Made Wianta
Complementing Pierre Poretti's evocative photographs of this unique event are essays by renowned scholar of Indonesian art Marc Bollansee and prominent Asian curator and art critic Apinan Poshyananda. Bollansee details the growth of Made Wianta's concern for peace, his inspiration and influences, the background to Art and Peace Performance, and the special events of December 10, 1999, while Poshyananda examines the place of the Art and Peace Performance in the international and Indonesian contemporary art scene. Continuing the peace messages of Art and Peace Performance are Wianta's Peace Installations and Wave Paintings. These later works bear testimony to Wianta's prolific creativity for he is one of the few artists to explore themes through diverse genres such as painting, installation and performance art. Art and Peace Performance represents a significant achievement in Wianta's aesthetic journey and will live on in Indonesia as perhaps one of the largest community-based performance artworks dedicated to peace and non-violence.
Wild Dogs in Bali
In recent years Wianta's calligraphic paintings have been thoroughly influenced by his drawing practices, which makes "Wild dogs in Bali" all the more fascinating. This book will make a significant contribution to enhancing knowledge, understanding and appreciation of artistic practices on the mythical and paradisiacal island of Bali. This study of the widely exhibited art of Balinese Made Wianta is by a US writer and art critic who visited Bali in 2003, after the Kuta tragedy. Black and white photographs and a travelogue introduce aspects of the island's culture and terrain. Wianta's innovative drawings and calligraphy are discussed and presented in 60 colour plates, followed by a chronology, bibliography and index.
Living Art
Living Art: Indonesian Artists Engage Politics, Society and History is inspired by the conviction of so many of Indonesia’s Independence-era artists that there is continuing interaction between art and everyday life. In the 1970s, Sanento Yuliman, Indonesia’s foremost art historian of the late twentieth century, further developed that concept, stating: ‘New Indonesian Art cannot wholly be understood without locating it in the context of the larger framework of Indonesian society and culture’ and the ‘whole force of history’. The essays in this book accept Yuliman’s challenge to analyse the intellectual, sociopolitical and historical landscape that Indonesia’s artists inhabite...

Beyond the Dutch
"Beyond the Dutch" gives a colourful picture of that struggle. Leading artists, curators and historians from Indonesia and the Netherlands have pored over a series of questions posed by the history of art in the Dutch East Indies/Indonesia. What was and still is Dutch about Indonesian art? What relationship does it have with Western techniques and views on art? How does contemporary art in Indonesia and the Netherlands allow for the links between the two countries? And how do we actually perceive Indonesian art? The book takes three cross-sections through fine art in the Dutch East Indies/Indonesia: the colonial period around 1900, decolonisation and independence around 1950, and the current, post-colonial period around 2000. Only by taking a detailed look at these three pivotal moments can a clear picture be obtained of the turbulent development of art in Indonesia.

Balinese Art
Balinese Art is the first comprehensive survey of Balinese painting from its origins in the traditional Balinese village to its present position at the forefront of the high-priced Asian art scene. Balinese art has been popular and widely collected around the world for many decades. In fact, the contemporary painter who commands the highest prices in Southeast Asia's hot art market is Bali-born Nyoman Masriadi (1973-). This book demonstrates that his work draws on a long and deeply-rooted tradition of the Bali art scene. Balinese painting has deep local roots and has followed its own distinctive trajectory, yet has been heavily influenced by outsiders. Indian artistic and religious tradition...
