Tan Nan See, “I Wanna Be A Contemporary Artist”, 2006-2007, Mixed media.

This work is exhibited at Galeri Petronas, KLCC in their exhibition “Young Malaysian Artists - New Objec(tion), 13 July - 3 October 2010.

The dust has now settled from our move to Taman Tunku apartments in March 2010. While we adjust to the cosier dimensions of our office space, Rogue has been working on a few projects at a steady simmer. At present, we are also juggling a couple of unexpected last minute offers which we simply could not refuse.  We thought we’d take a moment to share with you are activities for the upcoming months, in case you are wondering what has been keeping us busy.

To keep in touch with our activities, join us on Facebook!

We are in the middle of getting ready for the exhibition “Malaysian Art Friends : Highlights from 15 Private Collections” opening at the National Art Gallery Malaysia this weekend. This exhibition will be held in conjunction with the launch of the book “30 Art Friends : Appreciating Southeast Asia Art”. So, if you are free on Saturday evening, do drop by and join us at the exhibition opening at 8pm on June 26th, 2010. The event will be officiated by Y Bhg Tan Sri Kamarul Ariffin.

We had a chat with our friends at Arteri Malaysia about our involvement with Agus Suwage’s monograph “Still Crazy After All These Years”. Click here to read

We’d like to congratulate national laureate Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal on winning his court case against the Mayor of KL last Friday, and to the courts for their enlightened decision on this landmark case for the Malaysian artist community. The Mayor of KL has been ordered to pay RM750,000 to Datuk Syed for “damages on infringement of moral rights” following the massive alteration of the artist’s Lunar Peak sculpture (commissioned by UMBC Harta Sdn Bhd in 1985) at Jalan Bandar without his consent. Read the reports in Malaysian Digest and The Star.

We salute Datuk Syed and Datin Hamidah and their legal team for their perseverance. What now for Lunar Peak however?

Hello All!

This has been circulating in Facebook for a couple of weeks now and we thought we’d share this with you. Our dear friends at Cemeti Art House is making an open call to artists from Southeast Asia who may be interested in participating in the following programmes:

- working on project/workshop & exhibition with artists from Myanmar
- 3 month residency at Cemeti Art House
- holding Master Class programme

If you are interested please mail them:

- latest updated CV with links to websites/blogs etc
- a portfolio with minimum 5 works
- a short write up about the theme and concepts you’d like to explore

CAH only accepts proposals in the form of CD, DVD or hardcopy print outs.

There is no age limit to this call. Students are encouraged to apply if interested. Please note however that non-Indonesian artists will have to work out funding possibilities individually as this is a rather modest programme and funding is very limited.

DEADLINE is APRIL 15th but CAH is willing to make exceptions for late-applicants so do email ahead to let them know if you are interested in applying! Apparently there haven’t been many takers so we thought we’d help spread the word from our end.

email:cemetiah@indosat.net.id

GOOD LUCK!

Contemporary Asian art collectors Alessandro Gasparini, Cristiana Gasparini and Sabrina D’Amely have this month opened a new exhibition space in Turin, Italy. Interestingly the inaugural show, Verso Manila, organised in conjunction with the Drawing Room Manila, hails from the Philippines, surveying established and younger contemporary artists including Alfredo & Isabel Aquilizan, Kiko Escora, Jose Legaspi and Maya Munoz amongst others. We wish our friends all the best for their Italian debut.
