EXHIBITION

𝗘𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲: 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙉𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 presents an extended iteration of the original group exhibition by 41 Fine Art students from 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪 𝘚𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘢, developed through collaborative research with the Centre for Global Archaeological Research (PPAG). This version features 12 works by 12 artists from the original exhibition, focusing on key dialogues between memory, heritage, and the elusive nature of time, informed by fieldwork at Sungai Batu and Lembah Bujang.

The exhibition is structured into three sections, 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎, 𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚞𝚞𝚖, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚎𝚜, tracing personal, cultural, and historical layers of temporality. Resonance engages with immediate emotional and cultural responses; Continuum explores temporal flow, change, and human progression; and Traces reflects on remnants, fading memories, and the enduring presence of the past.

Through this selected body of work, the exhibition considers the relationship between archaeological research and artistic practice. The diverse media and approaches reveal how memory persists, how meaning is constructed, and how the echoes of ancient histories continue to shape contemporary perception. Time here remains ephemeral, slipping between moments, recorded only through traces and narratives, and highlights how these core ideas resonate across past and present.
