HOW TO USE THIS EDUCATION PACK

The Closing the Gap: Indonesian Art Today education pack has been developed to cater specifically to the course outlines and assessment criteria of the Art and Studio Arts Unit 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4 Study Designs.

We encourage teachers to use this education pack at their discretion, MiFA education designs their education packs to be adapted and utilized with the understanding that each group of students requires an individually catered approach. The assessment tasks have been designed to cover a broad range of student understandings and competencies; we encourage teachers to alter the wording of assessment tasks to cater to their individual class needs. Suggested individual speaking times are subject to number of students participating as well as parameters set by the Teacher.

Despite how closely this education pack caters to Art and Studio Art VCE curriculum, we take no responsibility in the final outcomes of assessment; this education pack is to be used by individual teacher discretion. MiFA encourages school groups to visit MiFA through informal visits or specifically catered excursions. Please feel free to contact our Education Officer, Nicole Anderson, for further information or feedback.

Please note that in traditional Asian cultures it is customary to address persons by their last name first, some of the artists that are included in closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art still carry on this custom.

INTERVIEW WITH BRYAN COLLIE – CO-DIRECTOR OF MIFA Nicole Anderson Bryan Collie

Why do you think it is important to promote Asian art in Australia today? I think it’s important because they are our closest neighbour, it’s a developing country and their contemporary art scene is at present of International standard. In Australia we have no artists at present that are showcased in the secondary market, I mean Sotheby’s, Christies, Bonham’s, most of the international auction houses you never see an Australian contemporary artwork in it, we are in the Asia Pacific region so we should be showcased in those arenas. In Indonesia now its looked at as the new emerging art scene, there are artists there now that are being showcased in Paris, New York, Italy and being picked up by museums around the world, we don’t have that in Australia. The other thing is that Australians perceive Indonesian art as woodcarvings and batiks, they don’t perceive it as an important country in art, it’s ignorance basically, so we want to change that and actually become much closer to them and then so share our cultures.

Why do you think that Indonesia specifically is producing better artists than say China or Korea?

Well they’re not better artists they’re just in Korea, their contemporary art market has been established in the past twenty years and it has been growing in recent times, China in the last ten or fifteen years has just exploded, it has become in some ways unaffordable. Indonesia has only emerged in the last five years where it had the opportunity of seeing what’s happening throughout Asia and they have had a lot of new artists through viewing different media, through the internet, through communications really. They have decided that it’s their turn and they’ve just let their heads go basically and they have been producing amazing work.

What is the art community like in Indonesia?

Very strong, when I was there it felt like if I was in Paris in the 1880’s, it’s very intellectual, the artists are very close, they know each other, they discuss what they are doing, they criticise. They have curators that continually write about the works, they have discussions with students about the works. So it’s a strong community, it’s a colony and that means that it grows because they have people that work together, they criticise, they say ‘this is what you should be doing, try it this way’ so it’s what happened in France, you know like colony’s that grew like the Bloomsbury school in London that we don’t have any more. Most artists in Australia just paint in their studio, it’s a very private thing, they just do their own thing and I think that’s why it’s not very strong, there is no influence from the outside. They (Indonesian artists) take it well, the criticism, I’ve been there when they say ‘That’s a load of crap’, they tell them what they think because they’re close, so it’s like a big family of artists.

What is the position of an artist or how does general society view artists in Indonesia?

The general society, it’s very important in Indonesia, especially in Yogyakarta there have been generations and generations of artists so it’s just part of their culture.

NA BC

It’s perfectly acceptable for a teenager to say ‘I want to be an artist’ and not have the pressure from society or family to become something more academic like being a doctor? No they are very proud of their artists; it is quite a prestigious thing in Indonesia to be an artist.

How important are artists in Indonesian History and within contemporary Indonesian culture?

In their culture they are very important and there are a lot of publications about their artists. They have three or four in the seventies, even earlier artists who were influenced by European artists that have come to their country. In the past thirty to forty years they have been quite important and because of that influence some of the artists travelled to Europe and became important there. So that’s the recognition of Indonesia having good artists, they’re important to their culture but have been more important since the Western influence came into it. They represent what they want they want to become because people like Gunawan and Affandi who was the godfather of modern art, I mean he’s known throughout the world as an important artist. So they obviously look at him and go well ‘I want to do that, I want to be internationally recognised’ most artists do it because one they have the passion in them. They want to be in museums too, that’s their goal, it’s the main thing, not the money or the selling of their work, but to be recognised as a

great artist and to be placed in books in history. It’s what I think every artist around the world want most is the recognition of their art.

What are the main differences (if any) are there between Indonesian and Australian Artists?

I think the main difference is a huge because they are a colony, they are an artist colony and they have a lot of passion and it shows through in their work. A lot of it is from struggle and pain that they paint, political issues that have affected them profoundly and they tell stories in their art of their life and to me looking at the work it’s got energy that I don’t see in our contemporary market. I think that’s because the artists here paint mostly for themselves and to a market in some way and I don’t find the energy in their work or the passion in their work, I find it looks like it’s contrived, which a lot of people won’t want to hear. The Indonesian market has been driven though passion.

What are the further education pathways for artists in Indonesia

In Indonesia some of the Universities are huge in their art faculties, they’re massive, they have big departments for Photography, for Sculpture, for Painting, for Textile Design. The education for art is one of their main priorities, the whole of Yogyakarta and Indonesia is very focused on culture of the performing arts and the fine arts.

Do you think that this will change as the Western market comes interested in Indonesian work?

Yeah it will, because the money part comes in and then they paint for a market. But at the moment it’s quite exciting, and that is one of the main reasons that I am interested in preserving that, like with the old masters, in that they need to have a place in history for the future generations to look back on. Most of it, the work, will be sold outside of the country, they will lose this beautiful period of this revolution in contemporary art and well this is the start of it. It should be kept in the country but it’s not, it is being sold as we see in the auction houses on an international platform that’s outside the country so it’s going to all parts of the world.

In the first exhibition catalogue from MiFA, Asia Now (2010), Anthony Gardener wrote: If we want to see and experience some of the best art being made anywhere across the globe these days, then we need to look to practices in Taiwan and China, in Indonesia in India, in Vietnam and Korea, because that is where this art is being produced.1 Do you agree with this quote and if so why do you think Asia is producing artists that are so strong in technique and concept?

