Imagining Identities: Narratives In Malaysian Art Volume 1

---

“Narratives in Malaysian Art” is a four-volume publication project, which attempts to gather knowledge and perspectives on the history, practice and infrastructure of visual art in Malaysia. “Volume 1: Imagining Identities” considers the intellectual, philosophical and thematic preoccupations that have shaped art practices in Malaysia since their beginnings, and how Malaysian artists have contributed to a picture of our experience, negotiating issues of modernity, tradition, nationhood, and identity.rnrnThe publication is a comprehensive undertake into Malaysian art and features 19 texts by 20 authors: scholars, art critics, curators, writers, artists and art educators across different generations. Besides commissioned essays the publication features five reprinted seminal texts, spanning the decades of the 1970s, 80s and 90s.rnThe book is divided into 2 topic-related parts: Part 1 “deals with the country-city divide, with sojourning in the two domains and with regarding movements between the two as fuelling ways of seeing and representing the nation.” Part 2 “has to do with conceptions of modernity and traditions, and as these are interwoven with claims of identity.” (from the Preface by T.K. Sabapathy)rnMain focus of the research is visual art. The publication also contains a timeline chart of key art and historical events highlighted in the texts.rnrnThe publishing project is described as the most ambitious, encompassing and sustained publishing endeavor in Malaysian art scholarship.
