A group exhibition curated by Ivan Gabriel, originally scheduled to begin just as CMCO was announced. BOXED IN (one foot at a time) pulls in a group of Penang based visual artists from various backgrounds and art practices. Each participating artist was given two 12’ x 12’ wooden boxes and set off to let their creative imaginations run wild. The only catch was for them to “think outside the box” whilst having the artworks within the box itself.
The exhibition will proceed in stages; kicking off with an online exhibition that will take place in the whole month of December 2020, and if/when CMCO is lifted, a physical exhibition at Hin Bus Depot, open daily 12pm-7pm. More information on Hin Bus Depot’s Facebook page here.
