Whether it is a commercial message, spiritual, abstract or instructive, these forms of typographical communication attest to the villagers' expressiveness that were, in the past, suppressed and left unnoticed.]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/09/02/decoding-serdang-04-never-underestimate-the-vernacular/feed/ 10 http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/06/10/decoding-serdang-03-why-am-i-writing-this/ http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/06/10/decoding-serdang-03-why-am-i-writing-this/#comments Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:19:57 +0000 admin http://www.arterimalaysia.com/?p=2689 by Tan Zi Hao It was all very scattered and uncertain but the good intentions were there from the beginning. Artist Chu Yuan sent me an e-mail asking me to get involve in Entry Points, the inaugural 1948 Artspace project in Serdang. ]]> http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/06/10/decoding-serdang-03-why-am-i-writing-this/feed/ 4 http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/15/decoding-serdang-02-confession-of-the-smksk-fighters/ http://www.arterimalaysia.com/2009/05/15/decoding-serdang-02-confession-of-the-smksk-fighters/#comments Fri, 15 May 2009 06:25:39 +0000 admin http://www.arterimalaysia.com/?p=1822 by S.M.K.
