๐™ƒ๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ง๐™™ ๐™๐™–๐™ฃ, born in 1974 in Penang, Malaysia, is a self-taught photographer and collage artist whose journey into the arts has been informed by both personal passion and the rich environment of his hometown. Although his early aspirations were rooted in becoming an artist, Tan initially pursued a degree in computer science, seeking a conventional career. However, after a few unfulfilling years in the tech industry, he rediscovered his love for photographyโ€”a passion that had been quietly nurtured through the thousands of films he had watched over the years. This cinematic influence became a foundation for his creative vision, driving him to explore photography as a means of self-expression and storytelling.

Howardโ€™s work primarily captures the essence of Malaysian life, with a particular focus on Penang, the place he calls home. He draws inspiration from the cityโ€™s architectural heritage, colourful street life, and the often-overlooked beauty of everyday moments. His photography oscillates from documentary-style images that tell stories of the people and places around him to abstract compositions that challenge conventional perceptions.

In addition to his photographic pursuits, Howard has developed a fascination with collecting vintage Malaysian black-and-white photographs and books from local flea markets. This collection ignited a desire to create something new and meaningful from these historical materials. As a result, he began to produce a series of photo collages that integrate his own imagery with these found objects, incorporating elements like vintage book covers, stained pages, atlases, and measuring tapes. This approach enables Howard Tan to connect with the past while breathing new life into forgotten stories, providing an intriguing perspective that explores the intersection of memory and identity in his artistic practice.

Though a niche within the broader publishing industry, the Malaysian Chinese publishing sector is vibrant and full of life. Today, shifts in reading habits, lifestyles, and marketing methods are presenting both challenges and opportunities for this field. These changes reflect global trends and highlight the persistent structural issues the Malaysian Chinese publishing industry faces. In this session, we will explore observations on the contemporary state of the industry from the viewpoints of small publishers and bookstores, and discuss potential pathways for its future development.

The session will be in Mandarin.

At the heart of Howard Tanโ€™s upcoming solo exhibition, ๐™๐™ค๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™Š๐™—๐™Ÿ๐™š๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™จ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™Š๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ง ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ก๐™ก๐™–๐™œ๐™š ๐˜ผ๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™ฌ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ ๐™จ lies the concept of found objectsโ€”elements collected over the years that reflect Howardโ€™s childhood memories, particularly from the fishing villages of his upbringing. These materials, whether wood, metal, or concrete, come together in assemblage works that showcase his lifelong connection to disorganized settings filled with rich textures. This tactile approach almost mirrors the ambiance of dilapidated spaces in Penang, capturing the essence of a locale steeped in history and sentiment. By repurposing these found objects, he crafts an intersection between the past and present, while also revealing the beauty inherent in what is often forgotten and overlooked.ย 

Building upon his earlier assemblage works, Howardโ€™s current exhibition is a natural progression of his artistic practice. His previous pieces laid the groundwork for a more playful exploration of mixed media, a technique heโ€™s intimately familiar with, thanks to his formative experiences. Howardโ€™s creative process resembles that of a chef in the kitchenโ€”scouring his surroundings for โ€œingredientsโ€ and trusting his intuition to guide the assembly of each piece. Just as a recipe evolves through experimentation, Howardโ€™s creations emerge from a thoughtful interplay of materialities, resulting in a blend of textures and forms, ultimately culminating in works that evoke both nostalgia and a sense of place.ย

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us at last Sunday night for the first-ever screenings in Penang of โ€œ๐™’๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™†๐™š๐™ก๐™ž๐™–๐™ฃ - ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™๐™ค๐™ง๐™œ๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ฃ ๐™‘๐™–๐™ก๐™ก๐™š๐™ฎโ€, and โ€œ๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™Ž๐™ค๐™ก๐™คโ€. It was an honor to share both the hidden beauty of Wang Kelian and the moving story of Solo , the last known white-handed gibbon in Bukit Serdang. We hope these glimpses into Malaysiaโ€™s natural wonders sparked a deeper appreciation for our countryโ€™s landscapes, wildlife, and collective stories.

Following the screenings, Peter Ong led a thought-provoking Q&A session, providing attendees with a closer look at the documentaries and Malaysiaโ€™s lesser-known hidden treasures. The evening concluded with an impromptu tour of the Monkey Business exhibition, where Peterโ€™s expert storytelling brought the 12 primate species of Peninsular Malaysia to life, as he highlighted their unique traits and behaviours while emphasizing the pressing need for their conservation.

Through โ€œ๐™ˆ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ ๐™š๐™ฎ ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š๐™จ๐™จโ€, Peter and Christine Das aimed to elevate awareness of Malaysiaโ€™s biodiversity by presenting a poignant narrative through photography and artโ€”one that celebrates the beauty of nature while highlighting the critical importance of its preservation. We hope you found the exhibition meaningful and inspiring, sparking reflection on how we can all work toward a harmonious coexistence with our natural world.

We are grateful to each and every one of you for being part of this journey with us in raising awareness and fostering conversations about safeguarding Malaysiaโ€™s wildlife wonders through art and storytelling!

Malaysia is home to an incredible diversity of primates; from the playful antics of cheeky macaques to the harmonious calls of gibbons, our forests are alive with these remarkable creatures.
