Launching Vol 1 on 7 July 2012!

 We are finally launching NMA Vol 1 at NVAG on 7 July 2012! Save the date!

Launching Soon!

We are very, very pleased to announce that Narratives in Malaysian Art Volume 1: Imagining Identities/Naratif Seni Rupa Malaysia Jilid 1: Menanggap Identiti will be launching on 7 July at a special event hosted by the National Visual Arts Gallery. It's been a long and tremendous (start to the) journey, and we hope that readers will enjoy the outcome.

We can't reveal the full covers of the two versions of the first book, as that would spoil the surprise, but here are the details:

Narratives in Malaysian Art Volume I: Imagining Identities brings together a collection of essays which highlights the ways in which art has provided artists with the means of imagining themselves, and imagining our nation. The 19 essays in this publication comprise of five reprinted seminal texts from the 1970s to 90s and new commissioned essays by writers across different generations. They discuss art developments in relation to changing expressions and experiences in Malaysian social and cultural life from after the Second World War to contemporary times, while 140 illustrations create a parallel visual narrative. This unprecedented gathering of Malaysian art writing should prove a valuable reference for a wide audience, from specialists to general readers interested in Malaysian art and history.
