9 'current generation' Malay artists invite you
to a Ramadhan fast breaking buffet on the dusk of 14 November 2003
at The Substation on 45 Armenian Street.
This buffet is part of Berita Harian, an exhibition
curated by artist Khairuddin Hori and co-presented by The Substation.
Berita Harian, translated Daily News, is a rare presentation of
young and active practicing Singaporean Malay artists. These artists
will put forward their explication of news and issues persistent,
current and significant through their various genres of practice.
Amongst the works showing at Berita Harian are;
'ReDiscovery Channel', a computer generated 'animation teaser advertisement
trailer' by Ridzuan Saari, 'DE-stress kapa', a site-specific de-stressing
sound installation in The Substation's toilets by Zulkifle Mahmod
and 'Window Shopping', a CCTV installation showing real-time events
inside various pockets of The Substation by Harman Hussin.
As clichéd as any gathering of Malay artists
can be, Berita Harian however promises to be a landmark event in
the history of local art development. This is also the first time
that 9 current generation contemporary Malay artists are working
together on one show. The exhibition provides a chance for the public
and the local art community to view the opinions, statements and
psyche of this 'current generation' of contemporary Malay talents.
Witness Berita Harian because it is NEWS on current
state of contemporary Malay art
