Reka Art Space (December)
3rd ANNUAL REKA RELATIVELY FREE SHOW 2005
The Relatively Free Show 2005, previously known as the Free Show, is an annual open exhibition that invites artists to show their art-works in an environment that accepts and encourages experimentation, challenge, exploration, risk-taking and difference.
Once a year, the management of Reka Art Space surrenders the gallery to artists, letting them decide what they want to show, how they want to show and how much to price their art-works. Reka Art Space only intervenes if the art-works cause physical harm, damage or alter the physical infrastructure of the gallery or are against the law.
The exhibition is open to anyone and everyone, whether they are professional or amateur artists or not artists at all. In the spirit of the meanings carried by the title of the exhibition, no judgement is passed and no institutional criteria imposed on submissions.
When asked what kind of art one can expect from an exhibition like this, Reka Art Space’s gallery manager, Chang Yoong Chia replies,
For me, the excitement of mounting this show lies in it's unpredictability. But for the two previous free shows, I felt the participating artists were too polite. Many submitted art-works that neither really embraced nor challenged the freedom that the gallery offered to them.”
“I hope for this year, the artists will interpret what 'relatively free' can mean in the widest possible sense and shake things up a bit", he further adds.
Duration: 2 December, 2005 – 17 December, 2005.
Location: just off the LDP in Kelana Jaya,
GL29 Block C, Kelana Square, 17 Jalan SS7/26, Kelana Jaya.
Tel: 03-7880 5982.
The gallery is open Wednesday - Saturday from 11am to 5pm.
