King for a day - Equator Arts Project

This exhibition runs from 30th May 2014 to 22nd June 2014.



It's a group exhibition featuring 7 invited artists recommended by locally based artists whom Tony Godfrey contacted. The criteria was up to 3 years post graduation from art school, be it Dip, BFA or MFA.

The 7 artists are Filip Gudovic, Kray Chen, Victoria Aravindhan, Godwin Koay, Lau Eng Seng, May Lim and Bach Zainol.

The more interesting pieces would be:

1. Filip Gudovic's painting entitled Humanoid chewing gum. Nice abstract piece. As mentioned in the post on Departure, Filip Gudovic is an abstract artist to watch.

2. Kray Chen's video art: I will still be climbing the next time you come back. Kray is a brilliant video artist. This one is from his exercise series. His other 'food' series and the queuing up series of videos are excellent. Definitely passes the one minute test.

3. Lau Eng Seng's series of pictures of new buildings and a negative white space representing the old buildings juxtaposed against the new. To bring to mind urban changes.

In addition to the main exhibits, the 7 artists are given 2 days to use the galleries' project room  to present their own solo project.

Points for collectors: Good to go and see these artists that are just starting out. More an entertaining exhibition for the artists and the art faculties.
