Held tri-annually, Young Guns provides recognition for artists under 33 years old who have achieved excellence in their artistic practice.

“Good art needs to be celebrated, and having been a part of the industry for awhile now, we recognise how important awards are for artists, especially young ones. It can really propel their career,” explains Bayu Utomo Radjikin, Director of HOM ART TRANS and member of the MATAHATI art collective, Malaysia’s longest running art collective.

13 artists were selected for their consistency in their practice as well as their recognition in the local and international art sector. The participating artists include Haslin Ismail, Seah Ze Lin, Najib Bamadhaj, Anisa Abdullah, Chong Ai Lei, Fadilah Karim, Akhmal Asyraf Mohd, Donald Abraham, Azam Aris, Ruzzeki Harris, Al-Khuzairie Ali, and Chi Too.

The Young Guns recognition entitles them to a three-city showcase of their works including MAP@Publika in Kuala Lumpur, The Whiteaways Arcade in George Town, and Chan Hampe Galleries in Singapore.

The exchanged residency takes in artists with at least five years of experience and SAGER enables Malaysian, Indonesian, and Filipino artists to foster and strengthen regional ties, as well as to network and establish a better understanding of their neighbours.

The residency entails 30-days each in Kuala Lumpur, Jogjakarta and Manila. During this time, artists-in-residences not only produce artworks for exhibitions in each city, but also partake in studio visits, gallery and art institution visits, as well as introductions to significant art collectors and art communities.

Aside from these physical dialogues, SAGER also fosters a visual dialogue, as artists from these three countries are encouraged to engage in cross-cultural meditations and to broach new visual languages in their works.

ARTRIANGLE is an exhibition showcasing the latest artworks from Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore. With the purpose of increasing the appreciation of art in this region through a more open network of exchange and to further inculcate closer working ties amongst our artists, it aspires to energies a 4-way art dialogue between these countries and inadvertently, adds more excitement to the art scene in Southeast Asia.

MAF is also used as a grant for artists to initiate art projects and art activities.

Artists whose works are sold will be entitled to fifty percent of the sale of their works, while the remaining fifty percent will be donated to participating artists whose works were not purchased during the showcase. The distribution of profit will not only represent a community of artists coming together in solidarity towards those in financial need, but will also provide support to as many artists as possible..

Featuring some of their best work, all artworks will be capped between RM500 to RM5000. This special offer which is below the market price, will allow the sale to be more accessible and affordable to a larger pool of art enthusiasts and young collectors.