I think that for the same reason that it’s happening in some ways as in Indonesia, so many people in those countries that are talented that have been painting in more of a traditional sense, like in China they had to paint to a certain way because they weren’t allowed to do it. So obviously there was going to be a revolution at some stage where they could break away where they could do what they want and a lot of artists now can because of the technology that is available and seeing what’s out there. You can get on the net, you can be influenced by so many people and see images of them and I think that’s caused a revolution in contemporary art, information and the closeness, we can talk to people anywhere in the word and people travel, it’s easy. Countries become richer so they can actually do things, like in Vietnam the tourist industry has changed because they have been at war for so long. So obviously for some of these artists there is a lot of passion in what they’re doing and also they do it because it’s a part of their life, it’s their existence so they want to it be good and there is a lot of competition. But I think it’s a lot through experience, the experience of just trying to survive and you get a lot of passion and energy in their work. If they’re good their good, it doesn’t matter if it’s traditional or contemporary, they’ve got some energy in them that people want to know too.

Do you think that passion comes from living a country that has struggled through enormous upheavals?

I do, I think a lot of great painters have come through, not just in Asia, but through things that have happed in their lives. There is a lot of natural people who are artists who have eventually been given the opportunity to paint because their cultures become a lot more stable and they can afford to do things unlike before. Things become more accessible like paint, canvasses, money to be able to buy these things because their countries have become wealthier and experiences through travel. There are all these amazing things that can happen when people have the opportunity of doing something that they’re

passionate about. By going to University and saying ‘I want to be an artist, I want to be an artist’, so they go and study it but it doesn’t mean that you are, it doesn’t mean that you have that burning desire, like a singer, some people open their mouths and a beautiful note comes out it’s the same with art. It’s the same, people try to do it, you can study it and learn the technique, it just doesn’t cut it, you always know the ones, the purest voice it’s the same with art, it doesn’t matter what medium it is, if it’s transposed onto a canvas or writing is the same to me.

Do you think that Indonesia has always produced engaging work or is it just that they have slowly gained more recognition within Western countries?

No I think it’s because they’ve had modernist artists that have been painting for the last thirty years and they’ve been known as good artists but they haven’t had the opportunity of getting to the International market. I think because the new artists coming up and because of auction houses like Sotheby’s and Christies needing to get new material they’ve looked at different countries, China was one, Korea is now becoming quite important in the secondary market which is putting lot more focus on galleries and what they own, in the Middle East another market that is exploding, they’ve had a great art market in the last thirty or forty years and no one had really picked it up but now they have. I think China had started it and it had just been rolling around and there are cultures that have become richer like Indonesia, Vietnam and Korea and their younger generation is becoming richer and looking for more contemporary work that has helped the market too.

Do you think that being able to advertise works across the world digitally has pushed these artists into recognition at a quicker rate than before?

Yeah, its information, its people going ‘yeah I like that, I wanna know more about it, I can see it’. Technology has defiantly pushed the art market. You have the power to instantly know, if you want to know about an artist work you can Google it and if you’re really interested in it you can go and see it you know?

How do you think Asian artists will be represented in the Australian market over the next few years?

I think that it will grow quite rapidly, I think for what we’re doing here at MiFA now it’s going to be the watershed for it, when people see the quality of works that are produced from Indonesia and South East Asia they will look twice at what they have been buying. That will help the Australian art market too because it will show what’s out there and what they are doing is just not up to scratch and if you want to be an artist you’ve got to really work at it. And I think that viewing other peoples work it will be a lot more beneficial for emerging Australian artists.

Is it presumptuous to presume that Contemporary Asian artists want to ‘make it’ in the Western Art scene?

No, they do! It’s very important for them, because they have been accepted in their own country and for an artist I think they’re main goal is to be recognised all over the world. I mean it’s the biggest buzz you can get, it’s like being an actor or a singer and the arts are very similar. Again same principle, some people can do it some people can’t some people have to be taught. It’s all pretty simple I think, we just make it difficult and intellectualize it, like contemporary art, what is it?

How does the Indonesian art market differ from the Australian art market?

People who buy art in Indonesia, thousands of people go to the art fairs; even though they can’t buy they are interested. The thing in Indonesia is that a lot of people who buy are from Indonesians or they come from the South Asia region, so they come from Singapore, from Hong Kong and internationally, it has a much stronger international presence than we do.

Is the Indonesian market paying roughly the same for these artworks as to what we are in Australia?

Yeah, it’s the same, in fact for the quality of the work and the standing of the artist it is quite cheap. These works aren’t just being locally sold, they are being internationally sold, not all of them but there are artists that are coming up where the quality of the work is well worth the price that they are selling it for. So they are exceptional quality works in a decorative price bracket if you are doing interior decorating, it’s good value and the materials that they use are very good, they are not just cheap canvas and stretchers, they use proper materials and they are very fussy about what they do.

Many artists in Australia have at least one ‘day job’ to support their arts practice, is this also common in Indonesia? Most of the artists that we’re dealing with don’t but then there are a lot of artists that are out there that I haven’t talked to that may be doing it, I would say that’s probably the case.

How prominent is the influence of Indonesian culture in relation to the artwork, the conceptual process and their approach to communicating to the audience?

Very important, most of them relate what’s happening in their culture, the stories, the meaning to their pictures. They always intellectualize it although why they do it, what makes them do it I’m not sure. They use curators to express that when they have their showings, so nearly every time they have an exhibition they have a curator that is payed to talk to the artist and then write and research why they do what they do.

What do you think artists need to do to officially compete against these major artists that we are seeing emerge from Asia? I think to get onto the same wave, because obviously we’ve got good artists here but I think that the artists should see what’s happening around their neighbourhood. I mean its all close, to have other countries that are not in our region that are obviously embracing it and doing something about it. The museums are buying it; the major galleries in most European countries are handling artists from Indonesia. The secondary market is defiantly throwing millions of dollars into it because they know they are going to take a lot more out of it. They see it as a growth market and here we’re not even aware of it so by having shows like we’re having here which are really high risk, expensive logistical shows to bring over for a commercial gallery, things like this can change people’s ideas. They can see what they are selling for, the value that you get, the quality that you get, the acceptance that has been around the world through newspaper articles that we’ve been collecting and auction prices and catalogues. A lot of people don’t realize that it’s happening so if they can see it and physically touch it and see what it’s selling for, that’s important.

Do you think that the Australian scene is ‘snobby’ within Australia but also with the rest of the world?

