Peran Krama Bali Kaanggen Ngwangun Pariwisata Bali Mangkin lan Selanturnyane + (We all know how the condition of Bali tour … We all know how the condition of Bali tourism is after the Covid-19 pandemic. Tourists are not allowed to go to Bali so that Covid-19 virus does not spike again. This causes Bali tourism to decline. Balinese people who work in the tourism sector do not get jobs. The Bali government has issued a policy that is used to suppress the spread of the Corona Virus. One of the policies is the implementation of restrictions on community activities or what is known as PPKM (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat). This causes the spread of Covid-19 to decrease. Because the government already has efforts to reduce the spread of the Corona Virus, we as the next generation can help the government to improve Bali tourism. There are many procedures that can be used to improve Balinese tourism. The first way is to promote Balinese tourist destinations using social media. This requires the participation of the Balinese people. Those who like to upload photos while on vacation to tourist destinations in Bali can also help develop and improve Bali tourism. Indonesia has a website that is used to promote Indonesian tourism. Second, the public can help provide tourist destinations in accordance with health protocols related to government policies, as well as maintaining the cleanliness of tourism places. This causes a sense of security. Third, Bali has many cultural works that are popular abroad, for example, such as carvings, paintings, sculptures, and so on. Maybe Balinese artists can provide counseling to the younger generation on how to make art. This can foster a sense of love for domestic products and can encourage Balinese cultural works with the younger generation.Well, that's a little bit about the procedure to restore Bali tourism during the pandemic. We should always remember our identity as Balinese people, namely to develop Balinese culture.eople, namely to develop Balinese culture.)

It has been two years since the Covid-19 virus has attacked our beloved earth. Several policies have been implemented. However, Bali tourism has not been able to return to normal. We as citizens, especially as young Balinese, should provide and carry out creative efforts that can stimulate tourism in Bali.In this era of globalization, everything is digital and sophisticated. We can use this advanced technological development as a tool to generate tourism in Bali. One of the creative businesses that can generate tourism in Bali is an application called BALI MELALI. This application uses technology in the form of VR or Virtual Reality. In the BALI MELALI application, it displays tourism destinations in Bali. If you use this VR technology, tourists or anyone who has downloaded the BALI MELALI application can see the tourism places that we want. Using this VR, tourism destinations in Bali can be seen for real, this can foster a sense of longing for Bali and cause tourists to want to come again to Bali.In the BALI MELALI application, it not only displays well-known tourism destinations, but should also display places that are not widely known. In Bali, there are actually many tourist destinations that are not well known. If you only show places like Kuta Beach, Pandawa Beach, many tourists will already know. That's why in this application it is very good if it shows places that are not known by many people. Not only that, the BALI MELALI application does not only display virtual or images, but can be filled with sounds that are in that place. For example at Candikuning Waterfall, if we travel to waterfalls, there are definitely sounds like the sound of gurgling water, the sound of trees blowing by the wind, the sound of birds and so on.The presence of images and sounds in the BALI MELALI ibi application can certainly cause longing from tourists and travel to Bali.

