Abstract
The field of contemporary art tramples the ‘memory of tradition’ of Balinese diaspora artists towards Balinese ‘post-tradition’ dialectic intersecting with the concept of place, time, and conditions of the contemporary era. This paper relies on literature research on Balinese aesthetics and visual art exhibitions held by Sanggar Dewata Indonesia fine arts community as a creative space for Balinese diaspora artists in Yogyakarta. The philosophical reflection of the values of local wisdom refers to the conception of Desa, Kala, Patra, and Rwa Bhineda. The study of visuality aspects found that the interpretation of post-tradition paradigm of Balinese diaspora artists gave rise to new cultural identities, especially in the embodiment of varied representations of the ideas of works of art; some artistic aspects tend to be simplified. The post-tradition paradigm is based on hybridizing academic intellectual concepts with the local cultural values of the archipelago, modern to the contemporary global realm.
