Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami pengaruh sosial budaya pada senilukis kontemporer. Penelitian dilakukan dengan studi kasus pada dua senimankontemporer Bali yaitu Wayan Sudiarto dan Haryadi Suadi. Penelitian dilakukandengan mengamati unsur-unsur tradisi dan modern seperti otonomi, kebebasan,dan progresitivitas menjadi elemen yang penting dalam karya – karya keduaseniman. Berdasarkan penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa seni kontemporersecara khas mampu menunjukkan manifestasi estetik dan refleksi nilai yang bersifatkritis terhadap sistem ekonomi-sosial-kultural yang menghidupinya. Walau karyaSudiarta dan Haryadi saling bertolak belakang, namun kedua karya seniman tersebutmemperlihatkan bahwa visualisasi tradisi pada karya-karya seni lukis kontemporerterkait dengan aspek-aspek seni rupa yang menjadi bagian dari konsep konsepbudaya visual. Keberadaan tradisi atau unsur-unsur tradisi yang muncul dalamkarya-karya tersebut masih dibaca dalam ranah identitas dan keunikan tetapi belummenyentuh ke dalam makna yang terkandung di dalamnya. The Visual Tradition on Contemporary Art Works as the Artistic Form of Socio-Cultural Influence. This study aims to understand the socio-cultural influences oncontemporary paintings. It is a case study of two contemporary Balinese artists, i.e.Wayan Sudiarto and Haryadi Suadi. The study is conducted by observing the traditionand modern elements such as autonomy, freedom, and progressivity which become theimportant elements of both artists’ artworks. Based on the research, it can be concludedthat the contemporary art is typically able to demonstrate the aesthetic manifestationand reflection of values which are critical toward the system of economy-socio-cultural.Although the artworks of Sudiarta and Haryadi are in contradictory, but both of theartists’ works show the visualization of tradition on the works of contemporary paintingsassociated with the aspects of arts which are a part of the concepts of visual culture. Theexistence of the tradition or traditional elements appeared in these works are still readin the realm of identity and uniqueness, but they have not touched into the containedmeaning.

The Sixties

Land Art is a principle in contemporary art that developed in the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, as a reaction to commercialization in art. The art of Land Art abandoned museums and galleries and develops monumental projects in free space and landscapes, which in an artistic way are changing and adapting without having any negative impact on the environment. Knowing and evaluating contemporary art in practice is as important as observing and evaluating traditional art works, which is also based on the development of subtle perception of art. For this reason, this case study examines the possibility of implementing contemporary art in this case Land Arta in pedagogical work with children in Kindergarten. Land Art is, in its essence, quite suitable as an incentive for creative work for interaction with nature, the use of natural materials that are close to children, has a good effect on the psyche of the child and contains an educational ecological component. The results showed that the children who participated in this research were creatively responsive and created interesting artworks inspired by land art.

Radical Transformation

Vietnam was a French colony when the artistic and cultural influence of Paris was at its peak. Despite this, few Vietnamese ventured to France in order to establish or further their artistic education. Reasons for this anomaly include the fact that prior to the middle of the 20th century few Vietnamese left the place where they were born, and that French colonial rule restricted overseas travel for their subjects. The very few artists who went to France were from privileged backgrounds, and generally traveled either under a scholarship or in association with international exhibitions, such as the Colonial Exhibition in Paris (1931) or the 1937 World’s Fair. Artists who moved overseas for political reasons rarely returned to Vietnam, but those who did return in the first half of the 20th century contributed to a radical transformation in Vietnamese painting and sculptural practice, moving Vietnamese art into a modern international framework. Changes occurred in the aesthetic and physical appearance of art works, the way arts education was received, the manner in which art works circulated, and ultimately in the societal role of the artist (prior to colonization, Vietnamese art was generally produced within specific guilds).

Within contemporary art, it is well known that Felix Gonzalez-Torres created elegant, sparse and poetic art works. Through his use of diverse media—photography, drawing, and sculpture (created by using unusual materials such as candy, stacks of paper, or battery operated clocks) Gonzalez-Torres merged the personal and the political; the conceptual and the aesthetic. These aspects of his work have been thoroughly explored by artists, scholars, and collectors alike.

