Sure, 'contemporary' is a pretty sweet candy, like a fondant topping on top of a regular looking cake, used to attract possible buyers and admirers.

I have always been intrigued by the idea of showcasing the artist’s materials, processes, and workspace—the very essence of creation that often goes unseen. In fact, my own thesis focused more on the artist as a person rather than just the artworks they produce.

While this isn’t the first exhibition of its kind—one that comes to mind is the Hoessain Enas studio installation at Galeri Ilham—it is still a rarity in the Malaysian art scene. The fact that a young curator like Danielle is championing such an idea deserves recognition. Danielle Lin; the curator of The Palette Project I may be biased, as I am one of the 55 ...