Wayan Sila + (“The very first night I slept over at my n … “The very first night I slept over at my new studio an owl flew into the garden. It wasn’t a coincidence that I noticed it perched in a tree,” says Balinese artist Wayan Sila. “This was aspecial experience and powerful omen. A gift from the Gods to me.”The owl is much revered by indigenous cultures and in folklore around the world as aguardian spirit, as well as a wise creature capable of extraordinary sight. Balinesemythology reveals that if an owl visits a family compound while a female member ispregnant this is indeed a positive sign. Burung Hantu literally translates from bahasaIndonesia into the English language as ghost bird; or the owl, the mysterious bird of thenight.“I have a unique connection with owls. It is a potent image that resonates with my heart. Iwas intuitively led to draw the owl and then I began to include it in my works. It has nowmanifested into a personal symbolic image, equivalent to the Barong. The owl alsoencourages me to reflect on the joy that I derive from my family life,” says Wayan.Born in Ubud, 1970, Wayan Silawasinspired by his grandfather, well known local artistWayan Barwa. From an early age he regularly visited Barwa’sstudio and gallery,surrounded by the paintings of his Balinese heritage, this was the perfect scenario for achild to learn to draw and paint.Wayan soon became adept in the “Ubud Style” of modern traditional Balinese painting. Inthe evolution of Balinese painting during the last century, from its origins of the ClassicalKamasan style that concerned teachings from the Hindu Epics, each village then began tocreate their own distinctive style.The Ubud style moved away from the religious and began to be characterized bynarratives that involve daily village life and depictions of rural and environmentallandscapes. The artists from Ubud were quick to adopt western influences in the 1930’s,depth of field, shades of color, localized narratives and the development of the humanfigure. The Kamasan style was originally a collective work and never signed by anindividual. The new personalized and expressive form of Balinese painting has its rootsfirmly entrenched here in Ubud.Wayan’s canvases are beautifully composed and resound with an overwhelming sense ofbalance and harmony. His highly detailed works are first sketched in pencil then outlinedin black Chinese ink, finally they are rendered in acrylic paint with a fine kaus bamboo, asmall piece of bamboo crafted with a tiny point to apply the medium. A large canvas, 100 x80 cms, may take up to six months to complete. “In 1997 I was inspired to include owls in my compositions after seeing a wonderful sketch by a Japanese child.”Wayan’s relationship with the burung hantu then activated an endearing association withthe people of Japan, to whom the owl is symbolic of happiness. He first visited Japan in2002 and his premiere solo exhibition there was in 1998. Every year since then Wayan has enjoyed the privilege of exhibiting work in galleries, department stores, even in theIndonesian Consulate in Tokyo. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions in Japan, andnumerous other exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta, Spain and also at the prestigious Agung RaiMuseum of Art in Ubud.“It’s an honor for me to be invited on intercultural exchange programs teaching youngJapanese students traditional Balinese painting techniques. I do this each year when I visitJapan.” Wayan has since developed a healthy market for his works there and continues toell to the Japanese tourists who often visit his Ubud studio/gallery.Wayan Sila, acrylic on Canvas, 2012,45x 60cm.Wayan SilaGarden + Bale studio of Wayan Sila.Wayan Sila. 2012, chinese ink +acrylic on canvas, 60x80cm.Wayan’s cooperative works with Japanese poet Yoko Jatiasih have been the focus of two books. They initiallycollaborated in 1998 to create music and poetry for his paintings. In 2004 their first book “Kata Kata” Echoes From TheWoods, and then in 2010 “Pelan Pelan” were published.Browsing through these books, the creative synergy between the two is easy to recognize. Yoko’s short poems, no morethan 6 lines, resonate with an uncomplicated intelligence. Upon the opposing page to the text are Wayan’scomplimentary images created especially to accompany each poem.As you contemplate the words essence, as well as study Wayan’s images, the mysterious bird of the nights’full roundeyes are firmly transfixed upon you. The fusion of words along with the images perplex the imagination, and then defyyou to believe their medium is the owl’s silent and alluring gaze.In 2011 Wayan relocated to his new studio gallery in Jalan Bisma in Ubud. Journey 400 meters along Jalan Bisma until theroadside urban development gives way to the effervescence of the padis. Down on the right hand side nestled in thesawah you will find his small abode. Look for the sign on the road then follow the narrow path that divides the greenswaying fields to his studio/gallery encircled by the bamboo fence.Wayan has created a personal space that reflects the elements that enrich and sustain him. Situated in the middle of theyard he has built a bamboo bale which functions as his studio, yet also as a place of quiet retreat. The surroundinggarden is abundant with organic vegetables, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, ornamental shrubs and flowers. Indeed, Wayanhas created his special own oasis.As you enter his two Bali dogs are quick to offer enthusiastic toothy greetings. The verdant vegetation is soothing andinviting. I discover two rabbits, four exotic birds and frogs and snakes frequent visitors, so Wayan tells me. Stonecarvings covered with brilliant green moss hide among the foliage, shrines and small Hindu temples are adorned withofferings and the sweet sent of burning incense seduces the senses. An outhouse serves as a simple kitchen and two rooms contain Wayan’s gallery painting collection and books for sale.When we observe Wayan’s paintings we enter into a beautiful and extraordinarily tranquil world. His owls’ peer outfrom within forests and lush scenes, their big eyes possess a magnetic pull and communicate a language that isdeciphered in our hearts. Wayan Sila is a painter of immense sensitivity and his works are vehicles of healing qualities and love.re vehicles of healing qualities and love.)
I Nyoman Popo Priyatna Danes + (“What the modern architecture is still try … “What the modern architecture is still trying to achieve today has been implemented in the traditional Balinese architecture for centuries now, where the concepts of energy conservation and environmental preservation are amongst the fundamental elements in every design.” – Popo DanesFrom private homes and restaurants to starred hotels and luxury resorts, the renowned Balinese architect Nyoman Popo Danes is known for his exemplary designs that showcase a distinct flair of being in harmony with the local culture and nature. This green-conscientious architect always integrates eco-friendly aspects of Bali’s traditional architecture into his designs.“While some architects are very focused on making their buildings look stunning from the outside, my main concern has always been the functionality of each aspect of the building. I always make sure that my designs are in harmony with their natural surroundings; that each room has a function; that a strong connection between the architecture, landscape, and interior is established. I don’t care if my architecture is not photogenic, as long as it serves its function well.”As an international destination, Bali attracts people from all corners of the world with its uniqueness. Therefore, Popo believes that every building on the island needs to be able to help these people feel that they are in Bali. “When you travel, you want to be immersed in the local atmosphere. In Bali, a building should exude the feeling of locality so when you enter it, you know you’re not in Jakarta, Hong Kong, or anywhere else.”The works of the two-time ASEAN Energy Award winner (in the category of Best Practice in Tropical Architecture) are known as some of the most striking in design, functionality, and environmental consciousness. Air conditioners take up the biggest energy consumption in a building, and Popo’s eco-friendly creations have the ability to ‘communicate’ with nature to lessen energy consumption through the overuse of air conditioners.“I create buildings that have open pavilions (just like in typical Balinese buildings) to allow breeze to blow in, and I don’t put too many glass windows. Then again, air circulation or heat is not the only reason why air conditioners are overused. People also tend to turn their air conditioners on to escape from the noise pollution outside their buildings. When all windows and doors are shut, it’s quiet inside. This is where nature steps in. Towering trees can be a great noise filter, and they also serve as a fresh, cool air provider.”From Indonesia to India and China to the Philippines, most of Popo’s architecture projects involve challenging landscapes. “It’s never easy. A lot of projects i’ve been doing so far (especially for luxury resorts) involve slanted soil, hilly surfaces and everything else not flat. Of course I can always take the easy job; for example in Bali, I get so many offers to design a building on a flat surface. The thing is, in order for me to build it, I have to get rid of a rice field. I will never build anything on a rice field. Rice field is a symbol of prosperity for the Balinese, and is home to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”e to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”)

