Junk-Food Art, A Methode of Art and Creation Development

By: Andrik Purwasito, Indonesian artist

Prolog
Vision is the most fundamental in creation of art, when the artist tries to expresse his idea from the event of day life. What will be presented in artwork? In the same the same time the art work is there are expectations.
Starting in this point de vue, I think that all forms, the lines, and every elements in art, colour, space, balance, theme and metafor, in visual art, normally we find the spirit of interieor, ideas and spirituality.

Like Einstein, when he tries to make a nuclear, the formulas and ingredients must be ready. It means that the resource must be complete, and all elements and components for making a boom, like technology and skill, Methode and technique, are very important things. This is related with tallens, knowledge and perspective pragmatic, like social, economy, politics and culture. Like Aristotle, the artist build the world with wisdom, but very visual. Artist must be a rich person but in ideal concept, experiences, la vie interieur, strong in methodology and use commonsense in a good way.
Like a bussiness man, the artist some time must know very well about market. The market is like a field of fighting; therefore, artist must be ready to fight with any body. As we know that, the artist production was sold in Gallery, free market, etc for gaining many dollars. It means, paintings is correlated with the market.
What the meaning of those explanations, firstly we find that the life of artist seemly deep on the market, the hegemony of curators, and sometimes surrender with the gallery decision. These situations operate the law of market, demand and supply. In other word we are can not avoid from the game of market, and be fine peacefully with it and think the capitalism is friend..
Finally, market is now hegemony our life one hand and in the other hand market learn us for fights, and learn us for not against the market. Market is emerge anywhere, supermarket, Indomarket, hypermarket, etc.

JUNK-FOOD ART
The phenomena and market law, show us that in front of our face is the junk-food phenomenon. The junk-food spread to the everyday life, like laundry, internet, hand-phone, digitalized, make the function of man be eliminated for pragmatic need.
In visual art contemporary, the same plague going to the visual world. The Junk-food means digitalized is choice like multimedia technique. I say this is all right choice.
Why I say that. In my opinion, because the cultural dynamic going to the profane life. The spirituality values and the life norms goes to the global life style and cultural homogenization.
This situation, make the artist must be adopted to the new media and contemporary spirit. In other word, the visual art change the technique and the old ideology of visual art, to the new media.
I think the new media and the new ideology are the characteristic of contemporary art. So, new technology like digitalization, the use of printing, LCD, spray system, and various of materials, are used in this new era. The old technique is step by step leaved and the new ideology and technique em erge.
This is according to the dynamic and development of contemporary life, is pragmatic, profane, fast and instant. In art as we know that, the pragmatic means there are minimalization of space and form, worship satiric vision, dramatic and extreme for describes the fact of everyday life.
Finally, we propose the question, what is art contemporary? The answer is any thing to do. Do for society, do for art itself, do for humanism, do for market and so nothing to do. But I notice that the element vital of art contemporary is reductionism and the grand of idea and size. It means, like the development of the life, minimalism of car and house but grandiose of space of market, become supermarket, hypermarket.
In visual art, minimalism of form, pattern, figure and ideas, and grandiose of canvas size, simplicity of ideas, this is called art contemporary. I make formula of it, with the three S, spontaneous, spot and super. So, it means spontaneous or instant in technique, spot in visual and super in ideas and size. I called as “Junk-food Art.”

Epilog
I believe that is just mode or trend provisional. But when this is finished? Like booming of the world economy and the rupture of capitalism, the Junk-food Art has its own life.
My stand in this contemporary era, I just follow the word of our ancestor, ajur-ajer (Javanese philosophy: means flexible and adaptable), without pawn of ideas, prisoner of honesty but consistence in the choice of ideology for art production. “Don’t be stopped learning by doing.”
Thanks you, and hope this paper is benefit and useful.
