Unsurprisingly, kids of all ages visiting Art Expo Malaysia 2009 are having a great time, and are a huge part of the fun for all of us here. The ARTERI booth has been a huge hit with children – we can practically see They’s art and the Suitcase of Stuff exhibit igniting their little brain-engines. There’s been a little too much touching of the art with this demographic but of course it’s awesome to see their curiosity and enthusiasm. Today has been the busiest for young visitors out of the past four days. Here are some images:

This little one sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to this sculpture as soon as she saw it!! (I swear it really happened, kids are hilarious!)

This is a little too much touching!
