THELOSTGIANT Exhibition in Hin Bus Depot Art Centre

Posted by & filed under Events.

THELOSTGIANT exhibition is a collective effort by Ownly Penang, an ongoing visual collection and exploration dedicated to Penang, an island they call their home. According to the creatives from Ownly Penang, THELOSTGIANT is the self-proclaimed name for the abandoned Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak (KOMTAR), an icon of Penang, which was built as part of a master plan in modernizing the city of George Town. Besides remembering THELOSTGIANT, the exhibition is also about what Penang has to offer. From street food to street art and good hospitality to rich culture and heritage, Peanang is not just a place where retirees come to bide but to live, create and inspire.

“Much have been said and blab about this wonderful island, yet everyday we hear stories of lost hopes and shattered dreams that saddens our inner soul, and question us on the reason to stay on this island we call home. What should we do to protect what we hold dear of, to think forward and take action to not let Penang fall into the faith of becoming just another disneyfied city.” – OWNLY PENANG

The exhibition involves photography as well as installation arts. Still ongoing till 20th of October, be sure to check out the exhibition at Hin Bus Art Depot Centre. They are open daily from 12 pm to 7 pm.

Laundry (at Curve in Mutiara Damansara) on last Saturday had continuous flow of people coming in to try their luck in being the highest bidder for the three pairs of exclusive kicks as well as the performances of the night. As soon as the clock struck half past 8, the emcee, Veena Marcus, officially declared the launch of the event.

First up for the lineup of performances was Elecoldxhot. The breakers kicked of the event with a power-packed performance. It was as expected from such a renowned team of dancers, both locally and internationally. A 15-minute energy-filled performance quickly came to an end. The first pair up for auction was the Air Jordan 11 Concord. The bid for the white and black pair started from zero and quickly went up to 1k and was sold for RM1.5k. The next act of the night was the one and only Shawn Lee. He entertained the crowd of sneakerheads and attendees with his show-stopping beatboxing. Next up was the bidding for the Y-3 Qasa All Black. This pair was sold to the highest bidder for RM1.8k. DJ Ryan was up next to entertain the crowd with his beats before the final auction. The Nike Air Yeezy Red October was being bidded for a few thousands when it suddenly shot up to 10k and was sold for RM12.5k! Soon after, the winner for the lucky draw was announced. The winner walked away with a pair of Air Jordan 2 Varsity Red. Besides the bidding and performances, there was also a collaboration t-shirt by Eighteen Inspiration and Sneaker-Boo featuring Yumi Wong.

Be sure to keep up with Laundry Bar for any future events on their Facebook as well as Eighteen Inspiration for their great discounts on exclusive clothing and Sneaker-Boo if you wish to cop a pair of limited kicks.

#IOTD : @huxsterized

Posted by & filed under Art.

It’s been a while since we updated our #IOTD segment. Today’s iotd goes to Huxster who only started Instagramming this year. This graphic designer cum real estate agent is married to @moksva and they both have a son. Huxster says that he is not a photographer. He doesn’t even own a DSLR! Using only his iPhone 5, he captures his images and edits them using VSCO and Snapseed.


“The idea is just to have fun and see is there anyone out there would appreciate my kind of photography style,” says Huxster. For him, Instagram is the best platform for him to share his minimalism with the world. He appreciates photography of all sorts but for him, minimalistic art and photography is his cup of tea. He wishes for people to smile when they see his work, simply enjoying the simplicity, composition, lighting as well as value for each photograph he posts. He says that he met a lot of new friends and found fellow minimalists like him on Instagram. “They call me Huxsterized the ice cream man! haha.. because i brand my self by giving them ice cream emoji when i commented or replying to their comments. I used ice cream photo for my avatar and i post ‘ice cream post’ my way to say thanks to these awesome communities,” says Huxster.

The Royal Snapping Artist (@_rsa_minimal) scouted Huxster to join their family. Although inspired by many other minimalists, he says that his number one inspiration is his wife, @moksva and his son, Mikael. He photographed them before moving on to photograph strangers. He is more observant (compared to before) of buildings, walls, shadows, surrounding people and busy strangers. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” says Huxster, quoting Leonardo da Vinci.
