Visited the Annexe Gallery the other day. A short brief. Annexe Gallery (the art & soul of Kuala Lumpur) is located in the Central Market Annexe Building. It was launched in January 2007 as a centre for contemporary arts in Malaysia. Perfectly complementing the more traditional Central Market, the Annexe Gallery provides spaces for the ongoing expression of the present generations. Since the opening, the gallery has attracted countless youths and adults seeking ideas, insights and inspirations. The have an eclectic programme of events, some of which were organize by the gallery themselves or organize in collaborations with other creative establishments, and others are by parties which pay the gallery a certain amount of rent to use their premises for their events. The gallery regular collaborators include: the US Embassy, Japan Foundation, British Council, Jendela KL, Instant Cafe Theatre, GerakBudaya, TheOtherMalaysia, SUARAM, Amnesty International & lots more. Their media sponsor is TimeOut KL.I was there for another bazaar flea market...this time is more towards the arts & crafts. I am very impressed with the creativity that these youths have and also the skills that they possessed. Their final products are so unique, appealing, practical yet commercial enough to generate sales & profits. Sigh...I wish I have the skills like them. If these youths know how to market their items well, they can transform it into a money-making business model. Or a very good second-income generator. Not like me - only rely on 1 full-time job and long term investments. Don't know when can become rich & to retire early. Having music skills, cooking abilities, drawing talents, a flair for sewing is very economically useful.
Also bump into Bremen - showcasing his stylish & funky headgears. It was good to see him :) For his youthful, exciting, energetic and yes sexy attitude.
