“Embrace the Unknown” Inside Out 2 | Until 30 June 2024| The Exchange TRX Mall | Free public installation
This June, get ready to reconnect with your inner child and explore your emotions at “Embrace the Unknown,” an art installation by award-winning Malaysian artist, Pamela Tan. The art installation on the Ground floor (MRT Plaza Entrance) is inspired by the upcoming Pixar film Inside Out 2 and reflects Tara’s personal journey towards emotional acceptance, enriched by nuances of her childhood.
She uses the film’s characters, Joy and Anxiety, to symbolise the dual forces of stability and disruption within the human psyche. Robust, yellow metal structures that embody Joy’s strength, contrasted with chaotic orange strings that depict Anxiety’s tumultuous influence, help to mirror the complexities of life and also challenge societal norms that equate emotional restraint with virtue.
Inventory of Intimacies | Until 23 June 2024 | The Zhongshan Building | Free public event
Inventory of Intimacies is a group exhibition featuring three emerging Malaysian artists – Ang Xia Yi, Cheong See Min, and Nia Khalisa – working with textiles. It’s open to the public until 23 June.
The artists use a range of textile and fibre mediums including pictorial patchwork quilting, weaving, and batik drawings to record time and history on an intimate scale against the backdrop of grander social narratives.
This Saturday, the artist talk starts from 3pm to 4pm at The Changing Room while the Opening Reception starts from 5pm onwards at The Backroom KL.
