Following art wherever it goes.

 by Tanya Soong It is possibly one of the art world’s big little ironies that one of the hardest hit country in Southeast Asia by the current economic crisis is playing host to 80s ‘neo-expressionist’ extraordinaire, Julian Schnabel, who led the charge in painting’s postmodern renaissance and whose seemingly soaring fame and ego was neutered by the financial meltdown of [...]  by ARTERI Why so ssserioussss? Watching the late Heath Ledger perform that line as The Joker was surely one of the best moments in The Dark Knight. One day someone has to organize an exhibition with that title (along with ‘Who’s Your Daddy?’). With all that’s happening in the country these days (weird new PM, triple by-elections), there’s no better time to celebrate the fool in us all. There are some excellent events coming up in the next couple of days that you don’t want to miss. I’m going to indulge in some serious art-going and recommend you do the same, starting [...]  by Simon Soon Indieguerillas consists of Miko and Santi, a dynamic husband and wife tag team, who operate the label as a design firm/consultancy as well as an artistic collaboration. It’s not entirely true, though, to consider what they do as purely collaborative because an element of combat is central to their creative process, reflecting a practice that pays homages to two different cultural streams – one that is as contemporary as street art and as old as the [...]  by Simon Soon Once in awhile, it’s nice and healthy to be reminded how insipidly and painfully middle class KL is. That’s one big reason to [...]  by Johnny McGeorge “The ancients built Valdrada on the shores of a lake, with houses all verandas one above the other, and high streets whose railed parapets look out over the water. Thus the traveler, arriving, sees two cities: one erect above the lake, and the other reflected, upside down…” (from Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino) [...]  by Zedeck Siew Behind Australian ape-lover Lisa Roet’s recent In-Sight exhibition are worthy sentiments: generally, that the environment is in bad shape; more specifically, that our simian kin are almost all endangered because of human activity. If you see Roet’s ten orangutan portraits – each sketching a different individual ape that she worked with in the 15 years of her enthusiasm – and are then persuaded to donate to the WWF, that’s cool. Perhaps the works have served their [...]  by ARTERI Is your life governed by a never-ending series of deadlines? Do you lose track of all the hats you wear? Is your job description so hyphen-heavy that it barely fits on your (self-designed-self-printed) business card? Then you’re probably that special species of worker known as the [...]  by Daniel Chong [WARNING! (IM)MATURE CONTENT AND POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE PICTURES AND LINKS AHEAD. SCROLL DOWN AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. REMEMBER, ONCE YOU SEE, YOU CAN'T [...]  By Eva McGovern I would like to take the opportunity to use my inaugural contribution to contribute an editorial of sorts since I have very kindly been accepted as contributing editor for Arteri. This entry therefore is about a question. A question I have been trying to understand so I can posit it in a more sophisticated [...] by ARTERI We want to thank readers for checking into ARTERI. It’s been a great first week for us and the blog. Me and Simon are very excited with the enthusiastic response, in fact the other day we were saying to each other that it’s worth waking up for in the morning! Both of us are away for the weekend, so posting will be light. We have alot planned, including: [...]  Following our post on Penang Toy Museum, I thought I’d share with you legendary director Hayao Miyazaki’s (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke) ‘manifesto’ for the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan. His vision is so simple: ‘put together as if it were a film’, yet profound: ‘a museum that makes you feel more enriched when you leave than when you entered!’. If our museums were guided by such ideas, maybe they would seem more like places for the living than the dead. In fact, alot of the following would apply well to curating art exhibitions, IMHO. Official Ghibli Museum site [...]  by ARTERI Exhibition opening and party pics for Bambang Toko’s Titian Muhibah: Serumpun, Senada, Seirama. Celebrating Malaysia-Indonesia relations with Malay retro rock and bad fashion sense. [...] |
