#Repost @artomovement with @make_repost ・・・ "After 28 Years, Galeri Petronas shuts down in KLCC due to the Pandemic". This is the headline that appeared on 3rd May 2021 on Lifestyle section of The Star (refer this link for it,https://www.thestar.com.my/lifestyle/culture/2021/05/03/after-28-years-galeri-petronas-shuts-down-in-klcc-due-to-the-pandemic). It is such a great loss for the Malaysian art scene. Galeri Petronas has been with us for the past 28 years, a year younger than most of us in ARTO. When a gallery shuts it operation, it is really a heavy blow to us, in a sense where artists loose another venue to exhibit, academicians, historians, loose another place of learning and research and to us the art enthusiasts, another gallery to visit. We remember among the project that we did was a AMxKLSN; a collaboration with @klsketchnation where we conduct our art tour; #ARToHopping and followed by #sketchwalk by KLSN. What are your best memory at @galeripetronas? Do share with us in the comment down below.

projekkoyak: diskusi at seni on live ig session

Dua hari lalu telah berlangsung satu program bicara kesenian anjuran kerjasama kolaborasi projek koyak bersama artomovement dan satu lagi komuniti gerakan alternatif tak silap aku, yang aku lupa namanya (boleh check semula nanti, ianya dijalankan secara virtual di live ig projek koyak bersama akaun-akaun seniman jemputan. Jemputan ini kami terima dalam bulan lepas di mana projek koyak menjemput aku melalui dm ig. aku rasa honour dan berterima atas peluang ini kerana rasanya ini kali pertama tawaran di bicara kesenian dan diundang sebagai terma artist. sebelum ini banyak undangan acara diterima sebagai persembahan puisi dan jemputan show. aha! walaupun aku tak tahu sangat nak bercakap secara mendalam perihal ilmu seni halus dan paling tidaknya bila ia menjurus kepada pemikiran ideologi kerja abstrak aku secara literal namun ianya satu tindakan berani untuk aku berdepan masyarakat sebagai potret ke landskap sosial yang dinamakan seniman. ringkasnya, aku sedang berlatih bercakaplah! PROJEK KOYAK turut menjemput tiga lagi rakan seniman iaitu Syukur Rani, Ajim Juxta dan Zulkefli Jais. Selaku tuan rumah atau host pada malam itu dikendalikan oleh Fet Izzati yang merupakan rakan seperjuangan kami. Aku kira ianya malam yang sangat baik dan rapat sekali dengan panel dan audiens kerana dilakukan dengan rakan-rakan seperjuangan tanpa kami rancang pun untuk sepkat menerima jemputan dan cuma berbekal dengan sedikit perbincangan bagi sedikit persediaan atau warm up! pada petang hari itu antara aku ijoy dan fet melalui mesej personal, beberapa jam sebelum acara dilangsungkan. lepastu sedang aku bersemangat untuk malam tu, tiba-tiba “pappp!* kipas terpadam. oh shit aku lupa hari ni notis blackout diberikan kelmarin untuk kerja penambahbaikan elektrik di kawasan rumah. kahkah nasiblah tak ambil masa lama untuk hidup semula!

Oh ya, eloklah aku perkenalkan barisan line up seniman kita pada acara malam itu. sebab aku perhatikan juga projekkoyak ni tak ada content writer ke? sebab dari segi pengendalian deskripsi dan proses penganjuran agak kelaut. maaflah ya, aku bertanya sahaja. nasiblah pihak arto sempat membuat pos di laman twitter dengan sedikit deskripsi ringkas berkenaan seniman dan acara tersebut. sejuk sikit hati. kahkah!

Kita mulakan dengan Syukur Rani, yang akan mengambil slot pertama jam 9 malam, Diskusi At Seni membawakan: 1. Syukur Rani; seorang seniman kontemporer yang menghasilkan karya-karya pop surealis yang mempesonakan. Beliau yang juga salah seorang daripada seniman di U12.  Fulltime artist/painter. Member of Studio Atas and P.E.D.U people collective.

Slot kedua, oh aku sendiri, yang mesra dengan nama

2. Zalwana Jay; di media sosial, dan cukup kuat dengan panggilan Zal sahaja. Seniman muda dengan elemen abstrak dan suka bermain dengan puisi. dan di deskripsi rantai art sempat tercatat biografi ringkas artist profile “Freelance creative production and community, mingle and thrilled in my abstraction of thinking and life development.”

