oh finally a reply. Yay! haha that's kinda true

that's true
in malaysia it's more like a survival game
I've been to oversea twice Madrid n London- attended some international exhibition and conference & I can say that even the mentality of the public there towards art is like completely opposite comparing to malaysian haha

Whaaat you remember me?! Hit a low.. I don't think so.. i think my journey has always been high and low and high and low.. like a ship sailing in a rough open sea lmao.

btw I just had my own solo exhibition months ago sponsored by nandos.

Reason for me to start this thread? I just feel that this section is kinda queit, more like a Q&A section HAHA in fact it has always been since 2012/2013
Graduating? as long as you know what u want or what you're doing u shud be fine.. just go with the flow lah

lol... i have no idea abt architecture but if u are paying attention in class and still duno the heck is malaysian architecture perhaps prob because malaysia is still 'young'? 54 years- of history n comapring to like europe etc is not enuf just saying .. i think we still hv our own identity as malaysian in some way of course, but on art .. maybe its not that deep yet? or deep rooted. or m I lacking ofknoweldge/education on these area?

kan.. i know right.. non profit organisation is tough t osurvive la in malaysia. plus need to have connection here and there with government agency etc somemore.. if f up then gone case

sometimes i feel like art in local scene is more like a method for company to fulfil their CSR. just like those art annd photo competitions.. i dont think their main motive or aim is to like push or discover talent etc haha
maybe its a balance la but weird feels like corporate world r sustainign the art scene here, if one day no money comes in from those big corps then the art scene dead? can't the art scene here survive or stand on their own..? maybe its more tough because of public perception twoards art (crowd funding etc. hard. ppl dun wanna spend on art/design. thinking they r always cheap). lacking of proper channels/funding .

btw im not the expert here- feels free to correct me if im wrong

i guess im lucky with my decision n choice then.
I was in science stream during high school, suffered but aced
then i got myself a scholarship and went to do art related stuff instead in my uni, all relative say im crazy but i have no regerts up until now.

but you're right, parents mentality and school education system mentality r really like this in malaysia. sucks v

haha that's true.
but sad thing is that the clients always opt for chepeast option and some designer or students out there are like killing the market too.
but what to say, ppl can say its competitive pricing.. but in the end for client is u get what u pay la haha

the vibe here is so down and discouraging hahaha, im outta here seriously bye guys
