Werner's absence from this warung is worrying.
Perhaps he and Arahamaiani have played a joke on us all and this story is a media beat-up?
Gary, it is really up to Werner to nominate his preferred channel of conversation.
I think it is best if Werner runs the discussion, with contributions from those in situ who know - but I am more than
happy to assist with questions.
If he prefers the javafred@yahoogroups.com e-list, then that is where he should start.
We will have the advantage of easy to access resources, that's all.
We now have several new postings which are relevant - Arahmaiani's review of the Biennale, articles and commentary
on Javafred.net, images and links.
Gary's image page with questions and related pics, have provided a format for our discussion.
I'm about to add a gallery link or two, but these venues are new to me. (eg. I observe that the Jogja Gallery is on-the-ball with trends - eg. sketches of place.... which must be popular). I would appreciate on the spot comment.
And the pics of artists have revealed new faces and one familiar one.
Are they happy to contribute?

regards,
Jennifer

RE: Re Werner'stopic - Nurkholis thinks aloud, 3
By: Jennifer.WD, Mar 4 2008, 3:21 AM EST

"Hello Nurkholis -
re What is your idea about the phrase: Indonesia contemporary art Now? ( title of a book).
-collecdol; businessman: contemporary art is depend on market now, more benefit more contemporary. This is some of my identification as Benang Kusut.
"

Hello again Nurkholis - and others in this conversation,

Continuing on with "Benang Kusut".
I asked "I'm not sure why you are asking about the book title "Indonesia Contemporary Art Now". Who is the author or are you writing about this subject?"
And then I noticed Gary had recently posted a new Carla Bianpoen Jakarta Post review of Enin Supriyanto's book launch of her title "Indonesian Contemporary Art Now" and exhibition of the same name on the www.Javafred.net site.
Alas - as a review, Carla's article is very strong on critiquing the artists' works, but she says very little about the theoretical content of Enin's book.
As I haven't read "Indonesian Contemporary art Now?" - I cannot comment. And I most certainly will order it for the Murdoch Library as I will do Carla's compendium of Indonesian Women Artists and Their Works
But once again, I notice that few Indonesian writers are prepared to write Art Book reviews - one for Tjandra's C Magazine perhaps? Carla obviously couldn't do this for Enin, who was a contributing colleague to the recently published compendium - and who also did publish an on-line interview with Carla! This small group of writers and commentators certainly requires expansion and an even tougher skin than Gary's!
So, Nurkholis, perhaps you should attempt this task of conceptual review for us - unless of course, you are also in the exhibition.
In which case, you must find an artist's forum for your critique in Bahasa Indonesia - then translated into English for here.
Smile!
I am very keen to know more about this text and the ideas expressed and the disagreements or otherwise evident.

regards

Air kaki seniman

Given the current "boom seni-lukis", I would really like to know if the artists have had brilliant success in selling not just the poster, but also the big bottles of water from washing their feet?!
What did buyers do with this treasure?
And do they think that prices are inflated?

RE: Air kaki seniman--the washing of feet & linking
By: Jennifer.WD, Mar 1 2008, 12:07 PM EST

"Well, I vote for Jennifer for Queen of Art World Funding - at least in Southeast Asia / Australia if not the world! And Gary as one of your research assistants - and all the water and bottles and other samples bodily and otherwise you need to set up an alternative art market for stimulating things!
And Gary - any ideas on how to link our discussions 'here' and 'there'? Good night all, good morning in your time,
Astri"

Why thank you Astri!
Despite all the years of Ph D grind, the conceptual artist and arts administrator in me does escape from time to time!
Re interpretations of Tisna's poster I was also tempted to proceed from Jamu sellers to politicians and their policies. Which water would you choose heading into an election?
Re scientific involvement: because we excrete copious amounts of sweat and substances including pollutants through the feet and sandaled feet are also exposed to everything they walk through, the suggestion of scientific involvement does seem logical. And Bandung is supposed to be one of the dirtiest Indonesian cities.....
Maybe we should expand our idea of the market, which, in different contexts, such as the research context, may mean different things.
But for Tisna right now, the most important is success at his exhibition.
I hope lots of people like his Jamu!
Gary - re linking, Through Lycos I was alerted to new postings on artinesia & javafred.net, but these do not appear through my Murdoch email. Perhaps I had an angel on my side for a while there?
I've had a look at the format for linking within the artinesia site and must say it seems very schematic. Its still best to spend time visiting one's own page, checking for replies and then visiting the active threads and discussions - and the wider list!
But it is early days yet and we are all learning together how to manage the site.

cheers, Jennifer

Hi All,
Since this is a separate topic from the others, and one that is potentially very useful to have marked clearly so it is accessible and can be built on further, I am posting relevant parts of the javafred discussion here. Maybe because I am not that computer savvy, I find it much easier to locate our discussions on this site than at the yahoo groups archive! Best wishes to all,
Astri
