| Summary: | Kampung Jelekong is an art and culture village in Baleendah Subdistrict of
Bandung Regency which is well known for its activities of making puppet crafts and
paintings. Apart from the existence of artists and their activities of making
artworks, the association of Jelekong Village is also shaped by the presence of
various sociotechnical actors and the translation of actions among them. This
translation of actions, however, in reality often encounters many obstacles, and
thus brings instability to the association network of Jelekong Village. The obstacles
in the translation of actions mainly occur due to the undistributed competence of
an actor to other actors and the unavailability of a capable articulator in mediating
many different actions performed by actors. Therefore, this research and design
project aimed at designing art and cultural spaces as a sociotechnical medium
which are able to navigate the translation of actions. The art and cultural spaces
are supposed to increase stability of the existing association network, strengthen
the locality of relations within the association, and initiate several new
sociotechnical relations in Jelekong Village.
This qualitative research and design process was conducted by using the
perspective of ANT (Actor-Network Theory). ANT especially helped provide a
description of the existing association network and carry out an analysis of the
obstacles in the translation of actions involving various types of actors. On the basis
of the contextual analysis, three-plus-one types of art-and-cultural-space design
interventions were proposed, and they included (1) the revitalization of puppet
crafting and performing art center, (2) the design of painting art center, (3) the
reconstruction of gallery-houses, and (4) the integration between these two art
centers and a number of gallery-houses through some neighborhood streets.
Finally, the art and cultural spaces in Jelekong Village were designed by a concept
of “Balaisung, Articulating Sociospatial Assemblage”. This design concept ensures
that the art and cultural spaces are simply performative, proliferative,
representative, and interconnected.
