Route to KL Biennale 2020 tour highlights community arts

KOTA BHARU, Sept 20 -- The National Visual Arts Development Board has taken an initiative to uplift the community arts nationwide through a tour programme dubbed Route to Biennale 2020 (RTB2020) since August.

Its deputy director-general Amerrudin Ahmad said RTB2020 was held in conjunction with the second edition of country's largest visual arts festival, Kuala Lumpur Biennale 2020 (KLB 2020) scheduled for next year, aimed at putting Malaysia as a unique and exciting art tourism destination.

“The RTB2020 programme started in August with Kuala Lumpur as its the first location followed by Penang.

“Next, for the eastern zone, it will be held on Oct 19 at Kampung Pulau Gajah, Pengkalan Chepa Kelantan, before being brought to Muar, Johor; Langkawi Island, Labuan Island and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah,” he told Bernama after chairing the KLB 2020 eastern zone tour programme meeting here yesterday.

He said the approach for the festival’s second edition was more inclusive in terms of locations, compared to the first edition which took place at the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur.

He said the change was made so that more members of the community could enjoy the event.

Amerrudin also explained that the event could serve as an added value in promoting local culture through different programmes such as exhibitions, demonstrations, local arts and cultural activities.

“For instance, the object and decorations of a traditional boat called ‘Perahu Kolek’ from Kelantan will be highlighted during the eastern zone programme. In addition, traditional performing arts including ‘Dikir Barat’ and ‘Rebana Ubi’ will also be promoted, as well as craft-making demonstrations,” he said.

He added that efforts to preserve local culture and heritage were important, not only to help maintaining the identity of a community, but could also provide potential source of income for the locals.

Preserving the local arts and cultural heritage could also help to popularise a specific location as a preferred tourist destination, he added.

River bank to be turned into open-air 'art gallery'

Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz (left) and National Visual Arts chairman Datuk Mahadzir Lokman.

KUALA LUMPUR: Art lovers have more reason to rejoice as Malaysia is set to have more outdoor space to showcase works of local artists.

Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said plans were afoot to transform part of the Gombak riverbank behind the Ministry's office here into an art space.

"When I met the Prime Minister two days ago, he suggested we have an open space for local artists to display their work. "Once the River of Life project to clean up the river here is done, the space behind my office here will be turned into Malaysia's own Bayswater," he said in reference to the street in London known for its thriving art community. The project, he said, is expected to be completed by year-end.

Speaking at the Young Contemporaries Award 2013 presentation ceremony at the National Visual Arts Gallery here Wednesday, Mohamed Nazri also said the gallery will soon be known by its original name, the National Art Gallery. "This is to reflect the various forms of art that are exhibited within the gallery, which is not just in visual form," he added.

At the ceremony, seven outstanding young Malaysian artists received the award under seven categories. The biennial award, which has been given out since 1974, recognises Malaysian artists below 40 who produce uniquely expressive works of art.

The grand prize is a cash prize of RM20,000 and an artistic trip to an Asean country, and another five jury special awards come with a RM5,000 cash prize each. There is also the Visitors' Choice Award, with a RM2,000 cash prize.

Among the famous names who have been recipients of the award are Ponirin Amin, Awang Damit Ahmad and Lee Kian Seng. All 28 works submitted for the award are open for public viewing at the gallery until March 31.
