Abstract

This research is to study the phenomena of wearing military costumes of the past as an alternative ‘means’ of visual communication. People in Indonesia like old military costumes and celebrate them as reenactors (a name for the wearers of old military uniforms) in various social activities that can be categorized into two types of stage, namely main and parallel stage. The main stage is related to learning military history, while parallel stage correlates to euphoria for military fashion. Both stages become an expression of mockery toward postcolonial mimicry and create a cultural postcoloniality that takes place in the contemporary life in Indonesia. This research applies Rose’s visual method that emphasizes the aspect of site image itself by making interviews and getting observation data in the groups of KNIL Andjing NICA reenactors in Surabaya, Bojonegoro, Bandung, and Jakarta. It also applies Barthian semiotics unit analysis.

Abstract

This article seeks to describe Mendu theatre that is performed in Sedanau, Natuna regency (kabupaten) of one of Indonesia’s newest provinces, the Riau Island. 1 Once popular at the turn of the 20 th century and in the 1970s and 1980s, there were local Mendu groups in every village of Natuna in parts of northern and eastern Bunguran island, and other smaller islands such as Sedanau, Pulau Tiga, Karempak, Midai, Siantan, and Anambas (K.S. Kartomi 1986; Illyassabli, 2013; Akib 2014). The oral tradition keeps a people’s culture alive across generations by performing episodes from memory. Mendu theatre episodes express and reinstate the cultural values of the Natuna people. Language, culture, customary laws and how the people think are transmitted orally through the arts and through the embodied knowledge of theatre performance practices.

Abstract

It has been commonly understood that fashion shows are always associated to glamor, luxurious, starred hotels, city centers, elite society, lights, and glittering costumes. It is often not realized that fashion shows have created strong boundaries between the center and the periphery, the elite and the public, the upper and the lower class, glamorous and old-fashioned. Since 2003, Jember Fashion Carnaval has been a peripheral phenomenon against the common convention on fashion. Streets as catwalks have totally changed territorial borders, social hierarchy, and created a favorable fashion carnaval arena. This yearly consistent performance and the reaction to binary opposition in fashion turns out to be able to create positive impacts in various fields of the creative industry, created a social and cultural carnival arena, education, and improve the economy of the people and tourism. The fashion carnaval phenomenon which has grown in the community was a result of dealing with foreign influences to create a new visual culture in Jember.

Abstract

Thai traditional music exhibits number of relative characteristics, though many of them are not expressed explicitly but only demonstrated orally. Its tuning system, despite having been put through many scientific studies for decades, cannot be given the absolute pitch frequencies. It is therefore possible that the tuning system does not have any absolute pitch frequencies but possesses relative nature. This papers aims to present the historic background, characteristics, past, current practices of Thai traditional music’s tuning system and to put forward the theoretical idea of non-existence of absolute tuning frequency and that of relative nature of Thai traditional music’s tuning system. The data was collected from previous researches on Thai traditional music’s tuning system and from sample instruments. The latter was then compared to each other and analyzed with respect to the former. The preliminary results were that tuning system of Thai traditional music was in the form of seven-tone equal temperament without any sharps or flats. But practically, it was not exactly equal as musicians still prefer the traditionalbiased tunings which is believed to be more tuneful. Regarding the tuning practices, the tuning of Fine Arts Department are most dominating among several others. Even though, the tuning of Fine Arts Department measure from various sources are slightly different in terms of frequencies and intervals. It can be concluded that the tuning system of Thai traditional music does not rely on specific pitch frequency, but is relative to intervals and personal preferences and its absolute pitch frequency is yet to be established.

