ABOUT ART IN THE CITYArt In The City aims to raise greater awareness of the local arts and cultural scene, striving to further propagate the notion of Kuala Lumpur towards a cultural and creative city. The campaign features a myriad of activities for Malaysians to enjoy, including public sculpture and installation works, a video competition, the Lucky Pao Market, a public art forum, and workshops.

Art In The City is a collaboration between CENDANA (Cultural Economy Development Agency) and Kuala Lumpur City Hall; and various strategic partners including local artists, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, as well as public and private stakeholders.

KEMENTERIANWILAYAHPERSEKUTUAN

The landscape and architecture of a city serve as relics of time, and without people populating them, that’s all they’ll ever be. With this year’s theme for Art In The City, I heART KL reintroduces you to Kuala Lumpur through the narratives of its plural histories that encourage us to rethink, relook, and re-evaluate our city.

Therefore, this year’s map highlights the role of art within the context of a growing nation. Art flows along with the times. Where public art of 20th-century Malaysia aspired to visualise the budding nation, what can contemporary public art say now about our present condition?

1937. In comes the clock tower. Designed by Arthur Oakley Coltman (UK) to commemorate the coronation of England’s King George VI, it is a symbol of modernity and the herald of progress within the commercial centre of the city. Through the years, the clock tower stands sentinel in silent observation; the square and the city pivoting and expanding outwards from this centre.

The Old Market Square and its time-keeping companion have remained faithful witnesses to Kuala Lumpur’s metamorphosis. Today, the square remains like a magnetic field—charged daily with the pulsing energy of the commuters passing through. This year’s Art In The City draws energy from the Old Market Square (now Medan Pasar) as the magnetic core to generate its theme, map, and programmes.

The Currency of Time

Before the clock tower, however, there was the Old Market Square, which has played a graceful host to various communities. From the secret society days of immigrants-turned-head-honchos such as Kapitan Yap Ah Loy (founder of the tin mining industry and the “influencer” of late 19th-century Kuala Lumpur), to the bustling days of banks, merchants, and traders peddling textiles and traditional medicines.

If art is self-expression, then public art is a topographical punctuation that reflects the consciousness of our society—a part of the landscape that is as alive as the people who move through it. Public art exists for reasons beyond mere decor; they attempt to represent the aspirations of a nation.

In the centre of Kuala Lumpur,there is a clock tower—keeping time.

SUBMISSION

They are located at the River of Life—which was so named because of its semblance to arteries, carrying the lifeblood of the city—in order to call our attention to one of the most pressing issues of our current times: the care for our rivers.

While a city is defined by its people and the land they inhabit, our land would not have evolved nor been of any interest to maritime trade were it not for our rivers. The artists of this year’s Selected Submissions have gravitated towards the River of Life, as if drawn by the same primordial spirit that drew the first settlers of Kuala Lumpur to the confluence; the same spirit that draws us all back to bodies of water.

The selection of works is a reminder of how essential our rivers are to us and that, as Gerrard Albert put it, “We do not own the river. The river owns us.”

All three Selected Submissions include site-specific activations and workshops in conjunction with their commission period, lasting till February 2020. The wider Art In The City 2019 campaign also features various programmes and activities such as the Lucky Pao Market on Jalan Raja, curated tours, and a public art forum and workshop.

Organised by CENDANA and Kuala Lumpur City Hall, the Selected Submissions and public art map for this year’s Art In The City were crafted with the research and curatorial input of Snow Ng Advisory & Projects.

Earlier this year, we sent out an open call for public art in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, to contribute new works that re-engage with the city.

Submissions that were selected all embody a sense of urgency, an anxiety to educate and raise awareness of current social and environmental issues.

Location:Sultan Abdul Samad Building Gardens

PUBLIC PROGRAMMES Various on-site activations throughout the commission period, including:

Art PerformancesWayang Pacak (Outdoor Cinema)AV Shows

The gramophone represents a bygone era, as technology moves forward and devices get smaller. But the gramophone also represented communality, as people would gather to listen to the latest records, enjoying the music together.

