Review of Selamat Datang ke Malaysia
Gina Fairley has written a review of Selamat Datang ke Malaysia (Welcome To Malaysia) for Universes in Universes. She says some thoughtful and generous things about the show and my work. I'm so pleased and am filled with a silly sort of happiness. As I wasn't sure what the response to this particular work would be, it is a relief to have a positive response.
Please read the review here.
Don't miss this show when it opens at Valentine Willie Fine Art on 22 August! It is the perfect opportunity to decide for yourselves if local contemporary artists really do translate the things that are important to us now in Malaysia, or if they remain inscrutable. Also I'm going to leak out that there is a really fun and beautiful catalogue accompanying the exhibition - it includes postcards of each work! If you're lucky and come early, you could bag one! ^_-

Hey where are the images to that work Gina's referring to? Can you post any here?
Hey newt, blogged about it a little while back. You can see some video stills here.
But I don't have installation shots of the video with the carpets. In fact haven't seen it properly installed yet with speakers and everything - at the time I sent instructions to Sydney.
Hope to have many images when it opens at VWFA! Have booked you a catalogue already ;)
Ribuan Tahniah dan Syabas Cik Sharon dan juga semua yang terlibat *senyum*

Come for opening Snailey! (haven't seen you in forever) Miss your blog (that means miss you too). Hope all going well in your wood - I can't wait for If Only! Pls notify when it comes out - am in hermit-worker mode, I might not see it until I venture out into the world again.