Abstract

Research Topic: Pita Maha Social-Institutional Capital (A Social Practice on Balinese Painters in 1930s) aims at describing creative waves of Balinese village youth in designing new paintings. The artwork is considered to be the latest development of classical paintings of Kamasan puppet. The pattern of development is not just on artistic technique, but also on aesthetic paradigm. Yet, the invention and development of painting concept, which were previously adopted from stylistic pattern of puppet Kamasan has successfully disseminated paintings as a medium of personal expression. The artist and patron consolidated art practice in the art function, which was well ordered and professional. Agents including palaces, Balinese and foreign painters as well as collectors and dealers were united in arts social movement, named Pita Maha. Despite the fact that Pita Maha also encompassed the sculpture, this research focuses more on the path of paintings. Socio-historical method is applied to explore the characteristics and models of social capital-institutional ideology that brought forth and commercialized paintings on Pita Maha generation. This topic is also an important part of the writer’s dissertation entitled Pita Maha: Social Movement on Balinese Paintings in 1930s. The discussion on socialinstitutional capital enables expansion and exploration of a more complete socio-historical construction on Pita Maha existence. The study on social capital aspects, which embodies the initiation of Pita Maha, has constructed a tremendous growth of Balinese paintings, both in terms of aesthetic “ideology”, and institutional competence of the painters.

Only the Pipat Mon that there is no any form or rule in the competition. The ensembles that want to join the competition have to prepare very well in term of musicians and place for rehearsal before the event. Moreover, the conductor of ensemble has to be highly skilled and experienced in coming up with a new technique for playing in order to take an advantage over the rivals. And the conductor should know the strength and weakness of the rivals too. 2) The Study of the process of Pipat competition. The competition has a certain set of forms and rules. The detail of forms and rules will be set by each competitor agreement and it is very easy for practice. It is different from the competition that there is no form or rule so, this kind of competition, the musicians should have a lot of knowledge and in an easy and a relax ways without strict rule, form or time in the competition many kinds of songs will be played. Therefore the conductor must plan everything for the competition. There are 2 types of competition; 1) different song, each ensembles will take turn to play a song and begin with the basic melody until the highly complicated notes and those songs must be in the same style. 2) same song, each ensemble plays same song simultaneously during the whole competition. This kind of competition is very serious and if any of the ensemble cannot play or keep pace with the melody it means they lose the competition. 3) Study of the process of deciding and judging a Pipat competition. There are 3 types of judging in the Pipat competition. 1. The musician and the singer know the result by themselves. 2. The audience decides who wins the competition. 3. The judge decides who wins the competition. The advantage of decision is choosing the best ensemble with developed technique and playing method while the disadvantage is when the musicians do not accept the decision often leading to quarrel and disharmony.

Abstract

Ganjuran temple is a place of Catholic worship located in Yogyakarta. The temple had been built by Schmutzer family, a Dutch sugar mill owner, from 1927 until 1930 in the shape of a Hindu temple. However, after the temple was erected, it did not get the attention of Catholics that it was dirty. Finally it was neglected and became a playground for children. It was only in 1990, Father Tomo made the temple a pilgrimage site by creating a series of activities centered on the temple. This paper is dedicated to study the role of patron, the Schmutzers and Father Tomo in the existence of the Temple of Ganjuran in three steps. Firstly, it strives to explain why this Catholic place of worship was built in the shape of a Hindu temple. Secondly, it explains the social process by which the temple then had been forgotten for sixty years. Thirdly, it explains the social process by which the temple became a major Catholic pilgrimage site in Indonesia. This study utilizes the concept of patronage in the development of an artwork as the main framework (Becker, 2008). The methods of applied study are by examining documents, interviews with people involved with the temple and field observations. By treating Ganjuran temple as an artwork embedded in an ‘art world’, web of actors who contributed to the making of Ganjuran temple as a locus of religius and artistic action is made visible.

This may happen because making video community is not classified as work of art, but rather as a tool to convey messages on community organizing method. Video4Change (v4c) project here consist different organizations in four countries; Indonesia, India, America and Israel. The review of videos conducted in textual and visual ethnography. This method used to specify all the things captured in the sense, the visual, the voice (audio) and the symbol on each video. Video as a medium in the postmodernism era considered as an illusion and simulation, now has more authority. Video build new structures and functions that transformed from mere aesthetic imagery into practical media with particular meanings. The video made by common people has been taking control of society to understanding the images by interpret it. This research attempts to trace and shift the study of community video from the perspective of art, vice versa from what have done before. However, the video as a tool has particular rules and approach to effectively deliver ‘text’ or message in visual language. This study expected to be a reference in a cultural context that comes from the artistic perspective. The analysis will shift the meaning of aesthetic perspective that could be transforming into practical solution-based. Beyond that, this study is able to see how the perspective transforms as the co modification of art in society changes.
