A box that is arranged in a regular and structured transformed into a form of dimensional cube, the cube itself is emblematic of the complexity that happen to us and the environment, in a form of a standard, which we ourselves are often caught up in the forms that have been sustained around us, form a very normative. The cube itself has a deficiency in which each side has to end to meet with the other side, which means there will still be a limit of what we do because they each human being has the right to do anything and the limit is when what they do collide with committed another people, of course, when it happens there are several options that can be taken, fight and win, caving, collaboration, or both stopped. But with the restrictions that exist in the form of cubes into human symbolism of that, then we will have a form that makes the identity of ourselves.
In every city or region there must be a problem concerning the art, the complexity of the issues about art and the process will of course be very diverse, and can not be equated averaging, take the example of the infrastructure of art that exists in an area called the town and village, in the town the infrastructure is available very much, but the problem is the current form of infrastructure that is not always updated or supplemented in number, the longer of available infrastructure will not be able to offset the number of artists in the city, and the result potential of the artist in town can not be empowered optimally, the next issue of infrastructure but the use of case studies in the village, of course, in the village of performers are not too many (though not all villages), but the number of performers who bit and even then the government as a facilitator usually neglected and not too much attention arts in the region, because art is not a priority in the region. That is only one form of the problems that we will find when doing a process of art in the village or town refers to the infrastructure problems, but in fact there are still many problems anymore, which if we describe one by one would be very long, and finally this paper does not focus on what will be discussed.
Of course as an artist unrecommended for being passive, only be the part who asked for supply needs, such as space, exhibition event or so, because I think ideally when the artist have problems that exist in the region that he live then he will work creatively to resolve the issue by creating works of art, as an artist consciously or unconsciously is the agency that oversees a culture. The interesting thing to note is how the solutions offered to dismantle the artists related issues will be the problems that exist in the area where they lived, all the more to respond to the problem and then make an artwork, artwork that could represent themself and the circumstances surrounding it. Complexity aesthetically true art, creativity, experiments, challenges intellectual, can not be realized through the techniques of production of mass culture, such works were more dependent on things that are completely contrary to the production massal1, therefore the most ideal agents for addressing a symptom (problem) that occur around are individuals who are able to think creatively, but did not rule then a solution made by individuals through a work of art followed en masse and produced larger (wider impacts). Transformation of a problem affecting about and attitudes of the artist itself will be indicated when the work was born or when the work was created.
There are three views about a culture and its function in the process is associated with the first environmental situation is ideal category, here culture is seen as a state or process of perfecting the human self and values related to absolute or certain universal values. The second is the culture as a “documentary record” or texts and cultural practices, here culture is seen as an imaginative intellectual framework in which the manner detailed experience and human thought note (Storey, 2003: 76). The third is the “social category”, here culture is seen as a specific view of life2. The third view is a behavior that can be taken on a region, and as an artist agent entitled to decide to take on the role he coveted.
Cubism of idealism in the theme SMO #3 is interpreted as a box the scope of the problems that occur in an area that we live and responses such as what can be given to respond to the issues that directly or indirectly affects us as people who take shelter in the region. Cubism itself is an avant-garde movement of the 20th century pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. This art movement revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired similar movements in music and literature. But we will escape from the sense of cubism valid, we will borrow the term cubism as manners compartmentalized within boundaries and move (responds) such that it is able to affect the smallest namely against himself or even a very broad impact first pass border itself. Lack of response to the problem of course because of the impact that occurs to us whether it is beneficial or detrimental, but I believe that more encouragement to move is when the person is feeling discomfort, when feeling thus means it is a bad impact is experienced, due to adverse impact is an inconvenience to an order that occurred when the social phenomena that occur in the region or so, then people have thought hard and strong (idealistic) will take a stand to revolutionize the problems that occur when he was an artist then the response most ideal thing to do is to proceed, work, and when it is able to do well by the artist will then performed a very broad impact, especially beyond boundaries and time.
Artists submitted artworks despite using a technique and the same concept but the end result will be different, and the difference between the artwork and the other one is what is loaded in the artwork. It also makes an artwork to be expensive, but not expensive simply calculated by the nominal value but expensive in every aspect of its beauty, aesthetic, taste, color, and so on. As written in the book Danto:
The work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. To be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristic of works of genius; it is their patent of nobility. All other human works exist only for the maintenance and relief of our existence; Discussed here only Reviews those do not; they alone exist for Reviews their own sake, and are to be regarded in this sense as the flower … of existence. Our heart is therefore gladdened at the enjoyment of them, for we rise out of the heavy Earthly atmosphere of need and want3.
The charge of an artwork will be on stream naturally from the artists towards their work. With the charge pattern artworks and the artists themselves as a form of genius artists, then we will be able to see the artwork as a visual form up into a narrative that tells a lot refers to the process of the artist, the work environment, interest and other matters related to the artist itself.
Back into areas that we live today, into a condition that is very complex, which makes us do everything according to what has been set by the existing order in it, of course, is part of problems faced by many artists in their environment, generally an artist has a rebellious spirit (want to be different) are very strong, have a need to be different. Ultimately decisive is the courage to control oneself, to express forms of dissatisfaction with the rules and to what extent we were able to go from that order without thinking about the value given instead. Rout and sincere when we will be ostracized for doing that is considered contrary to the rules around, but the contrary does not mean doing the wrong thing, because the existing rules are usually forms a barrier to bind a rule, of course it would make we sultry, still dare to express to do something we think is right and fight although it is different. Similarly, art is now widely tied to patrons who tend to be normative, leave it forms obsolete because art form of our time is something that is very dynamic and not bound, although there are some groups that cubism it.
Many problems in the region that we live certainly not become an obstacle to the creative process, otherwise the artist as a person who a lot of play in the realm of creative should be able to rack my brain to find a solution to the problems that occur in its surroundings, though not intended as a general solution to all among the least able to be a solution for themself. At SMO #3 we will bring the spirit solutif forms of artwork to be offered to appreciators as a form of real movement on the issues that occur as an artist.
…………………………………..
We live in a box called an environment that certainly prevalent problems in it, but when we believe that we are more extensive than the box, we will be able to create doors as a way to enter and exit least for ourselves from the box trammel, or even be the one to decide where this box will be washed away.