Traffic jams arise because the volume of motorized vehicles is not proportional to the volume of the road. The number of motorized vehicles and cars increases every day. As a result, cars, public transportation and motorbikes pile up on the streets, traffic jams occur. Congestion can also slow down the performance of people who are stuck in traffic jams. Workers will be late arriving at work and students will arrive late at school. This especially happens to people who choose to use private transportation rather than public transportation. Traffic jams occur because too many people use motorized vehicles or cars and also because many road users do not comply with traffic regulations. On this occasion I would like to invite you to overcome traffic jams in Bali. If we cannot overcome them, at least we can reduce traffic jams in Bali. There are 2 main things we can do to reduce congestion. First, use public transportation, don't use private vehicles, using public transportation can reduce the volume of vehicles on the road. In the end, traffic jams will be reduced. Second, get used to walking if the distance is not too far. This method is simple but difficult to do. Even though walking is healthy, and by walking we are contributing to reducing traffic jams in Bali. I am sure that by taking these 2 actions traffic jams in Bali can be reduced. However, the Bali Government is expected to improve the comfort and safety of public transportation. I am sure that if public transportation is safe and comfortable, there will be more passengers. Finally, the number of private transportation users will decrease by itself. This is all I can say, hopefully it is useful for all of us. Sorry if there are wrong words and actions. For your attention I would like to thank. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OMk. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OM)