I think that the art scene within Australia is naive and in some ways it’s very individual, it’s what each person does. There are artists that actually get out there and really work at it, people like Sally Smart, she is a really get out there go artist that has been accepted in New York, Asia, she works at it. She actually gets out there and is aware of the market; we need more people like Sally to lecture she would be perfect to have, to talk about her travels and artists that have done the same and know how hard it is, the competition and how to break into these markets. Also the cost to her, it has cost her over time and she’s got it back, so people like Sally would be important as a spokes person to get our culture to what’s happening around us. I think the government should really look at it to, museums say they are interested but they really don’t understand most of it or their not interested because they have their own agenda of buying Australian art which is crazy. It should be more contemporary, not just in Asia pacific or the world, but I think we should start close to our shores and that means through us doing that, the shows that we are doing will bring more understanding that it’s not just a third world country it’s a very decided western thinking modern country that just has traditional beliefs and traditional ways of life that we always take as third world.

What is the relationship between exhibiting artists and Galleries in Indonesia? Mostly I feel that it’s business, the galleries use curators to actually pick their art for them and write about it. To me, not all but to most of the galleries it’s a business transaction. They take commissions like we do here, a lot of the pricing is not consistent though and because each gallery gets the work and prices it to what he/she should sell it for, it’s not consistent and that’s something that should change, there should be consistency in the pricing. A lot of the galleries don’t have artists that are stable, they sell their works but other galleries sell their works, that’s something that has to change too. Artists aren’t signed to one gallery, that’s the main case; a few of the galleries handle particular artists that don’t sell their work elsewhere. The scene is emerging and it is young and they need a stronger gallery association. I have been told that they do have a gallery association now but I don’t know, I haven’t seen their articles of association or who it is, but I’ll do that when I live there. I think the discussion between the artist and the gallery in terms of how much the artist wants to make of their work can be quite flexible, but they have to change that, they have to be professional about what they’re doing. I mean because international galleries don’t work that way, they work so that they know that if there is a gallery in Milano selling the artists work then it will be the same price as it is in Indonesia. They have to have that consistency otherwise it’s not in their interest to sell their work because you’ll lose clients; they’ll say ‘I can buy the same thing half price’, which is crazy! They are starting to realize that now and that will change, it’s just a matter of time.

How much say does an artist have in how their work is displayed in the gallery?

From what I’ve seen a lot, they are pretty fussy about that and how it’s displayed so they are very professional about the way that the galleries are set up and the way that they have it. All the galleries that I have been into are quite professional, I think it’s just the pricing thing that I think is wrong, it should be consistent and it isn’t. I think that has a lot to do with how

prestigious the gallery is and maybe how greedy it is.

What differs in the role of the curator in Indonesia compared to Australia?

Well we don’t really have curators here, the gallery does it internally and also really they don’t a curatorship like they in Indonesia. They do beautiful publications and then they have an academic who provides an analysis of what goes up and an artist statement. While the show is on they usually have young art students and artists coming in to talk and discuss in the gallery about the work, the reaction they have. The artists also discuss it and what he/she thinks about it, so they get the artist statement verbally too. They have these seminars which is really good it’s really professional, so they take their artwork very seriously and here it’s just open up and if it looks good sell it.

What is the most common way for artists to promote themselves in Indonesia?

Through art fairs they are selected, they have art fairs that have selection periods, they might be sending images in over the period of six or eight months and out of that selection period the selectors keep two hundred works out of two thousand. They are then brought in for a second selection process which might take them down to one hundred and fifty. Then they have those works that don’t go in to the fair that people can still see in their warehouses if they are interested. It’s almost like doing the Archibald Prize, there is a selection process and they have masses and select it down to a few. They have a lot of up-and-comings so they have works at their art fairs that range from $3,000 up to $50,000 or $60,000 US. Like our art fair here, they get thousands of people; museums, dealers, collectors fly in from different countries and purchase and then they ask about other artists that are available, the up-and-comings who would be suitable for their own galleries. We have these sort of art shows but there is not the connection with international dealers, it’s the galleries own interest in sending the works, they don’t want to share their artists with other people; they just want to sell them. That’s why it’s such a good place for dealers to source their works because they are such good quality and so many good artists that are affordable, it can grow on an international platform. Australia doesn’t have that facility, I don’t know where dealers would come from overseas to find Australian artists to take anywhere else, it doesn’t happen here. That’s the thing that we need to cultivate, we’re in Asia, we don’t want to be isolated, we’re an Asian country and we’re in an Asian economy not a western economy so we should be taking part in that too. They do masses of advertising, these are just people that you deal with at the fairs but the fairs are run by private companies that have an agenda of promoting artists and they do a lot of it. It’s a part of the commission and charges that they advertise, they do a lot of graffiti because they can pay people to paint on walls, doing beautiful graffiti works to advertise fairs. They do this a few months before it so they have a lot of promotion leading up to the fairs, where it is a bit hard to do that here and you can’t just graffiti any wall to put an ad up. It’s also art what they do, people leave it there because they like it. They are much more aware of our market then we’re aware of theirs, a lot of the more senior artist come to our art fairs here and internationally and their never critical, they stand back, they don’t say ‘I don’t think this is all that good’. Even if they are not impressed they say ‘Yes it was interesting’ and they know that a lot of it’s just not interesting. They will comment from someone from Korea that they have there, some things they like, it’s not all bad but I think their use to looking at a lot more exciting things. They go to Shanghai, they go to China, they go to Miami, this is where we think of Indonesians as a third world country but really they are more aware of the contemporary art market that’s happening around the world than most of the artists here, or the galleries.

Do they have a large street art scene in Indonesia?

Yeah they have a huge one, it’s very good too and their street art scene is like Melbourne.

Do you think that Indonesia will be able to preserve the traditional ways of life seeing as they are adopting more traits of Western culture?

That’s a good question, when I was there I went to artists that were bringing in quite a lot of money, an average of $30,000 $60,000 US and that’s big money in Indonesia, that’s like saying they make half a million dollars each time they sell a picture. What I notice is that they still live in their villages, they still have their chickens wandering around, they haven’t changed their lifestyle but they do travel a lot, they travel a lot around the world to Europe, America but they keep their traditional lifestyle.

So they tend not to take on the ‘ego’ that we tend to see in a lot of artists who become major players in the world market?

