From Sudjojono's idealistic articulations of the real as Indonesian nationalist and revolutionary aesthetic in the mid-20th century, the exhibition traces changes and continuities in ideas, polemics and practices in artistic representations of the real through to the works of fourteen contemporary Indonesian artists in the last decade. No longer seen merely as a visual style in artistic representation but instead as enduring values and attitudes, the exhibition addresses ideas and discourse on the real by continually questioning the function of the artist in society and what constitutes the real as seen by them.
Artist biographies are provided in the present catalogue.