Bali, our beloved homeland, faces a number of issues that require urgent attention from our future leaders.As we prepare to choose new leaders, it's crucial to consider pressing issues that demand immediate solutions. Among the various problems at hand, some prominent issues that need immediate attention from Bali's future leaders are:Firstly, the environment and sustainability. Bali, with its natural beauty, is under significant pressure due to rapid growth. Conservation of the environment and protection of natural resources are crucial to prevent further damage to the island. Future leaders must have a clear vision to preserve Bali's natural beauty while also managing sustainable growth.Secondly, adequate infrastructure. Despite Bali's status as a popular tourist destination, there's a need for better infrastructure to support economic growth and everyday activities of the people. Effective leaders should prioritize the development of suitable infrastructure without compromising environmental preservation.Thirdly, social welfare. There exist disparities in Bali that need to be addressed. Improving access to education, focusing on public health, and increasing job opportunities with fair wages should be the primary focus of future leaders. Even social welfare will form a strong foundation for Bali's progress.Fourthly, transparency and accountability in governance. It's essential for leaders to build transparent and accountable governance. The community should have complete trust in their leaders and feel heard in the decision-making process.Fellow citizens, this election isn't just about selecting leaders but about choosing leaders with a clear vision, strong commitment, and the ability to address pressing issues. Let's choose leaders who can lead Bali towards a better future, one that is fair and sustainable for us all.Thank you."r and sustainable for us all. Thank you.")

She completed more than two years of fieldwork research in the village of Batuan on the island of Bali. Working in the same village that was studied in the 1930s by Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson, she focused on the interconnections between different Balinese art forms and how and why such forms have changed through time. She investigated the effects of economic development and tourism on Balinese artistic endeavor.The first book from the research in Batuan, Images of Power: Balinese Paintings Made for Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead, was published in January 1995 (University of Hawaii Press).

It is, however, during times of difficulty when good souls shine bright. The silver lining of the pandemic has been witnessing the wholehearted efforts of individuals and organisations who have stepped up to support and help the, often newly, vulnerable communities, even when faced with their own difficulties.From food donations to education programs, the list of goodwill initiatives on the island has been heartwarming to say the least; in reality many would have suffered gravely without such community efforts.One creative initiative changed the dynamic. Made Janur Yasa is a restaurateur, a partner in the unique vegan restaurant Moksa in Ubud. In May 2020, as Bali was in the depths of the pandemic lull, Janur began a program called Plastic for Rice, a barter system that encouraged locals to trade in collected plastic for rice. In an interview with NOW! Bali when the program started, he says that he remembered how villagers used to barter in the early days, rice for sea salt, farm to sea. He said that this gave people spirit, making sure that people don’t get used to receiving without working.Through this plastic for rice system, Janur provided a double solution: cleaning littered plastic in the environment; as well as providing much-needed sustenance to those in need, especially in rural areas.The program started in Banjar Jangkahan and Banjar Penulisan, Batuaji Village, Tabanan, the regency where Janur comes from. It was set up as prototype, a system to be replicated in other villages… and it was.Three months later, Plastic for Rice became Plastic Exchange. In that time, as reported in August 2020, the movement had spread to 44 banjars and 1,345 households.But beyond that it had evolved beyond a simple ‘system’, and became a movement. It was adopted by other charitable organisations as a solution to provide food fairly in rural communities; it became a vehicle for environmental education, to teach the effects of plastic but also the value of waste. It has allowed people to feel empowered, useful, independent. It has seen new leaders being born.Today, Plastic Exchange is found in over 200 villages across Bali, has collected 50.000+ kg of plastic and distributed 55.000+ kg of rice."astic and distributed 55.000+ kg of rice.")