No they keep it under control and I think that they keep it under control because they have a very deep culture in their history of tradition. The western way of life is in there because of their religion doesn’t cut it, they know that they don’t want

to change; it would change their life too much, so they keep it well balanced in between. But they still think western and they still can be western but they don’t do it in that way we do. They still keep their culture, they still like their chickens running around and their places by the paddy fields and they drive nice cars but they keep their culture. One of the artists sits in a tiny corner of her kitchen and produces amazing artworks, in a kitchen! She said ‘I do it because this is my world, when I have pots and pans falling down in my painting that means I’m having problems, every things a mess, the kids are screaming etc’, it’s all about her environment these amazing artworks. And now an international gallery is interested in her! What an amazing story, this is the first time she had put her work into an art fair, it could change her whole life!

When Australian galleries work with Asian artists is there any major cultural differences that we need to be respectful of?

No, what they expect is honesty, just like any artist, it’s just like talking to artists here. They just have a different culture, backdrop and a different way of living, foods. They have a much slower attitude, it’s laid back it’s not an alcohol induced society, they’re all fun, they still swear, they still smoke and drink a little and have fun, they’re exactly the same as us. It’s a much more relaxed, it’s an easier, softer existence than what we have, so their chilled but still very Western. You don’t need to approach them with any type of sensitivity, you would do it as you would with an artist in Australia, in fact they welcome criticism and your opinion because they want to talk about it and they’re not going to be offended.

Do you think that because we can see works on the Internet now that people are less likely to visit galleries?

No, I think it all depends on the level; a lot of people buy paintings because they want something on the wall. People who collect art want to see what it looks like but they have to be able to view it. No I think that in some ways it even benefits the galleries, the Internet.

Do you think that art will become easier to buy on the internet?

Yeah it will, buyers will trust the gallery and know the quality of the work, they will be able to send it back if they don’t want it. It will be wonderful. We will be selling here work on the internet internationally, buyers will want the condition report and trust the gallery and it’s so easy to do it now with digital technology.

Do you think this will encourage people to buy or it will create more problems for the gallery?

It will give you a wider audience, it’s about how many people will view it because here we advertise and it’s just in Australia. To advertise on the internet you only have to only put a name in now and it will come up in a search engine, buyers will search for artworks in this way internationally. People would search for the artists that we have in this exhibition and find them on the website and they’ll want to buy them, they could be from Indonesia, Hong Kong, America, Italy, France!

Does a show can have a better outcome if you’re a bit more relaxed and take the attitude of ‘what happens is going to happen’ or do you feel that if you put more effort in the better it will be received?

No you’ve got to be involved in it, as I said before the Indonesian curators pick the art that they want, they think it’s good. We wanted to pick artists that we thought that the Australian public would say ‘Oh wow, that’s good’. You know, it’s no good having a show that you put in so much effort into and people walk in, walk around and walk out again. Every time someone walked in and goes around to every picture and say ‘Oh that’s an even better one!’ that sort of thing because then it’s memorable, they talk to people and they say to their friends ‘Oh you should see what’s happening’. We’re trying to change the perception of what the art is and if we let other people do that their perception and our perception could be completely different, it could be very boring! I want people to enjoy themselves and want to come back, it has to be fantastic. So we had to explain that to the artists and because we were getting closer to them by staying there, going out for dinner with them, having fun, they want you to be a part of their lives so they’re going to give you the best, they understand where you’re at and they’re very honest so they’re going to give you what you ask for. And they did, so we have the best show! We don’t know if it’s going to sell but we have the best possible show that we could.

What were some of the obstacles in putting together this show?

The main obstacles I found were when I went to see the artists are that they have a lot of people from Western countries approaching them. They wanted to know me as a person so when I was there I didn’t push it, I didn’t want to ask them for their works, I wanted to understand what they were doing, to meet them in their own environment, meet them socially. I wanted to tell them what our vision was of what we were doing and what we hoped to achieve by having this show. A lot of it, I think the best thing that we had to give them was the title of the show, when I said that we’ve chosen the show as Closing the Gap, and they asked why and I said ‘Well, really in our culture people think of Indonesia as a party town and

drinking and massages and girls, batiks and getting your hair done and that’s it. The other thing that they probably think of is bombs and terrorists, they don’t think of a third world country as a Western thinking modern society and that your art is way in front of ours in contemporary art. With any country, time or period, centuries and centuries back, art is the most important part of the culture it is the blood of it, without art in the culture it’s nothing. You find it in tribes and anywhere in the deep Amazon you find art, it doesn’t matter but culture has to have it. To present your art, it’s an important part of being proud and getting to know people, so through art I think we could bring our cultures together. For us to have a major show by you, as we are just starting out as a gallery would be a big coo for us. We need to have artists of substance and because you are the best artists in Indonesia and you are recognized worldwide, it would be an honour for us and we want to start a relationship. We want to do something that is very difficult to succeed at but we have the right people who are backing us and helping us so we have the right staff to achieve what we want to do but you have to want to do it too. We want the best of your works’ I didn’t mention anything about prices ‘we just want to showcase your work so we can showcase the best contemporary works, so we can Close the Gap’ and that’s what I told them all and then we had some of our main supporters come over to Indonesia and then they knew we were serious. These people are serious artists, not just out to make a dollar, they want to know what you’re doing, how you’re going to produce the catalogue, who’s going to curate it, how is it going to be hung, what is the space like – all these things they ask, which is perfect. To do what we’ve done as a team, it’s all come together to get the best of the best and hopefully they’ll be here for a long time, we can have individual shows. It’s taken a year and a whole lot of hard work to get to where we are now, not just pick random works from pictures and we’ll see how we go. It’s like a stage show, so we believe that artists have done their best, they’ve learnt their parts, we’ve been the conductors putting it all together and now we’re ready to see if it works, to see if people want to buy the record. It’s as simple as that but it’s a long journey but this exhibition will be the watershed of what could happen. I believe that because we have the attitude here of being a very relaxed, we love what we do, we’re passionate about it, we’re approachable, I think that being there on the ground and being passionate about what we do and very professional as well, we’re got their trust and they admire what we are doing and I know they want to help us. It would have been a long time happening if we hadn’t done this show, at the moment it’s probably the best time to do it and the other benefit is that because we’re dealing with the Asia pacific region, it is the perfect forum for relaxed communication between the arts and business. By having major shows will get people and companies to talk which will help us in the long run as they want to get involved as it cost a lot of money to run a gallery and we need people to get involved.

How did you go about curating the exhibition?

