Basic Principles of Post-Rizalism
1. post-rizalism deals with the changes in time in relation to fashion and architecture. it is quite simple to understand. one must not stick to one fashion or style of attire pertaining to a certain period of time just because one loves spadex/leg warmers or platforms. this act of retaining oneself in one particular time and not moving on will challenge the principle of time, motion and space. i.e. one shall not stick in the 80's because one must move forward so as not to get oneself stuck in leg warmers. and need i mention roman pillars in kampung houses?
2. post-rizalism and post rizalists are not against the literature and the artworks pertaining to the period of rizalism and pre-rizalism (circa 1983-2001) but merely enhancing the understanding of the artworks and its context in relation to the time period. post-rizalists despise the obsessive usage of the word 'abstract' and 'minimalist'. these words are often time used without any context and content. post-rizalists have the tendency to relate everything back to the origin of the object and the time period in which it was produced. every single thing should relate to the economy and politics of the origin.
3. post-rizalists are great patrons of art especially those with substance and are not just made of wild strokes and are romanticized by christening them with names such as ‘menggapai mentari’ or ‘lovely sunset’. Post-rizalists favor arts from the region of their origin. Often time, these western educated patrons turn to native art for solace and comfort. Mona Lisa and Picasso are no more cool. Reciting names of western classical paintings are deemed shallow. This new generation of art patrons prefers the works of regional artists (in this case the South-East Asian artist) such as Juan Luna, Wong Hoy Chong and Non Hendratmo. These artists provide the patrons with insights towards one culture and belief.
4. post-rizalism’s literature encompasses a wide range of writings by both western and eastern writers. This is very essential to balance the understanding of both art worlds. An average post rizalist (19 y.o. guy) can recite lines from Nietzsche and Voltaire while comparing them to the Ramayana or Pramoedya Ananta Toer. How ever it is hard to detemine the exact books or writings read by these post-rizalists. This is due to the availability of information , short and concise, on the Internet.