Louis believes that this has a lot to do with the fact that the Indonesian people are proud of their country. When Louis travels through Bali to take pictures for his paintings, the local people enjoy that. Meanwhile, it is not special for them.

When Louis paints Balinese people, he tries to show them how beautiful and rich their culture is, how beautiful they are themselves.

Bali, which usually doesn't stop bringing in rupiah coffers to support its people's economy, is now deserted.A few months after the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside, there was a lot of buzz in the social media about the hashtag #WorkFromBali. Bali, as the most popular tourist attraction in Indonesia, is slowly starting to rise from the slump of the COVID-19 pandemic.Most Indonesian people consider Bali as an elite tourist destination, because the majority of visitors are foreign tourists. Not infrequently Indonesian people also think that the price of admission to tourism and the price of food at the place to eat is also high (by the standards of foreign tourists).Seeing the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic which is still uncertain, it is better for the Bali government to start moving to carry out "Rebranding Bali" for domestic tourists. Because they are considered the safest and most sustainable, to keep the economy in Bali alive and spinning.There are several ways that the Balinese government can do to invite local and domestic tourists to visit Bali:1. Ensure that Bali is a safe place during the Covid-19 pandemic, by showing that all frontline Bali tourism has been vaccinated and maintaining proper health protocols;2. Invite influencers to advertise Bali. The hashtag #WorkFromBali seems to be very good and powerful to be echoed again;3. Recalculate the highest price specifically for local and domestic tourists, such as the price of tourist entrance tickets, lodging prices, food prices, and so on, by adjusting the socio-economic conditions of the Indonesian people.4. Provide understanding and training for the frontline Bali tourism, to treat local and domestic tourists in the same way as treating foreign tourists.Hopefully Bali's economy will get better.

Before that, let us pray to the presence of Almighty God. Thanks to Him, we can gather here with happiness at the Bali Public Participation Wikithon with orations, which carries the theme, Election 2024: what are the most urgent problems to be addressed by Bali's prospective leaders ? Hopefully events like this can be held frequently to develop a threatening Bali.Happy guests, as we know, Bali is known as the island of a thousand temples with its very beautiful environment, which is often visited by foreign tourists, because Bali is one of the focuses of tourism in Indonesia. This is what drives many foreign tourists to come to Bali. Even though Bali is a tourist destination, this is not the main topic of discussion, but there are problems that have a significant impact on Bali. As we know, this so-called era of destruction, if we talk about the problems in Bali, will cause Bali to collapse. Unfortunately, the problems in Bali have not received treatment that is useful for the island of Bali.Happy guests, if you look at life now it is certainly different from previous life, especially with the problems, the most important problem is related to the environment and land of the island of Bali which has been built up and used as a tourist attraction, this is what will make the island of Bali In terms of land and environment, it will become increasingly narrow, if all the land and environment in Bali is made into a tourist attraction, where will we (humans), animals and others live and live our daily lives? Talking about the land environment that has been converted into a tourist spot, of course there are many daily activities carried out to produce plastic waste for society, this is what will become Bali's next problem. The existence of rubbish in Bali is very sad and gets very little attention, this is what creates big dangers, for example: floods, dengue fever and others. Moreover, as has recently been reported, the rubbish bins or Suwung landfills in Bali are very full and cause fires, giving rise to smoke pollution which causes disease. Are we all willing to live and do activities in dirty places? Of course, many of you are reluctant to live in a dirty place. Happy attendees, if I conclude it is related to the problems in Bali, so that Balinese leaders can provide solutions related to problems: the transfer of land or the environment to become tourist attractions and the rampant waste which has not received special attention from the government. Based on these problems, if we don't work together from now on as the front guard, it is certain that the island of Bali will gradually collapse. The island of Bali, which has been nicknamed a thousand temples, will lose its sanctity. Based on these problems, my hope is that the elected leader of Bali 2024 will be able to find a solution so that the Balinese people can implement the noble values that exist in Bali, namely TRI HITA KARANA, because these problems are related. with the TRI HITA KARANA value, so that Bali can return to the way it was before.Happy guests, that is the speech I can deliver, I hope you all are aware of the current condition of Bali.re aware of the current condition of Bali.)

