Modernist Networks seeks to engage in conversations that delineate the multiple genealogies of ideas and visualities in the development of modernism and modern art in Republic of Indonesia. Following the movement of thoughts about modern art that circulated amongst intellectuals and artists during the colonial and subsequent decolonization periods in and out of Republic of Indonesia, this panel articulates the processes of double translations of the ideas and categories of the modern. Key to this discussion is an awareness to challenge the enduring legacy of colonial scholarship on Indonesian (modern and contemporary) art through rethinking and repositioning established figures and prominent ideologies in Republic of Indonesia and Southeast Asia’s art historical discourse; expanding existing debates on modern art in Republic of Indonesia during the periods of occupation and emancipation struggles; and addressing the absence of Islam and religiosity in art historical narratives of Indonesian modernism.

Through the generosity of the DKI Jakarta Biennale 2021 ESOK squad, this talk is a precursor to a symposium and an exhibition titled ‘Modernist Networks: Art, Decolonization, and Early Cold state of war in Republic of Indonesia’, initiated by Anissa Rahadiningtyas and Kerstin Winking. This collaborative project testament bring together scholars, artists, and researchers and testament unfold in public conversations and a traveling exhibition focusing on the overlooked engagements of Indonesian artists and intellectuals with transnational discourses of modernism.