That was really exciting because we were aware of what was happening in the secondary market. I’d been dealing with Asian Pacific art for a long time, but not the contemporary artists, all the master paintings so we went through the sales over the past five years and looked at artists we liked. I then Googled important Indonesian artists in the secondary market and then by going to Indonesia and meeting artists in galleries and being taken around and seeing works that I liked. So we got an idea of what the galleries had and met other artists at opening and it started to form, then we thought these are the artists we feel would be good, some are very important but less commercial and some are very commercial but in some ways not as important, in a museum sense anyway. We had to balance it out so what I said at the start it’s like you don’t know what you’re going to get, you only get to talk to the artists about the work your seeing, works that they’ve already done so if you see something you like and tell ‘ if you do something around that area we’d be happy’. I then said to each artists is ‘what I need is… wow, I don’t care how big it is but when I walk in and see it I want to be able to go WOW. So if you paint a picture that you think is WOW – I know wow is a stupid word but wow to me is a big one – I want that! So the wow factor we need, so if it’s not WOW we’re not going to take it’, we’re talking with friends here. So then we let go, we wanted new works for the show and gradually, gradually we got images of their paintings and we’d say ‘Wow, that’s good’ or I’d go to an art fair and saw something that was ‘Wow’ and we’d buy it. So eventually it came though and it’s WOW!

We can see in the MiFA exhibition Closing the Gap: Contemporary Indonesian Art, there are many strong artists, is the show just a selection of a artistically rich country or is this the best Indonesian artists?

It’s an exhibition of the best of the best and the up and coming of the best. So it’s a selection of many, many, many good artists and it’s really the main artists of the moment. There are two artists that we didn’t get because we just couldn’t but it’s a selection of the best and some that we believe that are really good, like the textile designer, she is incredible!

Is there a difference between working with Female or Male artists?

Yeah there is a big difference, females are easier. I like working with female artists they are easy to talk to, men don’t like to be criticised where as women don’t mind it, they are more open to discussion about what they do. I think male artists seem to say ‘No, I know what I’m doing, leave me alone, just sell it’, but that’s just generalizing. All the women artists I’ve ever dealt with are easy and receptive when you give them criticism.

How important do you think is it to have a strong relationship with the artists you represent?

It’s absolutely imperative, if you don’t have that you won’t last.

Do you think a lot of galleries neglect that?

Yes, they do because they make the association because they are selling their works but they don’t actually make it a personal one. I think as an artist you need to know what they are doing; you need to be able to talk to them, to discuss where they are going with your work. You just don’t take their works and pat them on the head, it’s like a relationship, a friendship and you have to keep it going. They need communication and to know what’s going on, they want to you to know what direction their going in its only comments but it’s still personal. They stick with you, but a lot of galleries don’t do it.

How do personally define contemporary art?

Contemporary art is easy it’s anything that you feel like thinking its art; some people think it’s a lot of rubbish and some things are really good. It’s so broad contemporary art, they think it’s hard to understand, but its expression, it’s like graffiti it’s just what people are expressing in their lives and sometimes it’s fantastic and sometimes its crap. It’s what resonates with a person and what it does to them, sometimes it can make someone happy, and sometimes it can make them sad sometimes it can make them uncomfortable but if it has some energy in it that gives you a feeling for it then it’s doing what it’s supposed to do.

So why do you think that people move away from Contemporary art in general?

A lot of them don’t see good contemporary art there’s contemporary art where you think “My god that’s fantastic I have to have it” and then there’s contemporary art where you think “My god, what’s that?”, there’s some swept up leaves with some rubbish in it, I mean recently I was at Federation Square having a coffee with a friend and I was looking at the garden next to us and I was said “Oh my god, what are they doing here it looks like someone has gone to the dump and thrown stuff in there” and she said “Well that’s what it’s supposed to look like … that’s art” but to me that it wasn’t I thought “ok if it works it looks like a dump” but it’s ridiculous, no one is going to recognise that unless you knew what it’s about. I mean it’s been done before where something emerges, they put a whole lot of stuff outside a modern building and it grows naturally and they think that’s art, and it maybe but to me it doesn’t work, it’s just trying. There are so many facets of contemporary art and so many people saying ‘no I don’t like it’, but usually people like contemporary art when they think ‘I like that, I’d like to put it on the wall’. Contemporary art, what is it? Some people will put an apple in a cup and say ‘That’s art’, but it isn’t, not to me anyway, art is what Chen Ping is doing, because it’s powerful. Some people can’t see it, they think it’s just a whole lot of paint; it’s about how it makes you feel.

How much of a role do you think Contemporary Asian art should play in schools and what is the most important thing students can learn from this exhibition?

I think it’s really important that they see what’s happening in Asian culture because it’s going to be a big part of their life now. They should perceive it as normal and not just as it’s ‘Australian’ or ‘Asian’, we shouldn’t’ think that way; we shouldn’t think that it’s any different. We should just think that its art, it’s about what it makes you feel and the reaction you have to it, it shouldn’t matter whether it’s Australian or Asian, its art wherever it comes from. I don’t think we should put people into those categories, its art and I know we are dealing with the Asian Pacific region but it should be taken as what it is. How does it affect you? That’s what’s important but it should be a part of learning, this is what’s happening here, it should be a part of what they are leaning, we’re right next to Asia. When you get to know a culture through art forms it’s easier when you go there, you can understand how they think, why they think that way.

What’s the most important thing that students can learn from Close the Gap?

I think wanting to know more about what they’re looking at, not just the paintings or the culture but the people behind them and what you can learn from their culture. What can you learn from it, what do you like? It’s a Muslim country, when I went there I was seeing the girls dressed in white with their headdresses praying I was thinking ‘This is going to be different’ but it’s not, they are actually not. They are the same as you and me and they have the same feelings and passions, what we can learn from them is that they respect themselves more, which is appealing. They still have the same way of thinking, they like to party, some don’t drink but they like life, they are just like us, they eat, drink, dance at night clubs, have boyfriends/girlfriends

but they have a lot more respect for themselves, male and female. They have a different society because they have a harder life that they respect themselves more and I think younger people could learn from that here, the way they act in their lives.

Do you think when China finally takes over from the US as the most powerful and influential countries in the world will that provide greater opportunities for Australians in the global art industries?

Which they will. Yeah, we have a lot of talent here. My daughter is in film and I’ve said to her ‘Don’t just think about here, there is a massive film industry in Asia and what they have is a massive lack of western actors there’. Look outside this country, it’s so hard here now but we do produce great people in the arts. We have to think globally now.

What advice would you give to a student coming out of year 12 who wants to peruse a career in the arts?

