Dystopians + is in part a re-staging of Ajim Juxta’s 6th solo exhibition, Dystopians, held in June last year at Vinyl On Vinyl in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. The complete selection of works is an expanded one, and includes paintings and drawings that were originally shown in the various international art fairs that Artemis Art participated in over the last two years.

Another aspect of this exhibition that makes it unique is that it will be distributed across two different locations in Kuala Lumpur: at Artemis Art’s gallery space in Publika, and at Greydea Studio in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail.

The exhibition will open with a reception in our gallery at 4pm on Saturday, 26 September 2020. It is our pleasure to announce that the guest of honor for the opening shall be YB Tony Pua, Member of Parliament for Damansara. While Tony is better known as a politician, he is also a visual artist and someone who’s very supportive of the Malaysian art scene. Part of the afternoon opening will be an informal sketch session where Ajim and a few of his artist friends will be sketching in our gallery. All guests to the opening reception are more than welcome to join in the sketch session if they so wish to.

Following the opening, an Open Studio will be held at Greydea Studio from 2pm to 6pm on Sunday, 27 September 2020, allowing art enthusiasts and the public at large to meet and greet with Ajim, for more intimate conversation about his art and artistic career.

Dystopians + continues after the two opening events until Sunday, 18 October 2020.
