Malaysian contemporary art: my first gallery solo

My first solo exhibition was in a community hall in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.
My second solo was in a spa treatment Centre,  in Kampung Air, Kota Kinabalu, North Borneo.
I think it was after I won the governor's award that the state art gallery has a reason for me to exhibit in their building.
So this year, its official that I have been offered to do my first gallery solo, in a gallery, hehehe. We are looking at November, so i can think of a kick ass concept..
Stay tune for more news ya...

Malaysian contemporary art: CAG goes to school!


the picture above is the gang and the students of a local university in Kota Kinabalu ,Sabah, North Borneo. Along with their Lecturer Miss Maznah.

Me and the Cracko art group are now going in to institutions, namely universities, to give talks and sharing on contemporary art.

We guessed its important because in this part of the country, contemporary art is something very foreign and strange matter to people like the ones we met in PTPL College Kota Kinabalu. The idea of conceptual art is very new to them, I wont say this is a bad thing, but rather this is a good place to start experiencing contemporary art, so to speak.

end of the day, both parties, the students and the speakers which is me and the crackos, learn a lot from each other. good and bad infos all round.

Now we sendings more proposals to other institutions in the city to see where we do this kinda exercise again, because its so much fun, plus we get to play with their heads for a bit.

still a long way to go.... Hidup Seni Sabah!!

new years revolution

well ok.

my so called revolution is taking a bit longer than i imagined , but its all good.

oh thanks to Michele all the way from Vancouver, Canada, now I actually know that this blog could impact people from the other side of this world, all this while I thought no one was reading these stuff, thanks Michele!!

so,
is it too late for a new year's resolution?
I dont have anything specific, just that i just want to travel more in the name of art and do art all year long as much as i can and still have fun with art in the process.

I wanna make new friends, near or far

young or old

crazy or sane

u name it.... i dont care that much.

oh, i wanna read more, sing more, probably dance if i could coordinate my body to...

so yeah, 2014 will be a crazy trip ...again. I just hope everyone following this blog will have as much fun as I will this year, perhaps more...yeah... Viva la revolucion! hehe