Don’t be so naive about getting into the arts, it’s a tough industry, you have to understand how hard it is to be an artist and how good you have to be. Look at what’s out there, not just in the galleries around you but look outside at what’s going on around the world, what the competition is. We’re not just here now, were in an international market, a global market and if you want to succeed as an artist then you have to do a lot of work. What we’re doing now is opening up competition.

Now looking back at your career, what percentage has been pure passion and what percentage has been the business man in your approach?

I think most of it is pure passion, not business; I don’t like selling things I don’t like personally so even if there is money in it I won’t sell it if I don’t like it. So it’s probably 85% passion and the rest is business.

Do you think this is the best way to approach the arts?

No, I talk people out of buying things all the time and lose money. It’s hard, people have different eyes, some people see things differently but you have to sell things that you really believe is good and that means everything, not just the work but also the price. If they still love it but you don’t, you just say ‘If you really like it, then you like it’ but when you sell it to them and try to give them the best price because sometimes I think people change their tastes and don’t like it anymore and then they want to bring it back and then you can’t sell the damn thing. So in some ways that’s the 15% because I don’t want it back, I didn’t even want to sell it in the first place, so you also have to be able to work with the artists that you represent and say to them ‘I really don’t want that picture’, I don’t want things that I don’t enjoy selling. There are issues in it, passion or business? You have to have passion but I’d sell a lot more things if I was business like, I’d just say ‘Yeah, buy it’ but then you’ve got a client that’s bought the wrong thing.

UNIT 1 ART – ANNOTATED VISUAL REPORT THIS SECTION OF THE EDUCATION PACK IS TO BE USED WITH: ART UNIT 1, AREA OF STUDY 1 – ART AND MEANING

Class Discussion: Facilitate a class discussion on one of the chosen artists from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art. This requires you to cover; -

a visual analysis; how has the artist used Formal elements successfully or unsuccessfully and how do they contribute to the meanings and messages in the artworks? Etc technique; has the artist used the chosen materials effectively? Do the chosen materials support or affect the ‘intended’ interpretation? Etc style: does the work reference a past movement or artist? Is the style relevant to the artist’s cultural background? symbols: has the artist used symbolism within their work?

In order to do this you need to be thoroughly familiar with the artwork and the artist. This will require you to prompt questions, get students to discuss their opinions and back up with evidence, draw students’ conversation back to the artwork when necessary and present the artwork in an appropriate manner.

Debate: Choose and artwork from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art. As a group or with two individual students prepare a debate that explores; What is the true intention of …… and the purpose of their work? Debaters may take on an identity (such as artist, art expert, historian etc) and must use visual examples to support their argument. The class will then decide which team and/or debater is successful.

Elements and Principles: Using the artworks from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art pick 3 works (at least one work should be three dimensional) and clearly identify the Elements and Principles used in each one. -

Which ones were most common? Why do you think this was? Which one do you feel communicates to you the most? Why do you think this is? Out of the Elements and Principles that you have identified, pick one Element and one Principle that you feel is the most important in communicating to the audience. What makes these stronger than the others that the artist employed in their work?

Documentary: In a group of 4-5, create a documentary informed by the exhibition Closing the Gap: Contemporary Indonesian Art at MiFA. Although you have flexibility with the way you structure your Documentary you must consider several key aspects that will shape the final outcome. STYLE

How are you going to present the information? 1. Who is your target audience? -

Are you presenting to a general audience, students, international audiences etc What might you have to consider once you have chosen your target audience? For example, if you are presenting this Documentary to Primary School students, then your language and presentation style will be significantly different than if you were to target Secondary School students.

2. How are you going to present the information? -

You could take on the persona of a local or iconic Arts identity, create a new ‘character’ or be yourself. Are you going to be serious or use a bit of humour? You could pretend that you are in the future looking back at the Exhibition from a historical point of view by including Black and White film. Will you need costumes?

3. Are you going to include videos or voice over’s? -

CONTENT

Consider style of speech; Documentary presenters usually have a particular style/rhythm of speech which you may want to include into your presentation. To inform this research David Attenborough, and other British documentary presenters on YouTube.

Information that you must include in your Documentary: 1. Content of the exhibition; artworks and artists. 2. Exploration of key elements used in exhibition; comparison of artworks by same or different artist/s or analysis of one artist. 3. Artist focus: choose one artist to feature in your Documentary, how does their artwork reference their personal experiences, interests, 4. How does the artist use Symbolism in their work; if they use symbolism in their work is it universal, cultural or personal?

PetchaKutcha: PetchaKutcha started in 2003 in Tokyo as a way to present information quickly. The speaker is given 20 slides or images and 20 seconds to speak about each. The term PetchaKutcha comes from Japan and is used to describe the sound of conversation (‘chit chat’). Using images from the MiFA exhibition Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art create a PetchaKutcha style presentation for your class. You can take on one of the following personas: an artist from the exhibition, one of the curators from the exhibition, an Indonesian art expert or yourself. You must focus on the Formal or Personal Framework: Use your 20 slides wisely, you may choose to focus on one artist/artwork or a number, but make sure that you clearly cover the chosen Framework. Remember: Although you only have one slide, you can edit it to contain a number of images or pieces of information but don’t make it too busy for the audience. ** This is a perfect activity to introduce students to the first two Frameworks; Formal and Personal as it is quick and will help students identify the main points on which they should be focusing on.

Create a visual comparison between one of the works from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art and a Contemporary Indigenous Australian work. Include: -

the cultural context of the work/s the use of the Formal elements other ways in which the artworks may relate to each other any background information that may influence the audiences opinion of the work do the artworks break or strengthen social attitudes in relation to Indigenous or Indonesian art? does the artwork serve a specific social function?

The presentation style used is up to teacher discretion.

Create a historical timeline of how the female form has been presented through Indonesian art. Compare this to a timeline of how Western (English, American and Australian influences) culture has represented the female figure.

- Focus on the intention of the works; why were they created? Did they have a specific purpose? - Where were in history where the major changes? What were they? - A clear and thoughtful analysis of why you think that different cultures view and value the female form differently.

 Be careful not to get into a debate about if you think the representations are right or wrong. Although your opinion is important to how your view artworks, this exercise is just to look at the differences and why they are different. A debate about your opinion might come in to a class at a later time when looking at Visual Culture.

 If a whole group is to do this task, then each group could focus on a specific period of time and broaden the cultural inclusions to the timeline.

