Wh
at does "contemporary" mean when applied to Indonesian art?



  • Contemporary in it's most obvious sense means simply: what is happening now. Contemporary would be the art produced by our contemporaries. But ... it has come to mean art produced within a certain structure of production .... ...has come to designate a style and even a period ... has come to designate something more than simply the art of the present moment." -- Danto
  • Nurkholis: "Contemporary art issue bring them more popular and building their good market, their works identified as contemporary, though some of the artist in group were not really approach to contemporary art issue. ( it's not mean that tobe a contemporary artists should understand about contemporary art issue and its theory). I think, in Indonesia, identification of art work as contemporary closer to the genre/style than the artists' concept or their exploration and art vision."



Do you have any quotes from experts? Artists? Curators? Your tax consultant? Your kids? You could collect them here. What do YOU think it means when someone says: "I like contemporary Indonesian art"! ?
