27.8.2005 -  Shows ending - New stuff - Stuff I've been up to

The distant sound of Tunku shouting 'Merdeka!' being played in Merdeka ads these days brings a tear to my eye. Sorta like whenever I see Aung San Suu Kyi speak on television. What a far cry (pun unintended) from the nauseating flags seen hanging and floating from the Angkasapuri building. I can't even describe it. Have you seen this?? It's lunatic
.

Speaking of madness, the 5-day notthatbalai fest may have come and gone, but the visual art exhibition runs until Sept 10. I will be reviewing this event with Sharon Chin on kakiseni soon. Meanwhile, read a little something about the fest on malaysiakini.

Please make your way to Townhouse Gallery this week. There is a good exhibition of abstract paintings by Hamidi Abdul Hadi. My favourites are Foetus, Embryo and Seed.

Come September, Rumah Air Panas will be hosting a series of talks by arts-people, myself included. You're invited to come to my talk on Sept 16 2005. More details will be up as soon as RAP gets out a press release.

The beloved Edge pullout, Off The Edge, goes solo this month onwards. It will no longer be sold with The Edge newspaper. How exciting!
