The book discusses the close interrelationships between politics and aesthetics in the Indonesian art of the contemporaneity. The art production in thematic and formal plurality establishes a specificity of its own that emancipates form the dynamic processes of colonial and postcolonial structures of power. Spielmann discusses in particular Indonesian arts of the present that emerge from syncretistic mixing of ethnic elements and connect these to cultural and religious references in narrative and visual appropriations. The book also explores how this art is influenced by the West and influences the West and thereby contributes to issues of nation building and identity. By discussing critically societal, religious and political matters, the contemporary arts newly interpret traditional techniques and materials. In sculpture, installation, mixed media, street art, photography, and video and performances, we find that batik, woodcut, dance and especially the Javanese shadow puppet theatre are combined with comic and manga, graffiti and advertisement, and with elements of pop culture. Spielmann in her study discusses the status and significance of Indonesian contemporary art that since the 1990s increasingly participates in art events in the Asia-Pacific region and worldwide contributes to biennales, auctions, art fairs and international exhibitions. These initiatives are fueled by curators, galleries, alternative art projects and collectors and have fundamentally changed the worldwide perspective towards an Asian context and have enhanced the market value. From this position, as the book concludes, Indonesian art gains its global relevance in the present. German description: In der indonesischen Kunst der Gegenwart sind Politik und Asthetik aufs Engste verbunden. Die Kunstproduktion etabliert in ihrer thematischen und formalen Pluralitat eine Eigenstandigkeit, die aus dem bis heute andauernden dynamischen Prozess der Abarbeitung an kolonialen und postkolonialen Herrschaftsstrukturen hervorgeht. Yvonne Spielmann befasst sich in ihrem Buch mit indonesischer Gegenwartskunst, die aus synkretistischen Mischungen javanischer, malaiischer und chinesischer Elemente hervorgeht und diese mit dem Hinduismus, Buddhismus und dem Islam in narrativen und visuellen Anlehnungen verbindet. Ausserdem ist diese Kunst gepragt von Einflussen des Westens und von Einflussen auf den Westen, der Geschichte des Kolonialismus und der Herausbildung von Nationalitat und Identitat. In Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen gesellschafts- und religionskritischen, sozialen und politischen Themen werden traditionelle Techniken und Materialien neu interpretiert. Batik, Holzschnitzerei, Tanz und vor allem das javanische Schattenpuppentheater werden mit Comic und Manga, mit Graffiti und Werbung, mit Elementen der Popkultur in der Skulptur, der Installation, den Mixed Media, der Street Art und Fotografie, im Video sowie in der Performance kombiniert. Yvonne Spielmann diskutiert in ihrer Studie den Stellenwert indonesischer Kunst der Gegenwart, die seit den 1990er Jahren zunehmend an Kunstereignissen im asiatisch-pazifischen Raum und weltweit an Biennalen, Auktionen, Messen und internationalen Ausstellungen mit wachsendem Erfolg beteiligt ist. Diese Initiativen von Kuratoren, Galerien, alternativen Kunstprojekten und Sammlern verandern die weltweite Perspektive hin zu einem asiatisch konnotierten Umfeld und steigern den Marktwert. Aus dieser Position heraus gewinnt die indonesische Kunst ihre globale Relevanz in der Gegenwart.
