Dear Readers,
ARTisFAIR, The Biggest Art Exhibition That Will Be Held From November 11 to 28, 2021 At Fahrenheit88, Kuala Lumpur
Art today is an intriguing spectrum of intellect, imagination, and emotion that sparks dialogues about life, existence, and our world. In short, every art piece is essentially an expression of a human experience into something that we can see, touch, think and feel about it. We are dealing with art every second in our life! So, art is universal!
Today, I would like to share with you the coolest art exhibition that I have ever visited in my whole life, for the very first time. To me, it really change my perspective about art exhibition which is something expensive and only for the elite.
It's the ARTisFAIR Art Exhbition!
ARTisFAIR is fashioned on this very premise in the middle of the bustling Kuala Lumpur city, to challenge the perceptions about art, while creating a new kind of appreciation and ownership.
This is the biggest hybrid art fair in Malaysia that aims to build a sustainable ecosystem of art and community within a real global marketplace. Here at the exhibition, it will showcasing the voices, ideas, and colors of over 500 artists from Malaysia and Indonesia.
The creative realm spans over 100,000 square feet of gallery space in this Fahrenheit 88 shopping mall and displaying over 2,000 artworks that ranging from paintings to sculptures and unique installations.
The mission of this art exhibition is to connect emerging and established artists with emerging collectors, across four levels of exciting, welcoming areas, to spark art appreciation from ground level. This is because everyone deserves to have a good art in their lives.

"This immersive art event was born out of a desire to champion creativity and make art accessible to a wider, appreciative audience." said Andrew Yap, co-creator of ARTisFAIR.
Mr. Andrew Yap brings his experiences in running the World's Biggest Book Sale, Big Bad Wolf Books, and the 14 BookXcess bookstores into this artistic venture. This venture will transforms the massive mall space into the largest art exhibition in this region and inviting people of all walks of life to view the brilliance of contemporary arts, while giving them an opportunity to own a piece.
"It's all about "trying to do something different." Mr. Andrew concluded.
At ARTisFAIR art exhibition, it allows artists, emerging artists, the art and even public, interior buyers, and art collectors converge to create a spectacular new dynamic which is way different from the conventional art presentations.

"Never in my wildest dreams" said Dato' Sri Bernard Chandran, Co-Creator of ARTisFAIR.
Never expecting that he will be branching out from high fashion into contemporary art, ARTisFAIR has been his personal evolution from pinning up Japanese airbrush art in his teenage years to being a serious collector of Southeast Asian contemporary works today.
In his opinion, the dimension of contemporary art needs to be presented outside the gallery, in a more dynamic and lively way for people to interact with it, understand its relevance, and ultimately think that it's cool.
Welcoming And Introductory Speech by Dato' Sri Bernard Chandran During The Exclusive Media Walk-Through Preview |
What you see on the this ARTisFAIR art exhibition is the master piece of Dato' Sri Bernard where he took on the job of curating the artwork using the "French way of presenting" by mixing high with low to exude personality.
He basically utilizing and treat everything as an art-form including using the original crates and boxes to frame the art and mounting them on industrial broken walls, with plywood and hoarding.
"It's raw, cool and beautiful. It's a big space but with a real thought process and spirit of innovation." Dato' Sri Bernard concluded.
These co-creators expressed their thankful thought to Fahrenheit88 for offering them the entire mall to showcase this ARTisFAIR, and the artworks, almost carte blanche in terms of real estate. It's really not possible without Dato' Joyce Yap and her team's open and genuine support.
Introducing the next key collaborator, Mr. Nicholas Siau of Pop Art Pop-Up (PAPU). Nicholas has a small but well-curated collection of emerging and established Malaysian artists. On top of that, he also opened up his space to incubate interest in art with classes and talks.
Just a brief introduction, he curated a show called LIMBO - "neither here nor there" and the concept was anonymous artwork by a wide range of artists, big or small with no size constraints, not limited by subject matter. This was before he owned PAPU.
"I wanted people to buy art because they wanted it, not for any other reason, only because they liked it". said Mr. Nicholas Siau.