Bagi slot ketiga Diskusi At Seni, Projek Koyak membawakan

3. Ajim Juxta; seorang seniman kontemporer Malaysia. Ajim Juxta merupakan salah seorang pengasas bagi kolektif seni TitikMerah. A Visual artist/lyricist. Been active as an artist since 2009 & have exhibited his work in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, China & UK. His art is a mix of abstract painting, conceptual art and surrealism.

Seniman ke 4 dan terakhir yang akan berkongsi ialah

4. Zulkefli Jais; seniman muda yang aktif menghasilkan karya-karya konsepsual secara persendirian dan juga berkumpulan bersama kolektifnya iaitu Markaz.  Mostly his work consist of hybrid concept, from collage, performance art, site specific work, sculpture & video art. Concept of art basically exploring the terms of post conceptual art approach in which is directly using the philosophy of "art as an idea as idea".

Selepas Syukur Rani, aku siap menerima jemputan live oleh projek koyak di ig. Betul-betul sharp ya 9:45 kalau tak salah aku. Tahniah host! hehe. Semasa sesi aku dijalankan, aku mahu lebih tertumpu pada terma dan konteks “creative production and community” sebab itulah yang aku sedang pergiatkan. Namun Fet lebih licik untuk menarik aku kepada topik perbualan khusus kepada konteks aku sebagai seorang artist, atau lebih tepat untuk aku perbetulkan lagi sikit “young artist” jadi, aku pun akur. Selepas aku sempat bercerita dan rumuskan sedikit sebanyak pandangan tentang apa yang sudah melanda, aku terus pergi kepada landskap artist pula. Secara general dan surface, aku banyak berdiri dengan karya abstrak dan sebagai seorang pemuisi, (katanya). aku cuba trace semula soalan, antaranya ialah: 1. Penerangan terhadap karya?

2. Apa medium / material yang dipakai? 3. Sejauh apa puisi mempengaruhi karya abstrack Zal? 4. Adakah ekspresi Zal semasa menulis puisi / berpuisi sama seperti ketika Zal bekarya? 5. Kenapa Zal bekarya? 6. Adakah pandemik yang melanda mempengaruh kerja seni dan bagaimana? 7. Apa yang membuatkan Zal pergi ke abstract thinking?

Seperti yang dikatakan diawal-awal tadi, ini tak silap aku kali pertama aku berdepan masyarakat dalam bicara seni, dan jarang sekali aku timbul bercakap banyak tentang progress body of artwork; iaitu abstract. Dan semestinya, banyak lompongnya! Justeru, aku tampilkan semula dalam bentuk write up dan penulisan supaya ianya dapat kekal diabadikan sebagai hari yang baik yang telah kita buat!

------------------------------------------------------------

Ajim Juxta;

sebagai seorang artis, ianya tidak menjadi suatu kekangan untuk terjun kepada mana-mana bentuk praktis dalam seni seperti sketsa, lukisan, teater, penulisan dan lain-lain namun Ajim tidak mendefinisikan dirinya secara literal ataupun singular walaupun umum ketahui beliau sebagai abstract artist. Ajim juga banyak melakukan multitask artwork seperti design, lyrics and composing.

Ajim memberi pendapat bahawa dalam konteks isu semasa ini iaitu diambang pandemik covid19, ianya berkait dengan konsep relativiti dalam masa. Virus pandemik telah mencetuskan kejutan pada setiap orang dalam meneruskan kehidupan dengan norma baru dan sebagai seorang artis, kami harus lebih bertindak flexible dalam mengekalkan momentum fiskal dan akal fikir. Kami harus bergaul dengan new norma baru buat sementara waktu dimana semuanya berbentuk virtual dan bergaul dengan platform yang baru ini di mana artis harus kekal bekarya, beraktiviti dan menonjol secara digital. Jika di luar tidak memberi peluang pada kita, jadi kita harus memberi peluang pada diri sendiri.

Large-Scale Exome Sequencing Study Implicates Both Developmental and Functional Changes in the Neurobiology of Autism.

Large-Scale Exome Sequencing Study Implicates Both Developmental and Functional Changes in the Neurobiology of Autism.

