DAZED IN MAZES

This November, Valentine Willie Fine Art, Kuala Lumpur is proud to present DAZED IN MAZES featuring new works by four young and emerging local artists, Haslin Ismail, Ruzzeki Harris, Sarip Rahman and Tey Beng Tze. These artists will be showcasing works that are fundamentally raw and edgy, playing with a wide range of metaphors and working across various media, from paintings to installations to the experimentation with materials.

Their works question the idea of existence and intend to represent the voice of the people of their generation, lending a spectrum of interpretations and perspectives whether by means of proclamation, documentation, or visual discourse. Besides broaching on the subject of sociology they are also addressing their concerns for the environment, their surroundings and contemporary issues that are plaguing the society and the country.

Date:4th-21st November 2009
Venue:Valentine Willie Fine Art,1st Floor, 17 Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru,Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

動力青年嘉年華

Youth For Change Carnival
动力青年嘉年华

根据大马选委会在2006年发布的统计数字,在48万符合资格的选民中,大约有超过70%年龄介于2135岁的人士尚未登记。
然而,随着国内政治气候的变化,年轻一代已开始关注政经文教领域所发生的事件,从而建立起对人权、个人安全和环境保护的强烈意识。
选民登记是作为合法公民所应履行的责任,同时也能加强社会的民主建设与发展。然而选民登记的程序与步骤对许多年轻人来说是相当乏味和沉闷的,因而让他们产生抗拒的心态。“动力青年嘉年华”将尝试以更具创意和趣味的方式改变年轻朋友们对选民登记活动所持有的刻板印象。
“动力青年嘉年华”将邀请多位本地的音乐人与团体参与其盛,其中包括来自马六甲的创作型歌手IKA、作品在日本颇受欢迎的电子音乐人“司徒毅城”以及BittersweetLiyana FiziCoupleRobot AsmaraRezaSallehSeven Collar T-Shirt等国内著名的独立乐团。另外,由三位年轻学院生所组成的Sound Rhythm Beatbox将会在当日为大家展现精彩绝伦的Beatbox技巧。
除了上述的表演外,“动力青年嘉年华”也将增设创意市集和画展,来自艺术学院的学生和设计爱好者将展示风格多元和充满趣味的艺术作品,包括服装、模型、玩具和漫画等。而本地艺术单位FINDARS的数位画家也将于当天展出他们一系列杰出的作品。
同时,主办单位也邀请了最近在国内和釜山电影节获得佳评如潮的15MALAYSIA导演们于现场播放他们的短片,并将在现场与观众们交流。而本地的多位艺人、著名部落客也将抽空出席,以实际行动响应这项活动。
最後,电子音乐人Silent Keat将在当晚为观众播放一连串节奏强劲和充满动感的舞曲,让出席者能透过音乐释放热情。“动力青年嘉年华”希望透过音乐、影像、时尚和创意去鼓励更多年轻人参与选民登记的活动,而不是政治。

Youth For Change Carnival

A frequently cited statistic from 2006 stated that 70% of the 4.7 million Malaysians yet to register as voters are aged between 21 and 35 years.
At the same time, the young people of the Klang Valley are becoming increasingly concerned about social and political issues, from the environment to education, human rights to personal safety.
Registering to vote is an important step to entering adulthood and taking responsibility for the society in which we live in. Unfortunately, voter registration is usually a dull and boring affair, making it easier for the young to brush their duty aside. The Youth For Change Carnival aims to change that.
With performances by top Malaysian independent musicians such as Bittersweet, Couple, Liyana Fizi, Robot Asmara, Reza Salleh, Ika and many more, the Youth For Change Carnival aims to draw in thousands of youths from around the Klang Valley. At the carnival, those who have yet to register to vote will be able to do so easily at attractively designed booths, while standing a chance to win numerous prizes as well as freebies.
In addition to live music, the Youth For Change Carnival will also feature a mini flea market showcasing creative fashion and art by young designers. As part of the day's festivities, short films made by young Malaysian filmmakers will be screened, including the popular 15Malaysia shorts that have been a hit on the Internet. Popular young actors, musicians, artists and bloggers will also be meeting their fans at the carnival.
Above all, the aim of the Youth For Change Carnival is to bring the young people of the Klang Valley together to enjoy fun, healthy and creative day that will also leave them empowered. The purpose might be to attract the young to register to vote, but we plan to do it with music, movies and fashion, not politics.

