A+ WORKS of ART is a contemporary art gallery based in Kuala Lumpur, with a geographic focus on Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Founded in 2017, the gallery presents a wide range of contemporary practices, from painting to perform

ance, drawing, sculpture, new media art, photography, video and installation.

Since its opening, the gallery has worked with artists, curators, writers, collectors, galleries and partners from within the region and beyond, and continues to look out for new collaborations.

A+ WORKS OF ART is pleased to present Dramaturgies of attention, featuring works by Atsuko Yamagata, Costantino Zicarelli, Erika Mayo, Janis Reyes, Joshua Kane Gomes, Luis Antonio Santos, and W. Rajaie, curated by Alain Zedrick Camiling.

📅 Opening reception on Friday, 8 May at 7-10 PM
🗣️A discussion between Joshua Kane Gomes and W. Rajaie, moderated by Alain Zedrick Camiling, is scheduled at 8 PM

“How does meaning emerge as we move across surfaces, spaces, and ways of seeing?

Dramaturgies of attention convenes works by Atsuko Yamagata, Costantino Zicarelli, Erika Mayo, Janis Reyes, Joshua Kane Gomes, Luis Antonio Santos, and W. Rajaie, curated by Alain Zedrick Camiling.

The exhibition perceives meaning as something that is produced by each individual’s dynamic negotiation between matters, structures, and the movement of attention itself, explicated through perceptual zones, where multiple ways of seeing and looking intersect and coexist. In this lens, works in this exhibition are approached as conditions shaped by multiple dramaturgies, shaping how we gather, disperse, and redirect attention.” - Alain Zedrick Camiling

Four-eyed beings, rearing horses, and falling marigolds are seen in Amin Taasha’s new body of work.

At the centre of his paintings sit four-eyed figures. Their presence and doubled gaze challenges conventional ways of seeing. Rather than occupying a divine position, these figures reflect a heightened awareness that understands more, and therefore carries more.

Taasha’s paintings invite viewers into a layered visual field where seeing becomes an active and evolving action.

As part of Singapore Biennale 2025: pure intention, Tan Zi Hao’s works, “The Scale of One” and “Levelling Schemes”, can be viewed at 49 Tanglin Halt Road, #01–357.

Commonly found in domestic spaces, the household casebearer survives by consuming and gathering particles that originate from our bodies and homes, constructing its own home in the form of a fusiform case. To focus on the cases of household casebearers is to observe the human through “an inverted telescope.” Composed of dust, dead skin, and other detritus, these protective shields contain microscopic traces of our human existence, worldly materials we use, and perhaps, squander. The two installations play with the relative scale of insect and human by drawing attention to an oddity of matter collected by the casebearers. Through this, the work suggests that in the grand scheme of human endeavours, our intentions are as careless as the debris we produce. Yet, we persist in a relentless pursuit of progress, as if the waste we unwittingly produce can sustain entire worlds.

As SG Art Week begins, you can find Izat Arif’s ‘In Loving Memory’ sprawled across the city as part of ‘Singapore Biennale: pure intention’.
__
In Loving Memory highlights the socialness of public areas and in the choice of the stone material, asserts a desire for permanence. Painted with the artist’s reflections on ideas of progress, material memories and social aspirations, the work offers a spot to rest and engage in conversations on urban transformations, personal and collective remembrances and evolving forms of social interaction. The artwork comprises ten Terrazzo benches placed in publicly accessible spaces. They recall “donation” benches, once a common sight in Singapore, which acknowledged individual acts of giving toward the collective good. The artwork thus asks viewers to reflect on the individual’s role in contributing to the city’s sociability and seeks participation to how cities are shaped, experienced and interacted with.

The texts painted on the Terrazzo benches collectively carry the artist’s personal reflections on his experiences amid changing material and social landscapes. With his characteristic humour, Izat Arif quips about togetherness and his own identity in some of these texts. Other lines are written with a sense of anticipation for improving lives, while a few remind us of those who came before us and helped shape what we enjoy today.

“The World as Ritual” is a solo exhibition by Than Sok, curated by Andrea Fam. It is on view from now until the 28th of February!

Be sure to book a time to visit via the link in our bio.

__
This exhibition marks a renewed collaboration between Cambodian artist Than Sok, and curator Andrea Fam. It presents a focused yet expansive view of the artist’s sustained engagement with spirituality, materiality, and lived experience in contemporary Cambodia. Bringing together works from the “Objects of Belief” series, recent paintings, and the first comprehensive narration of Sok’s “Kbach Teuk” series, the exhibition traces how vernacular ornamentation, religious symbolism, and acts of repetition operate as sites of inquiry rather than fixed meaning. Accompanying the exhibition is an in-conversation essay between artist and curator, which offers additional depth through reflection and dialogue rather than linear narration. Together, the exhibition and conversation invite viewers into a contemplative space where belief is understood not as certainty, but as something continually formed and tested.

Happy birthday Hà Ninh Phạm!

Hà Ninh Phạm is an artist from Hanoi, Vietnam. His work explores the way in which we build up our understanding of territories from afar. Hà Ninh earned his MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2018 and his BFA from the Vietnam University of Fine Arts in 2014. His work has been featured on Hyperallergic, New American Paintings, and ArtandMarket. Hà Ninh has been in residence at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the Corporation of Yaddo, Wassaic Project, the Marble House Project in the United States, Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, and PLOP in the United Kingdom.

Notable shows of his include Cheats Codes at FRONT Art Space in New York, Institute of Distance at S.E.A Focus 2021 in Singapore, and the group show Dogma Prize: Introspection at Gallery Quynh, Ho Chi Minh city. Hà Ninh had a solo exhibition, ‘Fugitive Zone’ at Galerie BAQ in Paris, France and has participated in Leading Asia at Art Fair Asia Fukoka and Art Jakarta. Most recently, Hà Ninh’s work was a part of our exhibition at the end of the year, Sentul Biennale: To Our Friends.

28/12/2025

Yim Yen Sum’s exhibition “Through The Window, The Shore Moves” is now on view until 14 January 2026 at Think City, UAB Building, Penang.

Be sure to join the free guided tours led by Ayoub Hojjat taking place every Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 11:45am, as well as from 2pm to 2:45pm! No pre-registration is required to attend.

This presentation is in collaboration with ThinkCity and sponsored by Bon Ton Locale.

Cities fray and mend. They are held together by threads of memory that stretch across generations and architecture. In Through The Window, The Shore Moves, Yim Yen Sum traces these threads through woven architectural façades rendered in gold thread against expansive black-dyed gauze.

Yen Sum does not document specific buildings so much as refract the city through accumulated impressions. The needle in Yen Sum’s hands embodies a contradiction: it both mends and wounds, echoing the tensions inherent in human relationships and urban change. A single line is fragile but when gathered into planes becomes structure. Her process mirrors this formation of connection: individuals becoming families, families becoming communities, communities becoming cities. Each stitch marks a moment of contact, care, and tension, emphasising that cities are built as much through human relations as through material systems.
