GEORGE TOWN (6 November 2012):
Sabah’s
CrackoArtGroup exhibits for the very first time in Penang, showcasing a vibrant
variety with different styles and genre of 17 different young and exciting
contemporary artists from Sabah, land below the wind.
Sabah’s CAG (CrackoArtGroup) was formed
over 2 years ago, comprising artists from various backgrounds, with the same
burning passion for art. Since then CAG has been known for the street art at
the abandoned land and survey building in the heart of Kota Kinabalu City,
which has become a tourist attraction.
CAG has always been active in bringing
Sabah’s art movement to the world, especially through empowering the young
people in Sabah. The Penang exhibition is part of CAG’s move to showcase the
various genre of Sabah’s mixed arts, with generous support for ChinaHouse.
Aptly themed “Circus”, this exhibition
portrays Sabah’s very special inclusiveness; at times seen by non-Sabahans to
be surreal, voicing out the differences, but at the same time displaying unity
in a multi-racial/ethnic and social environment.
In Sabah one can find a Chinese eating
in a Malay restaurant, and vice versa, without being frowned upon. Worship
places of different religions can be
seen being built side to side without any conflict. Such cohesive diversity has
projected to outsiders a weird impression of a large community of ‘circus’
inhabitants. So come in, be part of a seemingly motley crew of circus freaks.
Set aside your perceptions, put on your merry hats, and share in our great
journey of self-discovery, respect and acceptance of the differences around us.