Evil is all around

Choo Kok Choon solo art exhibition
*Exhibition Opening: 8pm, 24th Oct 2009 (Sat)
54, Jln Taman Seputeh 3, Taman Seputeh, 58000 KL.

Welcome all!

About artist:
Choo Kok Choon (born 1980), currently living and working in Johor Bahru. This is his first solo exhibtion in Kuala Lumpur, that presents his 2009 new series - "Du-Lan Man" and some of his unique life drawing. Kok Choon's artworks is about his horrible thoughts and feeling in everyday life. He tried to figure out the discrepancy between strong and weak, the threatening around us. The word "Du-Lan Man" is from one of the Chinese dialect, means "man of hatred". He intend to depict the dangers and tragedy which could possibly happens in our country, and even to us innocent peasants. We are indeed trapped in a horrible place!

朱国俊,毕业于澳洲塔斯马尼亚大学纯美科系,主修绘画;
回 国后持续不断埋首于他艰辛的创作中。由于国俊有视障问题,视力无法集中,只能用其微弱的视力来辨别描绘,所以在创作的大小上有所侷限。然而,他却将其集中 力堆积在脑里,再浑身解数地释放在画笔上。他怪诞的谬想有意无意地揭露市井小民的抑郁与悲哀。并将真实的自我毫无保留地摊开在画面上。这种混合了幻想与现 实,黑色鬼魅的手法虽每每在揭开自己心里的苦闷与恐惧,却也同时向这世界提出了质疑。

2009年的最新力作-小不点人物 "Du-Lan Man"。此文来自中文方言,带有“厌恶”之意。此创作主题在于表现我们身处于国内所受到的生活危害与灾难的威胁,尤其画家所居住的城市新山,无辜老百姓 们生活在惶恐当中与别无选择地面对。笔下的Du-Lan Man孤立无援,寂寞惶恐;时而手持枪械,是为攻击抑或防卫?既强悍又脆弱,既矛盾又坚持。黑色太阳笼罩大地,受委屈的小小路人着黑色衣服,画家朱国俊所 描绘的灰暗面一再表现其生活的无力感,却又可看出他对生活的执著。

Citizen of Ice Cream

Phang on Synth,
Hwang on Guitar,
Choy/Ray on Bass,
Aziz on Drum beats & Trumpet

If all that you wish to achieve, all that you desire, all that you wish would happen, transform as a whole to an ice-cream. And as you think you could take just one bite of it, it melts. And so you wish, hope and dream endlessly, until all your frustrations and hopes give presence to another fictional, beautiful, sweet ice-cream-like dream...

Let frustration be your drive, let the "ice-cream" be all that you hope for, even if you "know" it's impossible, "believe" is the reason you dwell, the excuse for your devotion.

Hopes and desires make us "Citizens of Ice-Cream".

动态度之联合出击6

music reunion 6
联合出击再次长驱直入Urban Attic,不经不觉已经来到第六届,由03年开始,每一年都在一个不一样的背景下举办,(回顾)

* 第一届是一场意义上要和英文场景/马来场景进行交流的演出,
* 第二场是首次进入金河商场,更不知天高地厚以满腔热诚进行3天的演出,却未考虑到大声浪在商场引起的反效果,而遭到斩腰。
* 带着满肚子不忿而在几个月后再次在首都剧场举办第三届,在众多朋友支持下,群众达到前所未有的高出席率!
* 第四届首次引入国外DJ,与Silent Party一起合作,缔造了一场醉生梦死的年底倒数派对。
* 第五届却碍于地点不适当,陷入联合出击首个低潮,虽然槟城的Oracle能够为现场掀起微小的骚动,却后劲不足。

后来联合出击系列让位于动态度音乐节,逐渐朝向较大型活动,忽略了小型演出,也忽略了那种与友相聚的片刻时光。回想起那种在守望相助的点滴,零距离的声浪 接触,简陋但异常真实的画面,这是小型音乐会才能赋予我们的。搁置多时的联合出击系列在动态度的旗帜下,再次燃烧,搜索国内精彩乐队,为来届动态度音乐节 增添更多资源,何乐而不为?卷土重来的联合出击将会在短期内以系列形式出击,有兴趣参与演出音乐朋友,请尽快将乐队个人资料电邮至dongtaidu@gmail.com或游览dongtaidu.blogspot.com获取详情。