Cell. 2020 Jan 23;:

Authors: Satterstrom FK, Kosmicki JA, Wang J, Breen MS, De Rubeis S, An JY, Peng M, Collins R, Grove J, Klei L, Stevens C, Reichert J, Mulhern MS, Artomov M, Gerges S, Sheppard B, Xu X, Bhaduri A, Norman U, Brand H, Schwartz G, Nguyen R, Guerrero EE, Dias C, Autism Sequencing Consortium, iPSYCH-Broad Consortium, Betancur C, Cook EH, Gallagher L, Gill M, Sutcliffe JS, Thurm A, Zwick ME, Børglum AD, State MW, Cicek AE, Talkowski ME, Cutler DJ, Devlin B, Sanders SJ, Roeder K, Daly MJ, Buxbaum JD

Abstract We present the largest exome sequencing study of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to date (n = 35,584 total samples, 11,986 with ASD). Using an enhanced analytical framework to integrate de novo and case-control rare variation, we identify 102 risk genes at a false discovery rate of 0.1 or less. Of these genes, 49 show higher frequencies of disruptive de novo variants in individuals ascertained to have severe neurodevelopmental delay, whereas 53 show higher frequencies in individuals ascertained to have ASD; comparing ASD cases with mutations in these groups reveals phenotypic differences. Expressed early in brain development, most risk genes have roles in regulation of gene expression or neuronal communication (i.e., mutations effect neurodevelopmental and neurophysiological changes), and 13 fall within loci recurrently hit by copy number variants. In cells from the human cortex, expression of risk genes is enriched in excitatory and inhibitory neuronal lineages, consistent with multiple paths to an excitatory-inhibitory imbalance underlying ASD.

NORMAN HAKIM

Born in Kota Tinggi, Johor, Norman Hakim grew up in KL for the most part of his life. This 22 years old artist has been blessed to be surrounded by lovely and wonderful multiracial community. Norman for short is currently pursuing his Bachelor Degree in Fine Art.

Norman is known among his peers and family to be an abstract painter. Norman started to fall in love with abstract art when he realized that the form of art is able to capture the emotions that he felt during the making process. To him, the starting was very vague, but in the end of the whole journey, Norman would be able to tell if the artworks are finished or not.

Again, Norman emphasis that his artworks are the reflection of his emotions, how deeply they are affecting him whether is it positive or negative. One of the main directions that he is taking in every painting that he did is to create a sort of seamless with no visible beginning nor ending.

POWPOWVAL x Ravin

VALERY KOH (POWPOWVAL)

Valery Koh, born in the year 1995 characterized herself as somewhat quirky, funny, emotional and clumsy. These traits can be seen in her arts. Analog and digital mixed-media collages are her truest form of self-expression. For Valery, collages can be said as ‘the coming together of somewhat or completely discrete pieces as a mediator of a story’. YouTube’s tutorials are the medium for her to learn the art of collages. She started with copying digital collages found on Tumblr and later she started to create her own. Valery started doing collages as a means to kill her time, but later Valery found that she has dedicated her time in making this art. It is no more a hobby but something she is very passionate to do so. Being a traveller and thrifter inspired her to incorporate the elements of nature, vintage and hand-me-down materials in her collages. For Valery, hand-me-down materials have a story to be told and it is what she is currently exploring and expanding. She also believes that mixed-media is among the best medium of storytelling – how each and every single medium can bring different visual elements to the artwork. She is currently exploring themes related to self-exploration, nature and memories. Valery hopes that in the nearest future, her artworks can expand beyond just herself.

Shan Shan Lim

A graduate from Central Saint Martins University of Arts London, Shan Shan Lim is a multidisciplinary artist and designer. She is currently based in Kuala Lumpur. Shan Shan draws her inspiration from a spectrum of cultures ranging from her childhood in Malaysia and India through her student’s years at Central Saint Martins. During her student’s years, Shan had the opportunity to intern under Roksanda Ilinčić on her Spring 2016 RTW Collection. Shan is at her most comfortable when she is expressing her creative voice through the usage of arts. Shan spent a lot of her childhood reflecting on her existence and observing the world around her. She questions her purpose in life. Each and every time Shan Shan manifests her vision, the sense of belonging and peace grew larger inside her. For Shan Shan, the similarities between us are something that needs to be hyped - not the things that set us apart, because at the end of the day, we are all a human beings and similarities are what make us whole.
