About Galerie Huit Penang<br />
Galerie Huit Penang, the Malaysian little sister of Galerie Huit Arles, is situated in a traditional shophouse, in<br />
the historic centre of George Town, on the island of Penang. Listed as an Unesco World Heritage site since<br />
2008, the multi-cultural city of George Town is now recognised as a Southeast Asian urban treasure.<br />
Galerie Huit Penang showcases both local and international artists in an informal setting. It is situated in<br />
Muntri Street, once the domain of wealthy Chinese spice and other merchants. The Muntri Street area is fast<br />
regaining another lease of life, with a lively art scene, cafes and boutique hotels attracting new energy back<br />
to the inner city.<br />
GALERIE HUIT PENANG, MUNTRI STREET<br />
About the theme and the responses to the theme: Transience<br />
The theme Transience invited work that evoked and relayed references that relate to change and the<br />
process of changing and our relationship to a permanent state of transition, impermanence and the passing<br />
of time.<br />
The notion of Transience encouraged the exploration of any number of observations, concepts, emotions,<br />
experiences and beliefs. So it is not surprising that the interpretations, response and genres relating to the<br />
theme were so versatile, creative and thought provoking and covered a range of subject matters ranging<br />
from personal, historical, environmental, cultural, global, political, social, geographical, fictional or seasonal.<br />