And for the 2024 Leader Candidates to be honest about the road and development assistance, so that it doesn't happen that the funds are disbursed but the roads and construction are not completed, let alone non-existent? Don't prospective leaders feel sorry when they see their people earning a living through damaged roads? On a rocking bridge to pass east to west over rivers and seas? there are also those who cannot leave the village because the roads are damaged but in the city the roads are good. However, there are also damaged roads in the city, which makes it difficult for large trucks to pass and causes traffic jams.

This is a behavior that includes teenagers as the main actors.Remember, the job of teenagers is not only to decorate and take selfies in beautiful places, but no one pays attention to the rubbish in front of them, which causes disasters such as landslides, floods, pollution and others.So that we are not exposed to danger, we should throw rubbish in the trash, we should not throw rubbish in the surrounding environment such as rivers, roads, sewers, etc. Come on, let's not throw rubbish carelessly so that the surrounding environment remains beautiful and sustainable!

She was also heavily involved in the psychoanalyst scene, and was interested in integrating and harmonising the self through the process of writing. Therefore it is no surprise that she idealised the idyllic island of Bali—a quiet refuge in which man lived in harmony with his universe....In 1955, Anaïs first took LSD under the guidance of Aldous Huxley and wrote a beautifully evocative description of her visions and subconscious landscape which included images of Javanese temples, Balinese music, symbolic dance gestures before finally finishing with the conclusion, “Ah, I cannot capture the secret of life with WORDS.” She was beginning to reveal what her soul desired deep down—for Anaïs, utopia was a state of mind in which the artist had access to the world of dreams. Perhaps this is why she fell in love with the mysticism and art of Bali. In her final journal (volume 7 of her diaries) she finished with a reflection on her trip to this island, complete with magical descriptions of sacred cremations, opulent gardens, temple dances, Wayang shadow puppets, natural-material bungalows used as hotels, the haunting music, and the sophisticated and gentle ways of the Balinese people."d and gentle ways of the Balinese people.")

