Established in 2014 as the venue for Ernest Zacharevic's solo exhibition 'Art is Rubbish is Art,' Hin Bus Depot Gallery remains a creative hub for artists from around the world.
Building upon the profound exploration of self and surroundings witnessed in his previous solo exhibition, Syahbandi Samat returns with Beautiful Torture, an evocative journey through the complexities of existence. Stemming from the series unveiled in his prior solo exhibition at HARTA Space, this new exhibition at Hin Bus Depot promises a deeper delve into the intricacies of human experience.
In Beautiful Torture, Syahbandi introduces an intriguing interplay of familiarity and novelty. Here, viewers will encounter both familiar works and new creations, each bearing the unmistakable imprint of Syahbandi's artistic vision. What sets this collection apart is its playful yet poignant presentation. Embracing a Tetris-like composition within wooden panels in an extended series, these works invite constant re-curation, echoing the fluidity of life's ever-shifting narrative.
As we joyously commemorate the remarkable milestone of Hin Bus Depot's 10th anniversary, our inaugural exhibition of the year, "Art Is Still Rubbish, A Decade of Hin," invites you to embark on a nostalgic journey. Picture this exhibition as a stroll down memory lane, akin to flipping through the pages of an old family album. Each showcased photograph is a snapshot of moments that define Hin Bus Depot's extraordinary journey.
These exhibited photographs encapsulate the nuanced evolution of Hin Bus Depot over the past decade. They capture not only the physical transformations but also the vibrant string of events, exhibitions, and the diverse faces that have graced its spaces.

Penaltee Communitee proudly presents Invasion Penang, a group exhibition by Lithuanian artists, that delves into the concept of invasion in diversely humorous ways. This exhibition draws intriguing parallels between the invasion of card games and video games during the 2000s, highlighting their influence on Western culture.
The exhibition marks a testament to the dynamic and vibrant nature of the young project, which, despite its brief 8-month existence, has successfully nurtured a diverse array of artistic expressions. By providing a platform to reflect on various forms of invasion, including cultural incursions, technological advancements, and even the unexpected spread of species, the exhibition invites attendees to engage in a stimulating dialogue about the complexities of global interconnectedness.
