Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Robert Rauschenberg and Asia
Q: What is the significance of Rocky Malaysia in KL and Malaysia's art scene?
Rocky Malaysia highlighted KL as a key stop in a global tour, celebrated multiculturalism, and involved substantial local funding, helping to propel a generation of Malaysian artists and establishing international dialogues through archival material and public programs.
Robert Rauschenberg and Asia
Q: What drew him to Asia and how did those travels shape his practice?
From early on he collected materials on travels, engaged with artisans, and through collaborations in Japan, India, and China he developed works that fused local techniques with his experimental approach, influencing his broader artistic trajectory and the Rocky project.
Robert Rauschenberg and Asia
Q: Could you tell us a bit about Robert Rauschenberg and why he is considered an important figure in modern and contemporary art?
Rauschenberg pushed beyond abstract painting by incorporating everyday objects, creating combines, collaborating across disciplines, and blending painting with sculpture and technology, which helped shift the art world toward multimedia and cross-cultural exchanges.
Hungry
Q: How would you describe Hungry in a nutshell?
It's a recognizable family drama about the Asian family, focusing on dynamics, memory, and relationships, with ghosts as a thematic overlay rather than a straight ghost story.
Across Galaxies & Kingdoms
Q: What is Across Galaxies & Kingdoms about and what can audiences expect from the live experience?
It's a journey through the most beloved cinematic worlds, performed live with an emphasis on storytelling through sound, where audiences relive familiar moments with orchestral color and energy, accompanied by choir and a diverse ensemble.
