We look forward to seeing you at the opening of ILTIZAM Seni Art Residency Cycle 3 Exhibition, ‘Alir’ tomorrow, April 30th at 7.30pm.

27/04/2026

The ILTIZAM Seni Art Residency Cycle 3 Exhibition, 'Alir', opens on Thursday, April 30th at 7.30pm.

The residency programme runs over four months, from October 2025 to January 2026, during which the artists share a temporary working and living environment in Karak, Pahang. The residency culminates in an exhibition that positions Karak as an active point of enquiry through which each artist develops their work. Rather than producing a singular reading of place, the artworks reveal how one site can unfold into multiple trajectories of meaning.

Each artist engages Karak through a distinct lens: Aliﬀ approaches landscape as a psychological condition, internalising the terrain as a space of memory and emotional adjustment; Ammar instigates a paradox of authenticity, translating agricultural processes into layered, constructed mechanism; Khairanee celebrates Karak as a spiritual plane, transforming observation into an expansive and animated ecosystem of human and non-human; while Mairul understands Karak as part of a broader network of relations, mapping connections between land, movement, and lived experience.

The preview of ILTIZAM Seni Art Residency Exhibition, 'Alir' commences on Thursday, April 23rd.

In collaboration with SARENG, this four-month residency marks its third cycle, bringing together four selected artists—Aliﬀ Danial, Ammar Idris, Khairanee Iro, and Mairul Malek.

Guided by the notion of Alir—a Malay word for flow or stream—the residency is conceived as a space of transition, inviting artists to pause, shift, and recalibrate their practices. The surrounding environment—both physical and social—serves as a generative condition for rethinking and reframing artistic approaches. This exhibition marks the culmination of the residency, presenting works developed during a period of incubation. Rather than offering fixed conclusions, the exhibition lingers in the in-between—where ideas emerge, recede, and reconfigure through process.

The 'Faith' series by Muhammadsuriyee Masu is currently featured in the 'Coming Home' exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Plus (MOCA+) in Kuantan, Pahang. An artwork from this series has also been added to the permanent collection of the Pahang Museum.

The exhibition officially opened on April 1, 2026, and was inaugurated by Her Royal Highness Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah. The show will be open to the public until June 2026.

'Coming Home' showcases a collection of contemporary artworks by both local and international artists that highlight the exalted status and position of knowledge ('ilm) in Islam. Religion itself carries the meaning of something that is returned to repeatedly (ar-raj'), where a person's return requires knowledge and clarity (bayan). This is because a human being's return to God necessitates understanding the nature of man and knowing the Creator (ma'rifatullah), which draws a person closer to God, something that can only be attained through knowledge.

MOCA+ is an extension of the existing Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and is located within the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Royal Museum Complex in Kuantan, Pahang. The museum was officially launched by the Pahang State Museum Corporation in May 2025. It reflects the development and commitment of the Pahang Museum to showcase contemporary artworks by local and international artists and the cultural heritage. This initiative is part of a royal effort to promote art and culture in the region.

We look forward to seeing you at the opening of ‘Faith’ by Muhammadsuriyee Masu tonight at 7.30pm.

11/02/2026

Muhammadsuriyee’s upbringing is deeply grounded in Islamic teachings. For him, the mosque is more than just an architectural structure or a symbol; it is understood as an organised system that shapes time, movement, and social interactions. The mosque influences how people gather, pray, learn, and engage with one another. Islamic philosophy, which emphasises consistency, discipline, and repetition, shapes not only his worldview but also the foundation of his artistic practice.

The repetition seen in the visuals of the 'Faith' series reflects Islamic practices rooted in regularity and discipline, such as zikr (remembrance of God) and the five daily prayers. The steady rhythm of the forms mirrors the consistent rhythm of religious life. 'Faith' is portrayed not as a moment of transcendence or a break from the ordinary, but rather as a series of small, repeated actions that foster balance and continuity.

'Faith' by Muhammadsuriyee Masu opens this Thursday, February 12th at 7.30pm.

'Faith', a solo exhibition by Muhammadsuriyee Masu, opens on Thursday, February 12th at 7.30pm.

Texture plays a crucial role in shaping the 'Faith' series. Muhammadsuriyee uses materials like calcium carbonate clay, wood, latex glue, and acrylic paint to create surfaces that feel more constructed than painted. The geometric arrangement of the clay forms glistening, crystalline textures that capture and reflect light, echoing the physical weight and permanence of mosque architecture.

Small clay blocks are carefully arranged and coloured to create optical effects that encourage slow, thoughtful observation, mirroring the essence of prayer. Fragments of Arabic characters and calligraphic strokes occasionally appear in the compositions—not to convey specific meanings, but to introduce a sense of rhythm and presence. This approach highlights how religious language is embodied through sound, movement, and repetition. Muhammadsuriyee’s works inspire viewers to contemplate how faith acts as a spiritual anchor in everyday life, offering hope and stability in the face of challenges.

The preview of 'Faith' – a solo exhibition by Muhammadsuriyee Masu commences on Saturday, February 7th.

With Ramadan approaching, the 'Faith' series explores the role of religion as a source of comfort, meaning, and support in people's lives. It highlights how faith can provide solace during challenging times and serve as a guiding compass, helping individuals navigate their thoughts and emotions with clarity and purpose.

This exhibition features a series of mixed media paintings by Muhammadsuriyee, where the architectural form of a mosque serves as the conceptual basis for his work. Through repeated geometric shapes, his pieces create a sense of rhythm and unity in composition, mirroring the consistent and systematic practice of religious rites. This creative process aims to reflect a way of life rooted in faith, representing not only a religious expression but also a system of meaning that promotes inner peace and establishes balance in life, even amid uncertainty and challenges.