Wayang Tube was inspired by the gramophone. It integrates the old with the new through visual arts and music, while still retaining the aspect of communality. It brings entertainment to an area often overlooked by Kuala Lumpur’s citizens, the River of Life. The use of PVC pipes is based on the idea of the river’s flow — the pipes drawing attention to the adverse effects of the city’s poor waste management systems.

ABOUT THE ARTISTFilamen is a local art collective specialising in audio-visual technology. As advocates of working collaboratively, Filamen aims to provide a platform for fellow and emerging artists working with digital media, thus making it easier to navigate the confluence of art, design, and technology. They encourage enthusiasts to come together, connect, and collaborate whenever the opportunity arises. By doing so, it is their hope that new media technologies will become more integrated and be regarded more seriously within contemporary art.Wayang Tube was conceptualised by founder Abdul Shakir, co-founder Fariz Hanapiah, Firdaus Rahman, and Farhan Fathee.

This installation, set against Kuala Lumpur’s cityscape, has a threefold purpose: as a columbarium, a quiet archive of the city’s memories and sites that have been erased over time; as a safe house, for sharing and community-building; and as a response, disrupting common cultural aesthetics and perceptions in hopes of fostering meaningful dialogues.

The sculpture is created with laser-cut metal for its structure, interweaved with cotton threads. The entire form is meant to suggest something skeletal, fragile, and evanescent, similar to the ever-shifting, ever-fluid cityscape of Kuala Lumpur.

ABOUT THE ARTISTPamela Tan (b. 1991, Kuala Lumpur) is an architectural designer whose work embodies an interdisciplinary ethos. She is concerned with speculative ideas that seek the subtle unseen and unveil unknown delights, in all scales. She obtained her Masters in Architecture from the University of Greenwich in 2015, and was the recipient of the PAM-Tan Sri Ar Chan Sau Lai Award in 2016.

ABOUT THE ARTISTTrained as an interior designer, Joshua Teo (b. 1995, Kuching, Sarawak) also has experience across other disciplines, such as linguistics, architecture, music, and debating. He completed his degree in interior design with a minor in linguistics from Taiwan’s Chung Yuan Christian University in 2018. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Asia Young Designer Award in 2018 and 2017, the Future is Now Award in 2017, and the Decor House Design Award in 2016.

Entwine is a sculpture of two masses merging into one, inspired by the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers at the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It is made of recycled plastic tiles. This choice of material is meant to address the city’s waste management problems, as plastic waste is one of the main contributors to the flash floods that plague Kuala Lumpur.

The River of Life project’s long-term goals are to cleanse and beautify the Klang River and its surroundings; this installation hopes to contribute to that. Through its public programming, Entwine also educates the public on waste and helps them realise the beauty of recycled materials through an artistic approach.

“ROMBONGAN SAMBIL BELAJAR”

Public artworks are visible time-keepers of our history and changing landscape; they reflect a society’s values and aspirations. Jom rediscover the city through its public sculptural works, with

“Rombongan Sambil Belajar” (Study Excursion)!

DID YOU KNOW?The National Museum is built on the site of the former Selangor Museum after its right wing was ‘accidentally’ bombed in 1945 at the end of World War II; no thanks to the US B-29 bomber!

THE NAKED TRUTH! When Laitong was asked to throw some clothes on the half-naked figures depicted in his mural, he asserted they remain “unclothed” to avoid essentialism. He was critically sensitive in his attempt to capture a true and non-stereotypical Malaysian identity. These figures remain half-naked today!

BONUS CHALLENGE!If you think the stroll around the garden is for lightweights, head up the hill and challenge yourself to a trek through the lush greenery of the Taman Tugu Project!

1 Laman @ Maybank Tower (Menara Maybank) 100 Jalan Tun Perak | Tel: +603 2070 8833Within the shady compound at the south of the building, Latiff Mohidin’s 17-metre-tall Keris (1987) hovers over a water feature that leads to the building’s Laman hawker centre. The work pays homage to Hijjas Kasturi’s architectural vision for the Maybank Tower, the form resembling the sheath of Hang Tuah’s keris. Nearby amidst trees is the bank’s newest addition as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations: Yusof Ghani’s Segerak — One Movement, 1Malaysia (2010), incorporating characters for the numeral one in Jawi, Chinese, and Tamil.

