7 Things to do this weekend: 25 & 26 March 2023

Ramadan has officially begun, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the city has quietened down. On the contrary, KL continues to buzz with exhibitions, bazaars and happenings to keep your weekends productive and fulfilling. Here are seven things worth adding to your calendar to cap off March:

 

1. Discover ‘The World of Tim Burton’ at Pavilion Bukit Jalil

For the first time ever, legendary filmmaker Tim Burton is bringing the world tour of his world-renowned exhibition to Southeast Asia—right here in Kuala Lumpur! The World of Tim Burton exhibition will take visitors on a journey through his distinctive worlds, with approximately 540 works dating back to his childhood. There will be 10 themed sections featuring drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, moving-image works, and sculptural installations focusing on the recurrent visual themes and motifs found in Burton’s art and films. Needless to say, visitors will be in for a spooky, morbid yet undeniably fascinating experience with plenty of Instagram-worthy moments!

When: 18 March to 19 April 2023 | Wednesday to Sunday, 12PM to 6PM

Where: The Backroom KL, The Zhongshan Building

In an introspective mood this weekend? Head over to The Backroom KL to check out a solo art exhibition by Gan Siong King, a mid-career homegrown artist whose works have been showcased in residencies and galleries all around the world. Titled ‘Pictures of Things’, the exhibition explores his recent paintings that serve as mediums for communication and meaning. 

“It is a memory of an exhibition I had wanted to make in those early months of the pandemic in 2020. Quiet, not loud. [The exhibition] should feel like a crisp blank piece of A4 paper. A space that the audience can use as a mirror and project whatever is in their heads,” Gan explains.
