MappingKLArtSpace
MappingKLArtSpace is in effect a mapping project of art spaces in the city of
Kuala Lumpur. It continually maps the various exhibition spaces, art agencies
and also sites of public art, past and present. It is a historical documentary
presented in a flat, sterile, spatially represented manner.
As part of the Migration Addict project this time, MappingKLArtSpace explores
also the context of its existence - the mapping project itself having been
featured in Kuala Lumpur and Havana in 2006, is now in Venice,creating a visible
trajectory of its movement across the world.
It is also interesting to note that Migration Addicts is itself a migratory
project. It has moved from Shanghai in 2005 to Singapore in 2006, before coming
to Venice this year. They were all places of trades of commodities, of dynamism,
of exchange, of convergence of cultures.
