Happenings

Up to 200 works ranging from the 16th Century to the present day will be showcased in the gallery’s second international exhibition entitled, Artist and Empire: (En)countering Colonial Legacies.

Organised in association with Tate Britain, the exhibition is said to critically examine art produced for the British Empire from today’s perspective while featuring Southeast Asian viewpoints.

The opening reception will be held on Oct 4 from 5pm.

Visitors of Tunjang – an exhibition by four Anak Alam members Mustapa Ibrahim, Maryam Abdullah, Ali ‘Mabuha’ Rahamad and Yusoff Osman – are invited to participate in an open mic on Saturday May 21 2016 at Creative Space, National Visual Arts Gallery, Kuala Lumpur.

Akhirnya… is the title of an exhibition of Awang Damit’s personal collection of works that range from his Intipati Budaya series to Payarama series .

The show celebrates the inauguration of the artist’s own art space, pantauIRAGA in Kuala Langat. This is a non-selling exhibition as the focus is to introduce the space to art lovers.

The first pantauIRAGA publication covers Awang Damit’s concepts, sketches and his painting series from 1985 to 2015 as well as a selection of artist’s writings.

Writer Rehman Rashid’s book, “Peninsula : A Story of Malaysia”, will be launched at White Box.

This publication  is co-published by Fergana Art which broadens its scope of activities beyond visual arts.

The book is a “memoir” that is “interlaced with the country’s historical narrative” by one of the most erudite Malaysians writing in the English language.
