"YMA II is an exhibition initiated by Galeri Petronas to celebrate young artists. New Objection is a collective effort to create artwork that are free from any form of restrictions, regulations or barriers. ... This annual event is a thematic exhibition which highlights 20 young Malaysian artists who engage in a 'self-referential' relationship with new technologies to discover the 'self' in making contemporary transformation determined by technological developments - new media. ... These artists will exhibit objects resulting from the reflection of cultural and social events that could be considered as contesting with the traditional media ... despite the opinion that defends the new media art as similar to other contemporary art practices." (Galeri Petronas brochure)

The above two mix media art installations were my favourites, but the one that fascinated me (and also it seems, our youthful minister KJ who officiated the opening of this 2-month exhibition in October) was 'Fatal Attraction'. Not the gory, 'scary' movie-lah but ... a bra shark! A what shark? (To be continued ... in my next blog post.)
Note: For a professional/expert review, there is a very interesting write-up on this exhibition by Lucien de Guise entitled, 'All about new idioms', in the New Straits Times, 1 December 2013.
