KALEIDOSCOPE JAPAN: ONLINE EXHIBITION


28 MARCH → 24 APRIL 2022 12:00 — 25:00 DAILY (GMT +8)


 * Foreword
   
   Kaleidoscope Japan is an online exhibition that reflects the artists’
   personal perceptions and hopes of Japan and its relationship with Malaysia.
   The exhibition, planned during the pandemic, was meant to be showcased fully
   online, but with the situation easing, new elements to the exhibition have
   been added. All 13 selected artworks, created by artists based in Malaysia,
   were picked by a panel of juries who are experts in the art arena. Completed
   artworks were created in various forms including visual art, moving/static
   images, film, music, performing arts, literature and architecture. It is
   hoped that everyone will enjoy this exhibition, and do share your thoughts
   and feedbacks before clicking away from the website.

 * Curator's Note
   
   Most of us have embraced the virtual world as our extended reality from the
   two-years long pandemic. While access to virtual events outside of our
   locality is great, we learn to appreciate physical meetups even more now. We
   are indeed missing the human interactions.
   
   Kaleidoscope Japan: Online Exhibition features varied conversations
   surrounding Malaysia-Japan created by artists of different ranges with
   underlying observations on our social, cultural, political and economical
   climate.
   
   With 24/7 access to the internet wherever we are globally, this website opens
   only 13 hours a day. Starting with Week 1: Pandang Ke Mana?; Week 2:
   Identity; Week 3: Myth and Phenomenon; until Week 4: Spatial Memory. A series
   of events is planned on virtual and physical sites to provide space for
   interactions. We will first celebrate the exhibition with a hybrid
   pre-launch/ free jamming, then dive into each artist's narrative in small
   groups during the online Obento Lunch Tour (non-video work), Oshaberi Supper
   Tour (video-based work) as well as watch a 12-hour durational hybrid
   performance.
   
   While we wonder what truly makes ‘Malaysia’ or ‘Japan’, our similarities
   prevail as differences dissolve in this exhibition. In the end, it is not
   just about Pandang Timur (Looking East), but more importantly pandang diri
   kita sendiri (self-reflect).
