PENDULUM: Between Two Forces

PENDULUM: Between Two Forces explores the tension shaping contemporary artistic practice in Malaysia, between the urge to question and the need to survive. The exhibition takes its cue from the lived realities of artists today, where creative intention, visibility, and economic pressure are deeply intertwined. Rather than offering clear answers, PENDULUM reflects a condition of constant negotiation that many artists quietly navigate.

Featuring works by fourteen artists across painting, installation, sculpture, and mixed media, PENDULUM presents a range of responses to these conditions. Some works emphasise material presence and labour, others invite participation or challenge familiar forms. Together, they suggest that contemporary art is shaped not by certainty, but by ongoing questioning, risk, and becoming.
