ON THE WAY ART EXHIBITION

Wednesday night at Seksan's artspace in Bangsar Baru...8 young artists working at Gudang presenting paintings, installation, video, performance.

Seksan is a landscape architect who splits this lovely space as an office/contremporary art venue. Everything open...the whole space breathes...Tess fell in love with the outdoor showers. There's fish in the pond, cacti squatting in caged grid enclosures, hardly a closed wall to be found.

Food + drink was late and the crowd ambled hesitantly till makan came. Seksan is a very zen guy - long hair, drawstring loose trousers, shooting pics the whole time. Has an amazing retreat just 50 mins out of KL...check his work (and the retreat) at:
