and  dirinctive identity for the south east Asia city in general  and the Malay nusantara in particular.

Abstract

The art of adaptation is a process to translate the art form fromone mediainto another.Folklores as a form of media that express the experience and beliefs that was shared amongst the society living in a certain region are usually passeddown from the older generation to the younger generation by word of mouth orthoughoral tradition. Althoughsome of thefolklores havebeen compiledand translated in the form of folk literature andare transcribedin books and written media, these folk literaturesgenerally consist oftexts with little visuals. This is a problem since the main target of folklores is usually children who are more attracted to colorful and rich world of illustration rather than a text-filled literary book. This paper aims to describe the process involved in the art of adaptation that transforms folk literature into a more age-appropriate visualmediaforchildren as an effort to preserve the tradition of folklore in society. The conclusion shows that the process involved a deep understanding of the folklore, not only the story but also the characters and the background location depictedin order to design an appealing visual media thatretainsthe cultural values shared within the society
