Analysis of Institut Ruangrupa’s Alternative Art Education During 2015-2018
2020
Since 2000, ruangrupa (Jakarta-based art collective) has had an alternative art information
distribution (alternative of the formal art education). They offer values which arise from
collective processes such as mutual sharing. The establishment of Institut Ruangrupa in
2015-2018 focused on the topic of art education through discursive and collaborative arts
practices. The collaboration carried out with Dewan Kesenian Jakarta at the Jakarta Biennale
2015 produced a program called ‘Maju Kena Mundur Kena Academy’. This paper will analyze
the method of the Institut Ruangrupa’s alternative art education which utilize a joint network
with Arts Collaboratory (an art organization consisted of more than 20 organizations from
Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East). The purpose of this research is to provide a
detailed description of the background and methods of ruangrupa’s alternative art education.
This research built upon the theory of collaborative learning initiated by John Dewey, a
learning concept that place community as the center. Ruangrupa through dynamic education
styles exercise collaborative artistic projects with already established national and international
connections and resources. In conclusion, the art education practice of Institut Ruangrupa by
placing collectivism as the main idea, utilizing communication network relationships and
collaborative work that is oriented towards problem solving, is able to become one of the
alternative methods in an effort to reformulate the practice of art education, especially in
Indonesia.