Dutch-born Indonesian painter who lived on Bali.Smit was the third of eight children of a trader in cheese and confectionery in Zaandam. His family moved in 1924 to Rotterdam, where Smit eventually studied graphic design at the Academy of Arts. In his youth he was most inspired by the work of three artists named Paul (Signac, Gauguin and Cézanne). In 1938 he joined the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army. After three months he was sent to the Dutch East Indies , where he worked as a lithographer for the Dutch army's Topographical Service in Batavia, engraving relief maps of the archipelago. Etching Balinese mountains onto maps ignited his desire to one day go to Bali.In early 1942 Smit was transferred to the infantry in East Java, but was soon captured by the invading Japanese forces. He spent three and a half years in forced labor camps building roads, bridges, and railways on the Burma Railway in Thailand, and Burma. After the Japanese capitulation in August 1945, Smit convalesced in Bangkok until January 1946. After being stationed in Denpasar, Bali as a staff writer for the infantry, he returned to the Topographical Service in Batavia in September. Until its discontinuation in 1950, he remained employed at this service, eventually becoming head of the drawing department, but in his spare time he criss-crossed Java as a painter and in October 1948 had his first exhibition in Batavia/Jakarta.[5] After Indonesian Independence on December 27, 1949, all Dutch nationals had to choose between Dutch or Indonesian citizenship within two years. Smit briefly considered emigrating to South Africa, but decided to stay; he became an Indonesian citizen late in 1951. In the following years he taught graphics and lithography at the Institut Teknologi Bandung in West Java.BaliOn invitation by the Dutch artist Rudolf Bonnet he visited Bali in 1956, together with Dutch artist Auke Sonnega. He soon met art dealer James (Jimmy) Clarence Pandy, who ran a gallery and souvenir shop. Pandy invited Smit to stay in a house on stilts at the beach of Sanur. Smit and Pandy remained friends and formed a partnership. Pandy was well-connected; Sukarno would sometimes bring his state guests to his gallery. With his love for bright colors, Smit was captured by the Balinese landscapes in its 'riotous light', and soon decided to stay to depict its villages, rice terraces, palm trees and temples.In 1960, while touring the village of Penestanan in the Ubud District where he then lived, he came upon some boys drawing in the sand. Impressed by their talent, Smit invited them to his studio, where they became the first of a growing number of students. With minimal instruction but lots of encouragement and material support, his pupils created a naive style of genre painting that became known as the 'Young Artists' style, which at its peak had 300-400 followers. Though he is considered the father of the movement, its style is quite different than any of Smit's own styles over the years.From the time of his arrival in Bali, Smit moved some 40 times, "to see what is beyond the next hill". He stayed longest in his favorite areas of Karangasem and Buleleng. He finally settled in 1992 in the village of Sanggingan near Ubud under the patronage of Pande Wayan Suteja Neka, founder of the Neka Art Museum. In recognition for his role in the development of painting on the island, Smit received the Dharma Kusama (Flower of Devotion, a Balinese cultural award) in 1992 from the government of Bali. The Arie Smit Pavilion was opened at the Neka Art Museum in 1994 to display his works and those of contemporary Balinese artists.

Later upon his return to Indonesia he was sent to different parts of Eastern Indonesia that were frequently quite isolated to help the people there. In the course of these postings both he and his wife contracted malaria but he also became a specialist in the treatment of malaria. This proved to be extremely useful when Dr Djelantik worked for the World Health Organization which sent him to Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan. Later he became the head of Bali’s main teacher’s training college in Sanglah and helped to found the Medical Faculty which he later also headed at the University of Udayanan in Denpasar.Dr Djelantik playing the violin as a young boy.

