Where: CIMB Artober, Booth 2, MITEC, Kuala Lumpur
When: 5 – 28 October 2023
The ‘Swallow + Spit’ exhibit comprises a wide array of art that represents different landscapes. It is inspired by Karel van Mander’s statement that to represent a landscape, an artist should do two things: swallow and spit.
Explore the works of wonderful Southeast Asian artists who deliberately play with mediums like polaroids, postcards, and maps, or hold to the shapes and textures of nature. Regardless, they all hold the same objective—to bring light to the ideas surrounding control and consumption.