7 ASEAN Sculpture Garden
 Persiaran Sultan

Salahuddin Tel: +603 2615 8188Situated within the Tugu Negara plaza, adjacent to the National Monument, is a compact landscaped garden erected in fulfilment of one of the objectives of the Fifth ASEAN Square Sculpture Symposium held in 1987. Thus, a collection of 6 sculptural installations of wood, marble, iron, and bamboo stand in ASEAN solidarity amongst their fellow members. Crafted by a select list of regional artistic powerhouses such as Han Sai Por (SG), Dolorosa Sinaga (IDN), Jerusalino V. Araos (PH), Itthi Khongkhakul (TH), Abu Bakar Bin Abdul Rahman (BRU), and Malaysia’s own Syed Ahmad Jamal, in hopes to influence social change through their works and raise public awareness of the ASEAN union.

8 National Planetarium, Kuala Lumpur (Planetarium Negara)
 53 Jalan Perdana, Tasik Perdana Tel: +603 2273 4303In the vicinity of the National Planetarium is The Merdeka Sun Clock built in 1957 to commemorate Malaysia’s independence. Stanley Edward Jewkes (US) is the designer of this painfully meticulous and mathematically accurate sundial that once decked the grounds between Merdeka Stadium and the National Stadium before it was moved in 1997. Yet another companion using the symbolism of time is Ariffin Mohd Ismail’s winning sculpture, Time & Space from the Planetarium’s Sculpture Design Competition in 1993. Look out for replicas of Stonehenge and the Guo Shou Jing and Jai Singh Observatories in a small shaded area next to the guardhouse entrance of the Planetarium.

9 National Museum of Malaysia (Muzium Negara)
 Jalan Damansara Tel: +603 2267 1111Spanning the museum facade is a pair of mosaic murals of Venetian glass (35-metres long each) by Cheong Laitong (CN). They depict Malaysia’s traditional crafts and a chronology of significant events in Malaysian history. Within its grounds is a bronze statue (among four early public sculptures scattered around Malaya) of British colonial officer, Sir Frank Athelstane Swettenham. Funded by his friends in commemoration of his contributions to Malaya, the statue was made in London by Charles Leonard Hartwell, before its unveiling in front of Kuala Lumpur’s Government Building in 1921.

13 Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka Jalan Dewan Bahasa Tel: 603 2147 9000Selected as the winner in a design competition, Ismail bin Mustam’s mosaic mural, the Malayan Way of Life and the National Language (Cara Hidup di Malaya dan Bahasa Kebangsaan) (1961) was created in accordance with the institute’s founding goal — to establish Malay as the national language after years of colonial English. Along with other architectural elements, such as the use of patterns resembling traditional sarong motifs in the auditorium, the building is a testament to a newly-independent Malaysia’s desire to visualise a unique national identity.

17 PETRONAS Twin Towers (Menara Berkembar PETRONAS) Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur

City Centre Tel: +603 2331 8080Two kinetic sculptures, Kinetik I and Kinetik II (1998), by Latiff Mohidin spin luxuriously on their mechanical axes in the lobbies of the Petronas Twin Towers, their perpetual movement reflecting the tirelessness of PETRONAS’ creativity and growth. In contrast, the Whale and Dolphin (1997) sculptures by John Underwood (AUS) in the pool of KLCC park have their movements immobilised, suspended right before their big splash.

18 Ilham Tower (Menara Ilham) 8 Jalan Binjai Tel: +603 2181 8626Divina Proportione (2006) by Ai Wei Wei (CN) and Breast Stupa Topiary (2013) by Pinaree Sanpitak (TH) strike a sharp metallic contrast to the lush green grass at Ilham Tower. Home to Ilham Gallery, the tower is a treasure trove of art, with sculptures by Juhari Said and Nizam Abdullah in the lobby, and Yunizar on the gallery’s third floor. In front of the panoramic windows on the 40th Floor of Element Hotel is Life: Resilient (2017) by Claudio Bueno (VE), which shifts in colour according to the time of day and levels of sunlight shining through.

