Description: The German Alumni Association Kuala Lumpur (GAAKL) and the Goethe-Institut Malaysia jointly organised an exhibition entitled "The German Connection : Art", in collaboration with Pelita Hati House of Art.
The exhibition was officiated by H. E. Dr. Günter Gruber, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany, on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 at 8.00pm. Initiated by Dr. Volker Wolf, Director of Goethe-Institut Malaysia, the exhibition is a "cultural welcome" to Dr. Gruber, who has recently been appointed Ambassador to Malaysia.
The event is a showcase of art as the link between Germany and Malaysia as well as the artists from both countries: German artists who live and work in Malaysia such as Askandar Unglehrt, Gisela Rademacher and Volker W Hamann; Malaysian artists like Noor Mahnun Mohamad, Alex Moh and Wong Hoy Cheong who have trained, worked in Germany or in some manner connected to the country. Other artists featured include Raja Shariman, Mariam Jutta, Goh Lee Kwang, Ilse Noor, Jalaini Abu Hassan, Shooshie Sulaiman and Wong Perng Fey.
Expect to be thrilled by paintings, sculptures, pottery and photography amongst the works. Details on individual pieces will be available at the exhibition and from the artists at the opening ceremony or by subsequent appointment.
The exhibition will remain open until Saturday, August 30, 2008, at Pelita Hati House of Art. Opening hours are from 10.00am to 6.00pm, closed on Sunday.
