With a spotlight on Malaysian contemporary art, GENSET brings together multiple generations of artists, showcasing their influence onto the trajectory of the national art scene, as well as the development and expansion of artistic practice. Placed alongside works by artists from the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore, tthis display explores notions of shared contemporary inspiration and how each artist has contributed and carved their own path onto the landscape of Southeast Asian art.
