WHERE ART HAPPENS<\/h1>\n

RogueArt presents a series of public talks on Where Art Happens<\/em><\/strong>, made possible with the kind support of Yayasan Sime Darby.<\/p>\n

Malaysia\u2019s art scene has evolved significantly over the past ten years, with an active collectors\u2019 market and growing numbers of emerging artists and art graduates joining the fray. Increasingly, contemporary Malaysian artists are exhibiting on an international level. Yet there is little awareness about local artists, exhibitions and events among our general public.<\/p>\n

In the face of social, political and economic change, where does art find its place in Malaysian society today? How do artists make themselves visible to the public? Why is art relevant to the wider society, how do we make it relevant? How do we build or reinforce a sustainable infrastructure for art in Malaysia?<\/p>\n

Where Art Happens<\/em><\/strong> aims to introduce questions and open discussions of how art is presented to and supported by the larger community.\u00a0 Museum and gallery directors, corporate sponsors, art managers, art patrons, and artists, both in Malaysia and from the Southeast Asian region, come together to share their experiences and ideas.<\/p>\n

This talk series is presented in three parts:<\/p>\n

13 June 2009<\/strong><\/span> (10.45 am \u2013 4pm): Art Spaces: Policies, Agendas, Ways Forward<\/span> <\/strong>investigates different kinds of spaces where art is presented, from national institutions to independent artist-run spaces; we find out more about the programmes, policies and aims of these spaces and what they offer to artists and the public. Speakers include Hasnul Jamal Saidon Director of Galeri & Muzium Tuanku Fauziah (Universiti Sains Malaysia), Ahmad bin Mashadi Head of NUS Museum, Singapore and Independent Curator, Rifky Effendy (Indonesia).<\/p>\n

20 June 2009<\/strong><\/span> (10.45 am \u2013 4pm): Getting Out There: Art in the Community<\/strong><\/span> looks at the way in which artists and artist collectives have engaged with the community through on-the-ground projects, often invited or supported by public\/private sector institutions. Key local initiatives such as Let Arts Move You, which brought art to KTM commuters in 2007, and the Contemporary Art In School project in 2008, as well as the public programme at the Jakarta Biennale 2009, will be presented. Leading artists such as Amanda Heng from Singapore talk about interacting with the public in their work. Versatile arts and media innovator Mark Teh will talk about his involvement with Chow Kit Fest, and Five Arts\u2019 Theatre in Education projects. Arthub\u2019s Defne Ayas and Davide Quadrio will talk about projects held in China in social inter-spaces.<\/p>\n

27 June 2009<\/strong><\/span> (10.45 am \u2013 4pm): Feeding Creativity: Art Residencies & Grants<\/strong><\/span>
\nArtists need time, funding and space to explore and develop new ideas. Travelling to and residing in different places also encourages exchange and builds networks. Here we discuss different types of art residencies and funding available locally and in the region. Private patrons and corporate sponsors have been the most active in supporting artists in Malaysia: Rimbun Dahan, RBS-Malihom AIR Programme, HOM (Matahati), Krishen Jit-ASTRO Fund present their programmes, while Mella Jaarsma co-founder of Cemeti Art House in Yogyakarta speaks about their Landing Soon residency project made possible with an award from the Rockefeller Foundation. Malaysian artists also speak about their experiences on residency programmes in Malaysia, China, Korea, Vietnam, the USA and other exotic places.<\/p>\n
