Art Attack
In the discussion of whether life imitates art or vice versa, I would like to weigh the factor of digitalisation. Both aspects are becoming more malleable, noting the quick advancement of the metaverse. As the cryptocurrency rises and falls with NFT pieces trade quickly within minutes, art has entered the digital sphere with a bang. Thus we dedicate this edition as a starting point to join in the myriads of discussions surrounding these topics.
Start from the NFT for Dummies article to freshen up your vocabulary before delving into pieces about notable artists Zhang Huan and Murat Pak. Beyond all things digital and virtual, we live in earthly realities and still appreciate a good, physical exhibition for a change. Our monthly art column, curated by my good friend Deborah Iskandar of ISA Art&Design;, constantly updates us on past and future events to visit. This month’s Eye to Eye coverage, from a recent exhibition at Galeri Nasional, talks about connectedness in solidarity, which also resonates with us in this digital era.
With all these focuses on art, surely we cannot overlook our cover and cover story with the same treatment. Collaborating with artist Anton Ismael famous for his photography and painting works, art and fashion translate into these pages with much zest. Rr. Ayu Maulida Putri as the muse further helps showcase the artistry and future of young Indonesian designers. Furthermore, the article New Frontiers Ahead delves into her experiences as Puteri Indonesia 2020 and what lies ahead in her journey. Many more fashionable articles are abound in this edition for your enjoyment at home while we socially distance ourselves some more for the good of all.
Happy reading!
