Art Exhibition : Celebrating the contribution of foreign influences upon Malaysian contemporary art.
DEFINITION OF CREOLE:
Creole is a stable
natural
language developed from the mixing of parent languages; creoles differ from
pidgins (which
are believed by scholars to be necessary precedents of creoles) in that they
have been nativized by children as their primary language, with
the result that they have features of natural languages that are normally
missing from pidgins.

For a long time foreign influences has seep into almost every facet of
our contemporary cultural landscape. Sparing none in its expense.
For ever since our people have been influenced by foreign gods, myths,
laws, languages, ethics, music, film, food and fine art is no different.
'Creole' is a word with many meanings. It mostly refers to (in the 16th-17th
century) either a language of mix heritage or a people of migrant background or
mixed heritage. Creole
could also often be seen as a strong cultural influence in a person’s perspective of
life that often shapes the fabric foundation of their
personalities.
Here at Minut Init, we believe that in
our individual paths through modern society it is almost impossible to
stay pure to an original root without being seduced by the immense
variety of cultures in the world. We submit to the believe that the
collage of foreign influences in our lives ultimately enriches our soul
and opens up our mind to new experiences,rather then corrupt and delude
us like previous notions suggest.Therefore these cultural influences are
an inherent aspect of ourselves even in the most subtle subconscious
expressions. That are so often manifested thru our behavior in our
daily lives.

Thus, Minut Init Studio Galleria is
honored to take you on a journey of self discovery, a celebration of the
influences that adds a new cultural perspective to our existence. At
the Creole exhibition ,one might experience a narrative where we are all
apart, exchanging and interlinking our memories and inspirations. A
unique experience to just have a moment where we all take a look at the
influences of our life.
At this exhibition, we celebrate this heritage within contemporary art through
our collection of paintings and sculptures by artists Dali, Mils Gan, (Nahoy) Ng
Yohan, Maryam, Nizam Abdullah, Ajim (Juxta Art), Jacqueline Gomez, Nadia J

"Minut Init is punk rock-esque art space, like the smoky underground
confined art spaces of the LA do-it-yourself art scene’s glory days. It
has been home to alt-art exhibitions such as the new media-inclined Made
in Phones and counter culture-sounding Tahi Cicak. It’s easier to name a
bigger art venues, but we say let’s give a round of applause to the
smaller guys too." - (Best Art Venue, Juice Best Of 2011)
