Organised in conjunction with Five Arts Centre’s 40th anniversary, My Video Making Practice is a unique mashup event combining an artist talk, a screening, and a dialogue with invited guests by Gan Siong King - one of Malaysia’s most original contemporary artists.  

In MVMP (83 minutes screening), Gan expands his distinctive, research-driven practice by remixing 7 selected videos of Malaysian artists at work which he has made in the past decade.  In the process, the artist turns the lens and editing machine onto his own video-making practice, combining his own personal materials and memories with the videos made previously – to reflect critically and humorously on the pleasures and pressures of making art in Malaysia, and growing up in the 1990s.

MVMP is also conceived as a not-for-profit community engagement project to facilitate conversations on art and artmaking.  After each of the 8 screenings, there will be dialogue sessions between Gan with invited guests including Ali Alasri, Beverly Yong, Diana Htwe, Faiq Syazwan Kuhiri, Janet Pillai, Lee Ren Xin, Marion D’Cruz, Mark Teh, Rahmah Pauzi, Roopesh Sitharan, Sharifah Aleysha, Syamsul Azhar, Carmen Nge and Yeo Tze Yang.