Sn has a unique vision to raise awareness of the past through distinct, eye-catching fine art and reconstruction portrait photographs. Gung Ama, as he is known, does not use digital technology, but a process from the past; the Afghan Box Camera. As the name suggests, the camera is linked with Afghanistan, being first used in villages by travelling photographers before there were any photography studios.“Digital technology and the modern mindset desiring immediate outcomes and satisfaction are impacting upon the art of photography and contributing to the erosion of traditional Balinese values,” said Gung Ama, born in Batubulan Gianyar in 1988, whose interest is photography began in 2006. “Nowadays, smartphones equipped with sophisticated cameras are affordable and an essential modern icon and tool. Moreover, social media and selfies dramatically impact lifestyles and alter our concept of identity. By recreating the nostalgia and curiosity of old Bali through manual, handmade photos, my objective is to reignite cultural memory while inspiring awareness and discussion among all the generations.”“My photography reflects the growing sentiment within the Balinese seeking a return to the wisdom of the past,” Gung Ama said. “In the face of modernity and the homogenisation of cultures, I believe it is important to celebrate and embrace cultural icons to help reinforce our identity. In addition, it’s essential to be reminded of our forefather’s messages, culture lost and the wisdom of the past.”Article by Richard Horstmanof the past.” Article by Richard Horstman)
Symon + (A stylistic heir to Walter Spies, Le Mayeu … A stylistic heir to Walter Spies, Le Mayeur and his mentor, the Indonesian-Dutch painter Arie Smit, Symon was among the last in the lineage of foreign artists who have helped raise Bali’s international profile as an exotic destination for art and design. Renowned for his vivid pop style with new iconic motifs, he was born on April 13, 1947, as Ronald Thomas Bierl in Detroit, Michigan, the United States, and made Bali his home in 1978. He was installed in the Puri Kaler of Ubud Palace by the Ubud royal family, who had for decades been patrons of foreign artists. Symon later took over Arie Smit’s cottage in nearby Campuhan, where his studio grew into local landmark. In 2014, he moved full-time to his other destination studio at Alas Sari in North Bali, Art Zoo, which he had founded in 1998.Symon, who passed away on April 15, 2020 of natural causes from sepsis, was incredibly prolific and successful, creating many thousands of artworks in several countries.His work was widely collected by tastemakers like former minister Joop Ave, especially during the 1990s and 2000s trend for Asian neotraditional style. Many collectors built submersive Symon environments, as at Qunci Villas in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. A book series on Southeast Asian interiors had to swap some paintings in many of its featured homes because too many of their architects and owners had put Symons on their walls.Symon’s art is cherished for its vivid color, strong outlines and exuberant energy. His figurative paintings and sculpture project a friendly, fantastical appeal, combining the rawness of real-life models and scenes within compositions from mythology and lesser-known Bali history. His sense of line, hue and witty slogans draw from his origins as a cartoonist in the 1960s American counter-culture.Raised in a house at the corner of Detroit’s Normal Road and Common Street, he was far from normal or common and yearned to escape convention. He was an exciting personality to be around, popping with fresh ideas. An outrageous showman, he would tell wild anecdotes and burst into rhyming raps. As a precocious teen under the pseudonym John Ka, he wrote to Beat Generation poets like Allen Ginsburg, William Burroughs and William Carlos Williams, who sent him new poems to illustrate. He soon became an artist in underground zines like Fifth Estate and got to know New York legends like Frank Zappa and Andy Warhol.Until making Bali his permanent home, he kept trying new locations. As a youth, he twice ran away to Rome, where he studied under the sculptor Emilio Greco and got the attention of film director Federico Fellini, who dubbed him “the magician of the air”. On the overland route from Amsterdam to India, a road accident in Turkey broke his hip. While recovering he renamed himself Simon White. He finally made it to India and then went north to Nepal.Over eight years in Kathmandu, Simon helped preserve the traditional art of Tibetan woodblock printing. With three partners he opened Himalayan antique shops in London, Amsterdam and New York. Like many “Easties”, he became expert in Asian traditional knowledge, which later infused his artworks. In the mid-1970s, Simon spent periods in the New York art scene, Colombia and Wales, England. In each new location, his studios echoed Warhol’s Factory in being a networking hub and a venue for arty “happenings”. He formed several creative teams, from the Psychic League in Rome and Fantabulous Group in Nepal to the Levitation League in Legian, Bali. In his Ubud garden, he staged theatrical productions at the amphitheater designed by the futuristic architect R. Buckminster Fuller. In each location, he trained up teams of local artisans. In Nepal he hired Tibetan refugees to carve new and replacement woodblocks to the old ones he printed from. He brought screen printing to Bali in the 1980s and then to Cambodia in Minefield Studios at Siem Reap in the early 1990s. His most famous breakthrough was JakPak, a range of convertible clothing co-created with Annie Anderson and Kiyoshi Okuda, in which pop-hued jackets and hats could turn into bags through hidden pockets. JakPak became Bali’s first clothing export and an international phenomenon collected by the likes of Mick Jagger.Symon kept ahead of the curve, since his aim in life was constant reinvention under a motto “towards a functional reality”. Many of his creations were practical as well as fun, from JakPak to his Toyniture — quirky furnishings like his Lady Chairs and giant dining table. He conjured outlandish architecture, like his key-hole windowed pagoda at Art Zoo, which he filled with sculptures and oddities. The maximalist effect of all these “studio atmospherics” beguiled visitors and in turn became props for his paintings. The Art Zoo remains visually stunning. Symon’s heir and Art Zoo’s Balinese manager aim to reopen it as a destination where locals and tourists can continue to appreciate Symon’s distinctive art of Bali.ppreciate Symon’s distinctive art of Bali.)
