Improving the Quality of Urban Lives through Public Art in Taman Suropati, Jakarta

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science

A successful public space requires good infrastructures and atmosphere so that it can successfully invite and engage its users in various activities. The placement of public art in a city park may stimulate and invite active contacts rather than just passive observation, thereby promoting social interaction. The purpose of this study is to discuss the use public art as well as its role in improving social interaction in public space. The aesthetic quality in a work of art can transmit impulses resulting particular suggestions in human's imaginative life and even attract activities that in turn create a great public space that sustains stronger communities. As a case study is public art in Taman Suropati, Menteng, Jakarta, which is known as the first garden city in Indonesia. In 1984, six statues from six pioneer countries of ASEAN were placed in this garden. This garden functions not only as a green open space and a recreational area for nearby residents but also as a place for some art communities to meet and hold their activities. The phenomena of a park that enhances community's activities in Taman Suropati becomes the focus for the study especially how the idea of public art is initiated, sustained, and affected urban lives. This study also suggests some possibilities of improving urban life's quality by using public art located at public spaces as the medium.

Expression and Visual Narration of The Jakarta

2020

Marunda batik is a centre originating from the empowerment of residents affected by relocation in the Marunda flat in North Jakarta. The identity of Marunda motif finally become an artwork with visual expressions and narratives in the perspective of seeing the nature and environment around Jakarta. Coastal expressions because they are geographically close to the coast, because the Marunda people are not born of coastal culture. This method uses qualitative methods and field exploration, which emphasizes the findings of data in the field holistically. Focused on batik which tells the story because this batik can respond situationally, grow and develop in the middle of a tightly competing industry but can find its own character. We use cultural theory as an approach to analyse visual expressions and narratives on Marunda batik because of the expression of the constituent factors, such as points, lines, fields, colours and textures that form a series of stories.

Pop Up Cafe as a Creative Generator in Jakarta

ComTech: Computer, Mathematics and Engineering Applications, 2015

The government has a strong role to make plans and shape the city. The planning establishment by the government is based on capital-intensive strategic actions, so they can shape the urban spaces according to acertain set of values. These values are made clearly in the patterns of resource consumption. However, they often create a hierarchical gap between the people and the communities. In the city, the economy becomes the basis of how the urban spaces are shaped and created. New economic activities often have the impact in degrading the quality of the spaces. As a result, the city will lose its attractions, and people feel alienated and they become aesthetically unpleasant. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the interaction and appreciation of creative users and the citizens of the city towards the urban spaces, and how they will encourage endless collaboration amongst local citizens to create thoughtful and meaningful designs for the public. The discussion and arguments will ...

Audience of Art in Indonesia: New Urban Society

The study of audiences has attracted my interest over the last few years. Although the audience plays an important role in the development of performance, it has generally received little attention in discussion of the history of Indonesian performing arts, apart from journalistic accounts, which tend to represent without research or discussion with them the opinions of audience members concerning the performance. My study of the audience began with research on Teater Garasi's 'Stone Time' (Waktu Batu) in Yogyakarta that sought to compare how the audience was represented in the local mass media with the comments of audience members themselves about the performance they had observed . 1 That preliminary study prompted me to reassess the nature of the arts audience in Indonesia, especially in the post-1998 reformation period. The change of political climate not only had a strong effect on the freedom of expression of artists as creators, but also influenced audience reception of the works created during the period. Apart from the radical political changes, the influence of the economic situation along with the increasing impact of global culture represent other factors directly altering the relationship of audiences with arts spaces as well as with the artists.

Asian Research Journal of Arts & Social Sciences

The space for public discourse and contemporary literature has brought the people today living in a connected world. This is a condition triggered by technological developments, especially in the field of communication technology and information characterized by three developmental directions: convergence, portability, personalization.

The results of this study indicated that the position and direction of the visual activism development in Indonesia involve individuals and groups with different social backgrounds, movement ideologies, approach methods, patterns, intervention areas, and change objectives. The visual industry is not born and created from the process of creativity but is born of the process of...

Introduction: Locating Desires—Screens and Urban Culture in Asia: Notes on the Special Issue by John Nguyet Erni (Guest Editor)

Digital LED billboards, while having been around for more than ten years as a functional media format, are rapidly becoming major public media objects/spaces/surfaces, transforming the face of urbanity as we know it. Their main material characteristics include: high brightness, high resolution, mounted or mobile, weather and dust resistant, displaying multiple and looped (animated) messages in a shared surface, etc. They are typically delivered by large media companies (e.g., JCDecaux) who own both the hardware and software of networked screens. In terms of public screens as spectacles, the mode of attention engendered by them vary from captivated attention (e.g., in a subway car or in a lift), directive attention (e.g., in a railway depot or an airport), or simply random view. Their materiality, economic and technical operation, and modes of spectacle-making are only some of the fundamental aspects of public screens. As they proliferate, public screens have deep and wide-ranging implications for urban everyday life, and public culture at large.

The Secrets Behind the Making of a Beautiful City: Jakarta

Every environmental value requires its antithesis for defini- tion. Home would be meaningless without journey, the coun- tryside requires its counter-image the city and vice versa.(1) And beauty needs the beast in order to exist in our minds. According to the geographer and philosopher Yi-Fu Tuan, nature has long been regarded as the antithesis of the human domain, the city. But its position is constantly chang- ing. Neolithic and archaic societies regarded beauty and the secrecy of their gardens and village as the antithesis of the profane wilderness outside. In many societies by the middle of the 19th century, the split between city and nature had occurred resulting in the creation of an Eden-like “middle landscape.” Since then, this specific concept transforms landscape into a new city between urban sprawl as the “true wilderness” on one side and the “treated wilderness” of the recreational nature on the other. Hence reformulating from Tuan’s anatomy of the wilderness, this new c...
