ABSTRACT

In this study, the main purpose is to identify the changes in the production of making artwork. According to the current time that is in line with the modern era more open globally. In the aspect of globalization, the exposure to modern art is getting wider and needs to be intensified to make a good work. In this study, the author also wants to develop an idea that is conceptually from western influences that is based on contemporary art in a new form. In other words, the author devises several new forms resulting from a combination of indigenous art, colonialism art and nationalism art that form a work that is globalism art.

INTRODUCTION 

      In this art of globalization, I want to make an artwork by using the combination of indigenous,colonialism, nationalism art and globalization to create the new concept of contemporary . The idea of my artwork is to create new concept of contemporary art that combination all task.  The Art of Globalization is an art that all of the artist produced at the same time, around the world. The production of artwork of globalization call as contemporary art. The contemporary  art is influence by the culture, technology, politic and globalization.


STYLE AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT

        “Globalization”, like the terms “modernism” and renaissance” before it has entered into the language of artists, art historians, critics, curators and all those other individuals and groups that make up the art world. And like those two historicalYu preceding categories –still indispensable within the study of contemporary art as well as in its making “globalization” carries with it three qualifications. Firstly, that the term, although specialized in its art-historical and art-practice senses, also refers to the whole organization of society beyond art. Secondly, tha although the term names forces that have shaped societies and civilizations across the globe, these originated principally in one part of it – the “west”- and have achieved dominance beyond Europe and the United States partly through centuries-long histories of western colonial and imperial conquest. Thirdly, that the meanings of the term, though now confidently expounded in scholarship, teaching and public arenas, remain uncertain

          “ Globalization”, therefore, is the best understood and most useful as an heuristic – “trial and error – analytic construct: a pratical concept containing a set of  testable hypotheses concerning thr progressive ordering of the world and its hitherto separable societies, their peoples, activities and products, into  a single system. In this context, globalization is the abstraction through which we come to envision what artistic production all over the world at the same time might look like. We can imagine all the artists of the world somehow working together to produce the art of the present: contemporary art.

Globalization can also mean progressive, where something undergoes changes to adapt and suit the taste of the current trend. We can see obvious changes like in technology where technology keep advancing to keep up with the world trend and culture. According to Peterson Institute:

“Globalization is the word used to describe the growing

interdependence of the world’s economies, cultures, and populations, brought

about by cross-border trade in goods and services, technology, and flows of

investment, people, and information.”

Nowadays, almost every fine artists and craftsmen in Malaysia uses the word ‘contemporary art’ to describe their artworks. In Oxford Dictionary, ‘contemporary’ means two or more objects or events that are occurring or has been at the same time. Or it can be used to describe things that are belonging to or occurring in the present. From the many usages of the word ‘contemporary’ in our community, I believe that the second meaning is closer to describe ‘contemporary art’. So, there, from the linguistic meaning, it means an art that are produced today. Okay, so that means that every living artist have the right to use that word. But, linguistic meaning is just the tip of the iceberg in academic sense. The formalistic meaning made up all the submerged understanding. In formalistic meaning, ‘contemporary art’ is art produced at the present period in time at least. In a sense, contemporary art is an art that is strongly connected to current day issues like feminism, multiculturalism, globalization, engineering, and awareness. It is a new form of art, more advanced than Modernism or Post-Modernism.

Based on that, the author uses a new concept in the production of works, either two -dimensional or 3 -dimensional visual works. For this study, the author combines this work into one form which is a work that shows contemporary art from indigenous art, colonial art, nationalism art and globalization art. The combination of these four will result in a new work that is more dominant to modern art today.


OBJECTIVES

·         To creating  a new concept in the work of indigenous art, colonialism art and nationalism that brings the approach of contemporary art in a globalism

·          To show the malay identity  narrative fishermen in socio –economics.