Create a story book based on one of the artworks from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art that is aimed for a Year 3/4 group. You need to focus on at least one of the Frameworks that you have studies so far and have the choice of focusing on as many or as few artworks as you feel fits into your story successfully. Suggested materials: -

Illustrator/Photoshop Recycled materials Photocopies of artist works

When you present your book to the class you need to; -

read through your book discuss how you have covered the selected Framework and give a critical analysis of the selected work in relation to the Framework discuss how the book would be used in a Year 4 group

This gives you the perfect opportunity to show your comprehension of the Frameworks as putting things in simpler terms can make them more familiar and easier to understand. A great way to strengthen your knowledge is to teach someone else! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel that your story or style has to be complicated, sometimes simple is better! You could make up a story, create a character that takes you through the work, there are endless possibilities but remember your target audience. The Year Level can be changed if there is the opportunity to read the books with a Primary School Group. Mediums and style of presentation is determined is at Teachers discretion.

Promotional Pack: MiFA is working in conjunction with the Indonesian Tourism Promotion Board (TPB) to further promote Indonesia as a strong Mecca for the arts within the Asia-Pacific. The TPB want their campaign to move beyond the stereotyped Indonesian holiday experience and want tourists to become more aware of what the country has to offer in relation to the Arts. It has been decided that the best way to do this is to use artworks that have already been exhibited in Australia, more specifically the artwork from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art. Your advertising team is to choose an artwork or artworks from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art that you think will best promote the diversity and integrity of the quality of work in the show. You then need to create a pitch to the rest of the advertising department (your class and teacher) to have your campaign successful. The pitch is expected to cover why the artwork/s and/or artist/s were chosen in relation to: -

An analysis of the artwork/s in relation to the Formal Framework The quality of Indonesian contemporary art Their reflection of beliefs, values and traditions Challenge the Australian social attitudes towards Indonesian contemporary art

Your presentation can include one or all of the following: -

Power Point Video Pamphlets, posters and/or other advertising materials

Play/Skit (maybe for a TV ad?) Any other mediums that are relevant to your target audience Mock website design

How you insert the required information is up to you, be innovative! To look at the current tourism promotion from Indonesia: Visit Indonesia: http://www.indonesia.travel/ Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Republic of Indonesia: http://www.budpar.go.id/indexprofil.php

Inquiry Interview: To further develop your understanding of how contemporary Indonesian art and culture is seen within your local community you are going to conduct an Inquiry Interview. In a group of 2-4 write a minimum of 15 questions that you feel are most important to scale the knowledge of at least 10 interviewees on Indonesian art and culture. The data that you collect will be presented in a multimedia presentation that should include video or sound that highlights your main This resource is the intellectual property of MiFA Gallery and Nicole Anderson and cannot be reproduced without permission from both parties. 64

findings as well as your opinion in reaction to these findings. To conclude your inquiry, reflect on your initial impressions to the works from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art and if your opinion of the quality of contemporary Indonesian art has changed and why. Some points to ponder: -

You may like to take on a character or persona to make you more comfortable, but don’t let this character take away from the important data that you are acquiring. You can use artist works from the exhibition Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art to use as visual aids in your interviews. For your data interview a large range of age groups, some people to politely ask to participate are; teachers, friends, family members, community members etc. You may like to broaden your inquiry by asking for peoples help through the internet (people you know, friends parents or safe online communities that you are involved in)

Note: If this is going to be used as a whole class project, it would be ideal for groups to focus on one area or specific topic.

Symposium Discussion: You are a Melbourne Art Historian that has been asked by MiFA to create a presentation at a Symposium on the importance of Asian Art in the contemporary art scene. Using the images from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art, you are to discus; “Representations in Indonesia Contemporary Art; History, Traditional Techniques and Gender Roles.”* In order to strengthen your discussion, you are to Focus on TWO OR MORE of the Frameworks. Remember that you would have a range of audience that may not only be visual learners. Although it is hard to cater to everyone you can make your presentation interesting by using a combination of media and techniques into your delivery. You must include two or more of the following to support your argument depending on your expertise; -

PowerPoint Sound Video/Film Animation Hand-outs (must be relevant and provide valuable information to the audience)

*Note: This topic is intentionally broad so students can identify, provide evidence of and clearly discuss their personal opinions of the works individually and as a collection. Visual Learners: learn through seeing Auditory Learners: learn through listening Tactile/Kinaesthetic Learners: learn through moving, doing and touching

UNIT 3 ART UNIT 3 ART – WRITTEN REPORT THIS SECTION OF THE EDUCATION PACK IS TO BE USED WITH: ART UNIT 3, AREA OF STUDY 1 –INTERPRETING ART

Find two artworks that you find confronting within the exhibition Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art then research two other works pre 1970 that give you the same reaction. Closely explore these reasons in conjunction with the Analytical Frameworks and reflect on the artists indented meaning of the work.

Raden Saleh (1807 – 1811) is considered one of the most famous Indonesian master painters with works that are considered to be influenced by the European Romantic painters of that period. Using the Analytical Frameworks, compare the influence of the European style within Saleh’s work and discuss if you think Saleh had an impact on Indonesian painters today, using artists from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art to support your argument.

Considerable effort and time goes in to most beautiful works of art. Looking at the two dresses by Samsul Arifin in the exhibition Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art, discuss why you think that the clear lines and meanings between Fashion and art have blurred. To support this argument use the Analytical Frameworks and use fashion in at least two pre 1970 artworks.

ANGKI PURBANDONO

EKO NUGROHO

Discuss how you think these artworks represent contemporary Indonesian culture in direct reference to the Analytical Frameworks to support your argument.

The use of selective colour has major impact on how an audience will perceive an artwork; selective colour can represent personal meaning, a specific mood/feeling or act as a symbol and so on. Nugroho and Edward Steichen in the work The Flatiron, 1904*, have selectively used cool blues, analyse how and why they have chosen selective colour to communicate the audience by using the Analytical Frameworks to support your argument. * http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/33.43.39

Nugroho work adopts a comic quality and usually has a strong commentary element about events happening around him. Using the symbols represented in his work and the Analytical frameworks discuss your interpretation of this visual commentary.

SAMSUL ARIFIN

TRAMORAMA

Discuss the complexities as a young student in talking about highly conceptual contemporary artworks that do not clearly define the artists’ intention through the artwork itself. You are able to use any artworks to answer but be sure to reflect on the Analytical Frameworks to clarify your opinion.

How have Arifin’s and Tramorama’s choice of using black affected the way they communicate with the audience? Imagine that these works were created in purple or green, how do you think that you would view them differently?

