When German national Claudia Seise studied at the Yogyakarta fine arts school Institut Seni Indonesia in 2005, she experienced the dynamic contemporary art scene there firsthand. She was so fascinated by it that she returned to Indonesia from her homeland in 2008 to look at the cultural scene more closely. The result of her exploration was recently published in “One Year on the Scene: Contemporary Art in Indonesia.”
The book offers valuable insight into Yogyakarta’s vibrant art community, including its background and problems.
Color photographs of gallery artworks and exhibitions emphasize the diversity of the province’s creative culture.