The concept of gender is an important issue that has been over-emphasized in recent years with an increasing rate of violence against human beings, is perhaps an important issue that needs to be addressed much more. The similarity of the terms, gender and sex, suggests that these two concepts are the same. The elimination of this mistake and the transformation of the position into a conscious awareness are carried out with the awareness of social responsibility with contributions in different disciplines. At this point, an evaluation can be made on art and the social function of art can be mentioned because the art is an important way of communicating collective messages through the artists by their works. In the 20th century, and especially since the second half of the century, the content of art is as important as the aesthetic appreciation and this point can be seen at the art practices which multidisciplinary approaches get to the forefront. In this paper, the way of expression of the concept of gender in contemporary art has been researched through the social function of art. The methods of this work depend on literature and artwork sample researches. And the concept of gender has been primarily addressed. This concept has been studied in terms of art works, disciplines, forms of expression, and works of artists who find meaning and overlap. And the results show that the concept of gender has found its place in contemporary arts.

The Relationship

<p>This thesis is a response to an emergent discourse on the relationship between the visual arts and the Anthropocene. The latter—the stratigraphic designation for a new geological epoch—has accrued a popularity within the contemporary art-world that is rarely afforded to a concept from the earth sciences. The uptake in Anthropocene-themed exhibitions, publications, and think-pieces reflects the concept’s promise of an art-making and art-critical methodology that may foster a revised relationship to nature in the age of climate change.   Despite the new-found fashionability of the term, this relationship between art and the Anthropocene has neither been comprehensively demonstrated, nor disproved. Consequently, the purpose of this thesis is to undertake this necessary interrogation.   Firstly, this is an engagement with the competing philosophies and intentions that have attached themselves to the Anthropocene label as it progressed from a straightforward geological statement, into a profound suite of assertions regarding the relationship of humanity to our planet. The influence of the posthumanist ecological philosopher, Timothy Morton, is a particular focus for understanding what the aesthetic theory of the Anthropocene consists of. Taken together, this theory is a promise of a new relationship with the natural world through the jettisoning of Romantic fantasies of nature in favour of an engagement with a sub-discursive, material world.   Secondly, this theory is read against ecologically conscious contemporary art works. The practices of Pierre Huyghe, Simon Starling, and Conor Clarke speak to the same concerns as the aesthetic Anthropocene. Reading these works through the lens offered by the stratigraphic concept investigates and tests the capability of the aesthetic Anthropocene for delivering its promises of an art without nature, and a new engagement with our environments.   Ultimately, the innovations of the aesthetic Anthropocene are novel, plentiful, but unconvincing. As a theory, it is beset by flaws and contradictions which undermine its applicability and critical potential. Consequently, ecologically conscious art does little to reflect the aims and aspirations of the aesthetic Anthropocene, rendering it an unhelpful tool for understanding the geological present.</p>

The Revolution

Apollo (Apollon, 1909–1917) was the third and last major Russian modernist art periodical before the revolution of 1917. Edited by the art critic and art historian Sergei Makovsky (1877–1962), and from 1911 by both Makovsky and Baron Nikolai Vrangel’ (1880–1915), the journal ran for 91 issues. Aiming to craft an ideal art periodical, Apollo continued the aesthetic program of its forerunners, the World of Art and The Golden Fleece. According to its title and editorial manifesto, the creation of art works was seen as an act of worshipping Apollo, while the principle of Apollonianism alluded to Friedrich Nietzsche’s dichotomy of the Apollonian and the Dionysian. Apollo was a consistent propagator of contemporary art trends and defined a new stage in the development of Russian modernism. The periodical was international in scope; it devoted articles to Russian and European artists and art shows and featured sections dedicated to visual arts, literature, dance, theater, and music.

Ernesto Neto's installation at the Panthéon in Paris, Leviathan Toth (2006), brings us into a semiotics of intensities that does not belong to the ‘aesthetic regime’ as described by Jacques Rancière but rather to a Diagrammatic Agency of Contemporary Art. In this case study, the latter is constructed after Deleuze and Guattari – from a politics of the Body without Organs critically and clinically identified to a Body without Image.

The aim of this paper is to offer an interpretation of two contemporary art works: James Turrell’s Roden Crater and Philip K. Smith’s Lucid Stead. They are seen as projects that may be qualified as examples of art based on the artists’ playing with light. The claim being that one of the factors that engenders a contemplative attitude on behalf of the beholder is the presence of light in relation to the artwork’s structure.
