LAUNCH OF iNYALA 2019

EVENT VENUE

A collective of like minded architects, social innovators, brand identity builder and filmmaker, comes together to repurpose the Rex Cinema building into a commerce-driven community space for all. Thoughtful content and processes that are in respect of the cinema’s history and its present community had been put in place to reshape the building and rebuild its social interaction within the community of Jalan Petaling, Jalan Sultan and dwellers of Kuala Lumpur city at large. REXKL was born out of our desire to reimagine a community space in the heart of the city – where individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds can meet and build connections.

CONTEST BRIEF

We invite students to propose artwork ideas responding to the key theme for a specific site. Participants may work in their preferred medium.

Other considerations:

  • The physical art piece is advised to be displayed within the parameters of 2 cubic meters.
  • The art piece should be engaging and suitable for general audiences, generating curiosity, discussion and a sense of discovery.
  • The participating art piece can be either an individual or group effort; a mix of students from different departments is also encouraged.
