Mapping

Within National Visual Arts Gallery (NVAG) is ‘Mapping’, an exhibition that promises to be the most exciting initiative undertaken by the art institution in recent times. If all goes well, this progressively amalgamating two-year project will form the basis for a permanent exhibition of the national collection, a maiden achievement for NVAG. There will be four segments within the exhibition, chronicling the evolution and development of Malaysian art from the times of the British colonial rule up to the present day – ‘Formation’, ‘Transition’, ‘Assessment’ and ‘Synthesis’, each covering a specific period in history.
