Exhibition Launch

Featuring performances by electro band Analogsix and their friends!
Founded in January 2007, Super Sunday is a graffiti collective well known for their spray paint masterpieces all over the city. Calling themselves urban graphic designers, they consist of four young, talented and street-wise Malaysian dudes with names like serious hiphop bands: Tha-B, The Kioue, The Damis, The A80's. Between them, they also do everything from murals to t-shirts to breakdancing. A month ago, this enterprising crew opened a little concept store in the LOT 10 Monorail station selling t-shirts and spray-painting equipment for those who wanna join them in their cause to take over the city.

This is their first exhibition. What happens when they bring their street cred indoors?

Robin Fox is a Melbourne based sound and visual artist currently working with live digital media in improvised, composed and installation settings. He creates audio-visual works for the cathode ray oscilloscope, which have been released on the DVD Backscatter (Synaesthesia Records).

"Most spectacularly, Robin Fox successfully visualized sound with his superb laser show. Think of an oscilloscope, think of the scene in the intensive care unit when the green fluro trace flattens out to a straight line. Now think of that line like a bolt from the proscenium wall across the audience multiplying as it describes an astonishing variety of planes, thanks to the dry ice machine and a couple of mirrors. Fox's use of an audio controlled laser projector to demonstrate the geometry of sound was as elegant as anything you might experience in a concert hall or gallery." – Penny Webb, The Age Newspaper 26/06/2007

GRANTS FOR GRABS

DEADLINE EXTENDED to Mar 15!

The Annexe Community Arts Initiative

The Annexe's Grants For Grabs is made possible by an inaugural donation of RM 50,000.00 by Fashion Inc's Mana Batik exhibition.

The Annexe at Central Market , which came into existence in January 2007, has become a space much loved for its accessibility, artist-audience interactivity and alternative nature. It hosts all manner of art form and expression and has attracted projects that are experimental, multidisciplinary and socially conscious. In an effort to help create an artistically aware and critical public, The Annexe also provides workshops that offer participants an avenue to gain new skills and perspectives, exchange views and express themselves. The Annexe's Grants For Grabs naturally follows this vision.

Funds up to a maximum of RM 15,000.00 per grant for art projects are available for art projects of all disciplines. Preference will be given to those that feature community arts exchange, sharing of knowledge and skills, and promote arts and social awareness.

Projects can take the form of:

  1. Community arts projects – exhibitions, performances, workshops with/about communities e.g. Indigenous artisans, persons with HIV, children in squatter areas etc
  2. Training and workshops – for the public or targeted groups
  3. Research & documentation of the arts
  4. New works in music, dance, theatre, writing, visual/performance art, multidisciplinary work
  5. Collaborations between artists and/or communities
  6. Others

Successful grantees are expected to provide:

  1. Interaction between the project and the public. This can be a lecture demo or workshop by the artist or the community with which the artist is working, to take place at The Annexe.
  2. Documentation of the project in written reports with accompanying photos, video documentary or publications.
  3. Exhibition/Performance is strongly encouraged. The Annexe should have the first right of refusal to host the event.
