It is a highly visual experience of Papua New Guinea's spectacular cultures and artistic wealth for many readers and viewers who have not experienced Papua New Guinean art in its own setting and context. \u2018Kastom and Contemporary Culture\u2019 and 'Village \u2022 Urban \u2022 Global\u2019 are the interlinking themes through which Living Art presents ideas about art, artists, creative processes and aesthetics. Moving across Papua New Guinea\u2019s diversity of environments and cultures we locate innovative artists from rural villages, to downtown Port Moresby, to the international stage. We see how Papua New Guinea artists network and negotiate the linkages between local, regional and global art worlds. As we explore the living art of Papua New Guinea of today our ideas about what art is may be challenged. The interplay between text and interactive elements adds to the reader\u2019s experience visually and intellectually. All individual interactive elements in Living Art have been carefully researched to extend the beyond the format of a conventional art book. The visual spectrum of images is greatly increased through virtual galleries. Hyperlinks to exhibition websites, online catalogues and essays extend the interpretation of images. With embedded video clips, you-tube links and image galleries, Living Art brings alive the multiple contemporary realities of art and life in Papua New Guinea. This art book for the digital age is the culmination of thirty years research, writing and curating activities in Papua New Guinea. Editor and contributor: Hugh Stevenson, Luk Luk Gen, Jiunshyan Lee, Max Quanchi Susan Cochrane (b.1949) has achieved recognition as a writer and curator on Indigenous Pacific art in Australia and internationally over thirty years as an independent researcher, curator and writer. Growing up in Papua New Guinea gave her a special interest in her own generation of artists and their remarkable achievements.
