George Town Festival 2014: Unpack Repack

This exhibition is a tribute to the late Ismail Hashim (1940-2013) and is curated by one of Malaysia’s most prominent artists/curators, Wong Hoy Cheong. The pieces exhibited will take the audience through five rooms of Ismail Hashim’s creative preoccupations drawn mainly from the archives/estate he left behind through known works selected by friends and colleagues, recontextualisations and readings of Ismail Hashim’s collection of negatives, contact prints and test prints as well as personal documents, writings and photographic equipment and materials from his studio.
