Indonesian art entered the global contemporary art world of
independent curators, art fairs and biennales in the 1990s. By the
mid-2000s, Indonesian works were well-established on the Asian
secondary art market, achieving record-breaking prices at auction
houses in Singapore and Hong Kong. This comprehensive overview
introduces Indonesian contemporary art in a fresh and stimulating
manner, demonstrating how contemporary art breaks from colonial and
post-colonial power structures, and grapples with issues of
identity and nation-building in Indonesia. Across different media,
in performance and installation, it amalgamates ethnic, cultural
and religious references in its visuals, and confidently brings
together the traditional (batik, woodcut, dance, Javanese shadow
puppet theatre) with the contemporary (comics and manga, graffiti,
advertising, pop culture). Spielmann's Contemporary Indonesian Art
surveys the key artists, curators, institutions and collectors in
the local art scene, and looks at the significance of Indonesian
art in the Asian context. Through this book, originally published
in German, Spielmann stakes a claim for global relevance of
Indonesian art.
