Ikat Textiles of the Indonesian Archipelago by Peter ten Hoopen Pdf

What knowledge is conserved about ikat textiles and their use in the Indonesian archipelago consists primarily of the records of missionary and scientific fieldwork, predominantly compiled by non-Indonesians. The coverage is thin-many weaving regions are covered by only one or two sources, and several regions have never been studied in detail. Much traditional knowledge is being lost, especially in the more remote island regions in the Indonesian archipelago, which require a concerted effort if any trace of their culture is to survive. UMAG hopes to contribute to the broader project by means of this publication, which shows ikat culture through a close reading of examples from over fifty weaving regions-several covered for the first time-and an introduction to the conditions, beliefs and customs of the various peoples who have created and used them. The book was enriched by the collaboration of twelve region-specific experts who gave critical feedback on chapters or provided details on techniques and motifs that only they could have provided. - Verlagsangaben.

Ikat from Timor and Its Outer Islands by Peter Ten Hoopen Pdf

This is the first study to focus on ikat of the Timor region from a technical perspective, including microscopy and design analysis of asymmetry, an understudied subject. Paradoxically, this technical perspective highlights the human factor. Focused on the last century of the colonial period, we see the weaver's decisions in close-up, as if we are sitting next to her. This yields rich insights, not just in materiality, but also in the weavers' creativity. Asymmetry is widely distributed in the region, yet has largely been ignored. This is curious, because asymmetry is highly interesting: it goes against ikat's technical diktat (which prescribes the production of two identical panels in parallel), hence requires extra work. Seven distinct ways to achieve asymmetry are differentiated, including visual tricks and illusions, flagrant displays of virtuosity, and intellectual superiority. On Sumba, women of the nobility made thrilling and amusing efforts to hide their virtuosity, dyeing into their men's cloths tiny visual devices, secret keys, which revealed that their work was not just good, but luar biasa, out of the ordinary. Ironically, because these late 19th- and early 20th-century dyers were such great masters at hiding their virtuosity, it remained overlooked by generations of researchers. Taking up Marie Jeanne Adams's 1969 call, so far unheeded, to deepen the study of Indonesian ikat textiles by means of microscopy, the author shot thousands of micro-photographs, allowing a study of yarn development over time, as well as the differentiation of 21 distinct weave types, a number far exceeding expectation, and their distribution across 41 ikat weaving regions in the Indonesian archipelago. In the final chapter, the author analyses what may have spurred the weavers of the region to create their most intricate, most time consuming, feats of artistry, and develops a view of these women as far more inventive and intelligent than they have been credited with before - and more assertive, using ikat's prestige to spin their men into a web of taboos and prescriptions.

Timor: totems e Traços. Timor: totems and tokens by Anonim Pdf

A exposição "Timor: Totems e Traços" apresenta um importante conjunto de têxteis tais futus de Timor Ocidental e Timor-Leste (68 exemplares), a maioria datada do século XX ou mesmo anterior, que testemunham a grande diversidade regional desta ilha no que diz respeito a um tipo de produção artesanal feita, ainda hoje, por mulheres em teares tradicionais de madeira. Os exemplares expostos, na sua maioria pertencentes à coleção de um dos principais especialistas na área, Peter ten Hoopen, serão completados com algumas peças têxteis de uma coleção particular suíça e do acervo de tais e fotografias de Timor-Leste dos anos 60 pertencentes à Fundação Oriente. De assinalar nesta exposição a inclusão de uma dúzia de exemplares bastante raros de tais, provenientes de Timor-Leste. O longo período de agitação política vivido neste país fez com que grande parte do seu património têxtil fosse destruído e impedida a sua recolha. Assim, esta exposição oferece uma oportunidade única de ver, ao vivo, espécimes raros e um conjunto representativo da arte têxtil do tais futus.

Noble Virtuosity by Peter Ten Hoopen Pdf

An examination of the surprising asymmetry hidden in the work of Sumbanese weavers. In this new study, Peter ten Hoopen reveals levels of virtuosity in the work of Sumbanese textile artists that remained overlooked for over a century of Indonesian textile research. Their richly decorated men's wraps, hinggi, have commonly been described as symmetric along both axes. But as ten Hoopen's investigation at Leiden University uncovered, this supposed canon only survived because crucial design elements were overlooked. Sumba's noble weavers managed to create asymmetry by hiding tiny visual elements that disrupted symmetry and were made to be overlooked. This virtuosity was a product of Sumba's competitive culture, suffused by an ancient headhunting ethos and marked by secrecy. Ten Hoopen's findings reveal not just the Sumbanese dyers' talent, but also their playfulness and the element of "flow" that inspired their work. This ode to the Sumbanese weavers' ingenuity aims to create a new global class of initiates and to inspire even greater admiration for their art.

Thread and Fire by Linda S. McIntosh Pdf

- Features rare island artefacts- Covers both Indonesian and Timorese textiles and jewelryThread and Fire is a fascinating journey through the centuries-old trade networks that developed across a group of archipelagos along the equator. Of the 18,000 islands, more than 900 are permanently settled by over 360 ethnic groups, speaking 700 languages and dialects. For centuries this vast and rich environment favored local and regional exchanges, and it was only later that people visited from afar. New connections integrated these archipelagoes with the distant civilizations of continental Asia: first India, later China and from the 13th century onwards, the Islamic world. Finally, with the arrival of Europeans in the early 16th century, global trade and connections grew rapidly. Spices and forest & sea products were the focus of foreign interests, and textiles were the currency for their acquisition. These imported textiles, complemented with ornaments and jewelry, soon became part of the region's social fabric, indispensable items of gift and exchange, essential markers for the indictment of ceremonies, rights of passage and signifiers of rank and prestige. Thread and Fire explores and illustrates those ancient connections and traditions through Indonesian and Timorese textiles, regalia and jewelry from the Francisco Capelo collection, assembled over a 20-year period and now part of the permanent collection of Casa Asia-Colecao Francisco Capelo in Lisbon.

Traditional Indonesian Textiles by John Gillow Pdf

The reverence accorded to textile art on the islands is reflected in every area of production; precision of weave and exquisite patterning are testimony to superlative craftsmanship. Lying at the heart of a vast network of trading routes, Indonesia has absorbed a wealth of foreign influences that have spawned an eclectic culture uniquely mirrored in its textile art. Beautiful cloud shapes characteristic of Chinese painting reappear in Javanese batik, while Ming porcelain and Chinese embroideries have provided inspiration for many wonderful patterns. Indian symbols - the tree of life, the naga snake, the sacred mountain, the lotus - have all been rendered as textile motifs. Geometric forms, human and animal figures and even Dutch Art Deco designs can also be found.
