Urban Xchange 2015 is Malaysia’s only street art festival aiming to provide a platform for national and international artists who crave to create outside the walls of tradition – whereby Urban Xchange will be showcasing a diverse program of public art and cultural exchanges. Urban Xchange will be opening on the 31st of October with UX: Artisan Project, launching in Hin Bus Depot exhibition space. The intention behind this project is to break down the walls of contemporary art practices – in particular urban art and locating it in close quarters with the locals in order to stimulate a process of interaction and cross contamination. Seven contemporary Malaysian artists have combined forces with seven artisans representing traditional Malaysian trades and artisanal skills, such as: batik, silversmith, retin weaving, and more. Supported by Thinkcity, the UX: Artisan project aims to bridge the gap between generations and promotion nontraditional methods of traditional productions.
The focal part of this year’s event is a magnificent large-scale site-specific installation created by Malaysian artist Ong Jun Hao. The Star, a four-story high brainchild, will be built from over 400 meters of LED lights in a building in Raja Uda – not only creating a new landmark, but also a whole new community space to be used for many uses such as performances, market sales, and even music concerts. The Star will be inaugurated on the 7th of November, in collaboration with ZAP.
Architectural installation Berlin based media artist, AWK, will be creating a multi-layered projection mapping piece for the Hin Bus Depot outdoor area. AWK’s spectacular piece will be up for a week beginning on the 1st of November purely at night. Along with AWK, famous artists such as VHILS from Portugal, known for his innovative and avant-garde carving techniques; DAL EAST from China; TWOONE from Japan; SABEK & YES from Spain who will create sit-specific murals in both mainland Penang and in George Town.

Ridduan Ismail – or otherwise known as TTFGA on Instagram, know for his stunning photography – has been invited by social media influencer, DJ, and Blogger, Jane Chuck – to showcase his work at Project Space, an exhibition space and cafe in Subang Jaya SS15.
Over the next two weeks, TTFGA’s second photographic exhibition will be on showcase for the public to come in and have a look. For his showcase, TTFGA took the opportunity to display his work about accessories and the people that wear them. He asked 10 prominent personalities to choose accessories that they feel represents who they are; thus creating his stunning event.
An aspect in which we find rather beautiful in TTFGA’s exhibit is that he admits that none of the individuals were styled by him. Each of the photos and accessories are purely personal to the individual being photographed – creating an aura of raw emotion and depth to the individuals in their photos.
We highly recommend that over the next two weeks you go and visit Ridduan’s exhibition at:
Project Space Coffee in SS15
57-1 Jalan SS15/8A, 47500
Subang Jaya.

Back in 2004, H&M kicking off their first ever-designer collaboration, which only selected company stores, offered an exclusive collection by the German fashion designer, Karl Lagerfeld. Hereafter, international labels like Versace, Comme des Garçons, Jimmy Choo, Maison Martin Margiela and Alexander Wang also followed the footstep. It wouldn’t be surprised that France based haute couture fashion house, Balmain also teamed up with H&M to scheme a ready to wear collection, yet the release is anticipating and exhilarating.
Pierre Balmain founded Balmain, he was born at St. Jean de Maurienne, a small village in France. Interesting part is he was supposed to study Architecture, somehow he spent most of his time on designing dresses. He left his study and began his fashion career as an assistant for master Parisian couturier Lucien Lelong. However, he left Lelong to start his own house in 1945, which is Balmain.
He passed away in 1982 and Erik Mortensen, who had been Balmain’s right hand man, continued his house. Until 2011, an unknown young designer, Olivier Rousteing was named as the label’s designer. Although he aged merely 25 when he was on board, his collections pushed the label towards a diverse path of success. Heavily influenced by unique style of modern women wear as well as the founder Pierre Balmain stressed on his objective was “to always dress women in the right look for the right moment”.
From previous experience, we think that there is a high possibility that this collection will hit H&M Malaysia stores. Hope you enjoy a little brief history at here and please enjoy yourself with a glimpse of their latest Balmain X H&M collection.
