1000 Tiny Artworks

8 - 12 October 2005

Hin Bus Depot, Penang, Malaysia

1000 Tiny Artworks will be exhibited in Penang for the very first time outside Kuala Lumpur. This much-anticipated third edition, presented at Hin Bus Depot, continues the spirit of accessibility and inclusivity that has defined the project since its inception in 2021, bringing art closer to the community while supporting both emerging and established artists.

Featuring a fresh lineup of 100 artists, each contributing 10 original works measuring 10cm × 10cm, the exhibition showcases an impressive total of 1,000 tiny artworks, despite their modest size, these works embody the imagination, skill, and individuality of their makers.

Since its first edition, 1000 Tiny Artworks has championed experimentation, gathering artists across practices and perspectives to create works that are modest in scale yet rich in character and vision. This Penang edition builds upon that legacy, presenting a platform that recognises new and established voices.

Join us as we celebrate this collaboration and discover a thousand stories told through the smallest of canvases.

Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall B

Fukuoka City, Fukuoka, Japan

A+ Works of Art is excited to announce our participation in Art Fair Asia Fukuoka (AFAF) 2025. This year marks Art Fair Asia Fukuoka (AFAF) tenth year running, with support from Fukuoka City via the Fukuoka Art Next initiative and Culture Vision Japan Inc. 

We will be showing three artists, including five works by Joshua Kane Gomes. 

‘For all the precious things I’ve lost’ is a series of sculptures that touch on involuntary recall and the erosion of memory. This series borrows its premise from Marcel Proust’s novel In Search of Lost Time, in which the grown-up narrator is flooded by a cascade of childhood memories after taking a bite of a madeleine dipped in tea.

The experience of memories triggered by sensory cues, known as the Proust Phenomenon, is paired with Gomes’ own recurring visual symbolism such as the sinking black liquid: a reference to the temporal in-between space of limbo, in which he reimagines as a dark ocean, a plane that is visually obscure yet teeming with motion and sound; as well as felted dust bunnies: alluding to lost connections and the attrition of memory within the passage of time.

 A+ WORKS of ART is pleased to present, ’Lost time and the motions of the in-between’, a solo exhibition by Joshua Kane Gomes, curated by Alain Zedrick Camiling. 

“What happens when a motion is repeated, isolated, and/or amplified? When a sound, whether heard or merely sensed—a drip, a creak, a pulse—lingers longer than it should, what kind of resonance does it leave behind?

Lost time and the motions of the in-between is built around lingering: around moments that don’t quite end, around the tension between movement and stillness, and around presence and absence. It convenes kinetic sculptural configurations of hands, linocut prints, sonic fragments, and a video loop that attune us to the muffled choreography and scenography of the mundane.”

ILHAM Gallery Mobile Museum

In conjunction with the 10th anniversary of ILHAM Gallery, we are embarking on an ambitious and unique outreach project – a mobile gallery housed in a 40-foot climate-controlled shipping container which will travel throughout Malaysia by truck to reach a wide variety of audiences.

The project entitled SKOLA GAMBAR ILHAM is an extension of ILHAM Gallery’s commitment to make Malaysian art accessible to everyone, particularly to those who would not normally enjoy access. ILHAM Gallery will kick off Phase 1 of SKOLA GAMBAR ILHAM in July & August 2025 when the mobile gallery truck will travel to communities at low cost flats around the Klang Valley.

The specially curated exhibition onboard the mobile gallery truck is entitled Ceritalah and features artworks by 12 contemporary Malaysian artists - Anisa Abdullah, Ho Mei Kei, Ismail Hashim, Joshua Kane Gomes, Kide Badarudin, Nadirah Zakariya, Padil Osman, Pangrok Sulap, RafieeGhani, Sharon Chin, Vincent Leong, and Yau Bee Ling.  The exhibition offers an accessible selection of contemporary art with a wide range of techniques from painting, printmaking, collage and batik, to photography, sculpture, and video. The exhibition explores the way artists create narratives about contemporary life in Malaysia, whether documenting our daily life in the city and kampung, or reflecting on our relationships with our environment, our families, and each other. 

The exhibition will be accompanied by educational material and texts which will give viewers, particularly students, some background into the artworks as well as help to stimulate discussion and learning through reflective experience.  There will also be workshops and other programmes organized at each site visit.
