The Project
Berita Harian 2 was an exhibition curated by Zaki Razak. I was pulled in to design the exhibition catalogue. Below's a write-up on the exhibition.
"Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore (ICAS) presents the sequel to Berita Harian 2003, Berita Harian 2 – Utusan Melayu; the surreal, the contemporeal, the cosmoreal. The seminal exhibition which was curated by Khairuddin Hori in 2003 is deemed at present as a ‘point of departure’ for contemporary Malay art – an avant-garde representation of Malay artists who dealt with issues of identity, the intersection of communities and ethnographical stereotypes. Berita Harian 2 – Utusan Melayu; the surreal, the contemporeal, the cosmoreal is also an attempt to initiate a legacy of artistic platforms reflective to the study of ‘Malayness’.
An event-based exhibition taking place from 12 January to 5 February 2010, Berita Harian 2 – Utusan Melayu; the surreal, the contemporeal, the cosmoreal features nine ‘progressive’ contemporary Malay artists of various disciplines selected by curator, Zaki Razak. The exhibition aims to explore alternative means of artistic productions, convey enquiries in regards to anthropology of ‘Melayu’ and project issues that are deemed as taboos by the ‘Malay’ society." - http://www.substation.org/beritaharian2/