Look at the use of symbolism in these two works, if you had to give them a gender which would it be? Consider how the artists have created these works and the use of elements and principles. Reflect back on this written piece in one month’s time and write discuss your opinion again, has it changed?

Visual analysis You will need:     

1 whiteboard marker or Sharpie 8 pieces of tracing paper or clear sheet of plastic (such as Transparency Film) Copies of two artworks from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art Two artworks pre 1970 that you have been studying in class – teachers choice Paper clips or bulldog clips

Put one layer of the transparency over each image and clip it on with your paper clips or bulldog clips.

Working on one image at a time, circle each element or principle and write any arts language and put small E&P on the bottom of the transparency and do this for each of your 4 artworks.

On your fresh transparency label all your thoughts, parts of the work that communicate best to you and label that sheet communications and do this for each of your 4 artworks.

Now put both transparencies on top of each work and compare the differences. Write a page on what the differences you have found, were you surprised by how much you could think about the works, which artwork had more identified, does it make you feel more confident in your knowledge, has this changed or challenged your opinion about the work, did you find something in the work/s that you hadn’t picked up on before?

Discuss your findings with the rest of the class and also discuss how an audience’s perception of an artwork can differ from person to person.

Six Degrees of Separation All artworks are connected, no matter how different the subject matter or the medium/s used there is usually at least one Element, Principle or theme that can connect them for comparison. Using 15 artworks that have been chosen by your teacher from Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art create a visual map of how all of the artworks are connected. Think carefully how you are going to plan this out as the connections will be abundant. Include the Analytical Frameworks and any other bits and pieces that you think are important to document. When you are done compare your findings with the rest of your class, did everyone have the same findings, why or why not?

Angry artist Pick an artist from the exhibition Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art. You are the artist __________ and you have just read a review from a very prominent exhibition reviewer from a newspaper. The interviewer has written an insulting and has misrepresented the real meaning of your artwork. Of course you are quite upset (to say the least) and have decided to take action, you are going to write to this reviewer and set the record straight, if he/she cannot interpret your work correctly then you are going write the review from your expert knowledge on the work. You intend to point out all the mistakes in this review and include a copy of the artwork with handwritten notes.

Choose an artwork that you originally disliked but have had your opinion change, write down some of these ideas so you can use them as the ‘reviewers’ comments.

Use the Analytical Frameworks when describing ‘your view’ of the work.

Grant funding Now that you have started to work closely with your ideas for your next phase of work, you are seeking funding to further finance your amazing plans. The MiFA Grants council have narrowed the selection down to just a handful and they have asked you to give a five minute presentation to prove to them why you deserve the grant. The catch is that you will be working with the best of the best Indonesian artists, they have given you a sneak peak of these artists in the exhibition Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art, so be sure to mention them in your presentation. In this presentation they have asked you to present: -

your inspiration: four artists that have had a great impact on your current works, they expect you to recognize not only contemporary artists, but also artists pre 1970

meanings, messages and aesthetical influences: what you take from these artists and how their influence can be seen in your work to date and what you have planned work for the immediate future (Analytical Frameworks as well as meanings and messages)

TIP: Some of the members of the council can be a bit tired from all their hard work, so don’t neglect to clearly outline your similarities. They also like to be entertained, so make sure you use more than one mode of presentation!

Game Show In a pair create a game show that allows you to show your knowledge on four artists from Close the Gap: Contemporary Indonesian Art as well as two artists each of your choice from your chosen studies this semester. The game show will be put into four sections: Formal Framework, Cultural Framework, Personal Framework and Contemporary Framework There are many templates on the internet that you can use as a basic idea, if you do use one of these you need to enhance its presentation quality in some way. You can split your class up into groups of 3-4 and add in a bonus round for extra points. This will not only test your knowledge but your classmates and teacher/s.

Materials and methods plan: Using two works from the exhibition Closing the Gap: Indonesian Contemporary Art to closely study, one must be a three dimensional piece. Write a short statement about how you feel about the works, what do you like, what donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you like and why did you choose them? 1. For each work, make some assumptions about each of the works; how long it took to make, if it was easy or hard, how much planning went into the work, conceptual input etc 2. You are now going to pretend that the works that you have chosen are imaginary artworks that you are going to make yourself, but you are very meticulous and like to plan out every element. Make a table for each of the works that will incorporate: -

Experimentation time

Amount of materials used and a rough budget of how much it will cost

Actual hours spent working

Problems you might encounter and how you are going to work around them

How much you would eventually charge for the work

Think about these aspects very carefully and use the images provided to study the works. 3. Compare the outcomes of the two artworks, what did you find? How easy is it to estimate how much time it takes to create a piece of work? What were the differences between the three dimensional work and the other work chosen? 4. How do you feel about the artworks now? Has your opinion and assumptions changed in relation to: -

the artist

the artwork

the time value of one work in relation to another

You may present this to your class as a Multimedia project but have the choice of what programs/materials you utilize.

The art market in Indonesia is on the brink of exploding within Australia but what are the potential benefits and pitfalls that will fall as the demand for contemporary Indonesian art and how does this compare with the demand for contemporary Australian art by using examples of Del Kathryn Barton, Patricia Piccinini and Ricky Swallow? Use the interview with MiFA co-director Bryan Collie as well as the article in the Asia One news (link below) as well as at least two commentary articles from your own research to support your argument. http://news.asiaone.com/News/The%2BStraits%2BTimes/Story/A1Story20080402-57465.html

Bryan Collie makes several references and comparisons between the international standing of Australian art and Asian art and the role of the Galleries and Auction houses in their popularity. Conduct your own research and compare how contemporary Australian artworks have stood up against Asian artworks throughout the past five years. Compare one Australian artwork and one Asian artwork that have been record breaking sales and give an analysis of why you think this is the case with reference to the Formal Framework.

Art politics: Dear Sir or Madame, The art world has been divided lately by an inflammatory statement made by an prominent member of the ‘Out with Art’ party saying; An artist’s nationality is always evident through their technical style and subject matter. This has caused a large stir within arts around the globe and we are asking the prominent members of the Australian art community to present papers to tell us what they think of this outlandish ignorance! We hope that we can count on your agreeing that this is ridiculous and haven’t been swayed by this comment. Obviously we will have to spell it out in plain terms for this anti-art party so please consider using visual examples, commentaries and bowl them over with your knowledge on the Analytical Frameworks. We hope that we can count on your support! Yours sincerely, The ‘Art for everyone’ party.
