A group of passionate people started The Silent Wall project to document the famous Pudu Jail murals. They managed to capture the entire wall before demolition works started, which they also recorded.

In their own words and images, they talk about the wall and what it means to them.

Different But Same in Wei-Ling Gallery presented current works by local practitioners who are pushing the boundaries of modern photography in Malaysia. While some works used straight photography to get their points across, others are more experimental in nature, adopting photographic strategies which are not specifically associated with the medium

Eyes Wide Open, a recent photography exhibition held at the Annexe Gallery, was an eye opener indeed. The exhibition features a small selection of works previously shown at the inaugural Singapore International Photography Festival 2008.

Exhibition Review: When was the last time contemporary Vietnamese Art was featured in its entirety in Kuala Lumpur? I must confess that I am no expert in Vietnamese contemporary art. In a way, I was looking forward to what this exhibition had to offer, in terms of contemporary practice. Man, was I blown away.

Jason Wee: Ruins – Captain’s Log Entries On Days With No End
06 May – 23 May 2009 @ Valentine Willie Fine Art

The Voyage To The Ends Of The World is an internalisation of the mythical heroic journey (think Joseph Campbell’s idea of the monomyth), using the photographic medium to convey the emotional weight associated with an abstract passage towards self discovery.

It has come to a point where I’m not sure if this exhibition is recognised solely as a platform for promoting the works of new Thai artists or that there’s an expectation that these artists would soon join the ranks of their predecessors to become the hot new thing in Thailand’s contemporary art scene. After all, the exhibtion is known to be a launch pad for the career of some of Thailand’s most well-known contemporary artists (Arin Roongjang, Porntaweesak Rimsakul, Yuree Kensakoo etc.). Reflecting on this, I reckon it does work both ways. And actually… why waste time doubting it anyway? It’s a good art project when you get right down to it.

“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)
