| Summary: | This course covers the essential aspects of studies in contemporary Malaysian whose development emerged from the modern Malaysian art which was introduced during the British colonization. Consequently the process of westernization ensued and became embedded in local visual art scene for more than five decades resulting in the marginalization of traditional art which once was central in traditional Malay society. However, in the post-colonial period, due to its overarching aesthetic appeal, the appropriation and transformation of tradition, among others, elicit the emergence
of contemporary Malaysian art which since the 1990s the art scenarios underwent a constant flux and fragmentations specifically in the explorations of post-modernism, post-colonialism and globalization era. Discussions on the content, context and forms of contemporary Malaysian art under these different eras will be central in this course. |
