Art practice in Indonesia is growing rapidly in recent times. Art studies content is no longer limited to the field of arts, but reaches non-art areas. Various non-artistic aspects and perspectives are also the main considerations in artistic practice. Awareness of various factors, such as: economy, religion, technology, law, gender, education, politics, health, etc., becomes a contextual stimulation in a work (textual). Openness of views on art is not only seen in the condition that it changes from supporting aspects to become the main perspective.
This does not only happen and has an impact on the artistic community, but also has a big influence on the academic community. The trend or trend of academic perspectives which discourse art from the viewpoints of various disciplines has also become a trend of academics lately. From this, it has been manifested that art, both in the field of practice and in studies, has undergone significant development with non-artistic considerations in analyzing and creating works of art.
“Arts and Beyond” will discuss specifically about:
Correlation between multidisciplinary and art,
Art practices that do not limit themselves to mere artistic fields, but also reach non-artistic areas,
The trend / trend of academic perspectives which discourse art from the viewpoints of various disciplines,
Openness of view to art that does not only refer to practice as the main perspective,
Art friction with other perspectives in discussing art.
Starting from this matter, we have attempted to explore the perspective landscape which has become a topic of discussion in various artistic practices and discussions on art. Arts and Beyond, is our offer to discuss textual and contextual issues that occur in the field of practice and study.