19 Wild Chili Couple, 2010 by Kumari Nahappan (SG) GTower, Jalan Tun Razak

DID YOU KNOW?The seven inanimate bronze soldiers suffered a second death (only this time, a monumental one) due to an explosion set off by a communist in 1975…

11 Brickfields Junction Fountain Jalan Rakyat, BrickfieldsThe centrepiece of Brickfields is the fountain, with its sculptures of elephants and peacocks, flanked by the two Little India Dancers (2010) by Sculptureatwork. Standing magnificently next to the fountain is the Torana Gate (2015) by Akshaya Jain & Associates, a gift from the Government of India to Malaysia to celebrate their lasting friendship. In Hindu and Buddhist architecture, the torana is a sacred gateway into palaces, shrines, and cities; thus, the gifting of the torana gate to Brickfields symbolically recognises Brickfields as a sacred, palatial space.

12 Taman Wawasan Public Bank @ Bangunan Public Bank 6 Jalan Sultan Sulaiman,

Kampung Attap Tel: +603 2179 9999Dotting the park are sculptures inspired by Tun Mahathir Mohamad’s ‘nine challenges’ that Malaysians need to overcome to achieve Wawasan 2020. From an open call competition in 1993, the selected sculptures were Lee Kian Seng’s Vision 2020, Raja Shahriman’s Vision 2020 — Growth Equity, and Zakaria Awang’s Vision 2020 — Nine Challenges.

6 National Monument (Tugu Negara)
 Jalan Parlimen | Tel: +603 2615 8188Consolidated within a complex where the national flag is raised and lowered daily by a soldier, both the National Monument (Tugu Negara) (1966) and its predecessor, the Kuala Lumpur Cenotaph (1924), stand silently majestic — adorned with fountains, a pavilion, a war memorial, and surrounding gardens.

A monument complex originally conceptualised by Tunku Abdul Rahman, Felix De Weldon’s (US) 15.54-meter-tall bronze statuary commemorates the fallen heroes of World War II and the 12–year communist insurgency known as the Malayan Emergency.

The cenotaph (relocated to its current site in 1966) was originally erected near the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station by the British administration in memory of the fallen soldiers of the First World War (1914–1918); later edited to also include the fallen from the Second World War (1939–1945) and the Emergency (1948–1960).

20 National Art Gallery (Balai Seni Negara) 2 Jalan Temerloh Tel: +60 3-4026 7000Standing in the front yard of our National Art Gallery in all its historical glory is the Chow Kit Heritage House (Rumah Pusaka Chow Kit, a.k.a. ‘Rumah Degil’). It was the last standing Malay house in Chow Kit, and apparently had links to Sultan Puasa (whom some believe to be the original founder of Kuala Lumpur). Across the lawn is Wong Pey Yu’s infamous red standing egg (still held in perfect balance!), one among five winners of a sculpture competition in 2000. Also noteworthy are the klirieng poles by master craftsmen from Sarawak’s Orang Ulu community. Before the British occupation, klirieng were used as gravemarkers for royalty and noblemen.

The information on this map is correct at the time of printing.

Lunar Peaks (Puncak Purnama) (1986) was created at a time when sculpture and installation were burgeoning within Malaysian art. People began to consider art within the modern, public landscape—the year after Lunar Peaks appeared, the ASEAN Sculpture Garden was opened. Like the times that created it, Lunar Peaks was also inspired by firsts: specifically, man’s first step on the moon in 1969. It was crafted with pyroceram glass, as developed by NASA — specially procured and shipped to Malaysia by the US Embassy and Wisma Putra. However, time eventually won out. The United Malayan Banking Corporation (UMBC), which originally commissioned it, merged under RHB Bank in 1999. Lunar Peaks was decommissioned in 2016.
