BAD TASTE : AN ILLUSTRATION EXHIBITION EXHIBITION SPACE DESIGN
As a member of Meet The Kawan, I was responsible for the exhibition design of Bad Taste: An Illustration Exhibition. This involved planning and designing the exhibition space, crafting and producing exhibition wayfinding and information signage, and creating an immersive aesthetic that enhances the exhibition's theme and message.

As a place where people from different walks of life come together to buy food and necessities, a local mini-mart was the perfect inspiration for exploring the idea of bad taste. The key visual for the poster is inspired by the chaotic and frenzied nature of exploring a mini-mart, with items featured in a seemingly random and haphazard way to create a feeling of discovery and exploration.
One of the standout items is the banana, famously sold for $120,000, which nods to the absurdity of the contemporary art market. Another item, toilet paper with the "Panic" label, references the toilet paper frenzy of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Other items are inspired by the artworks of the three curators, each with its own unique story and cultural significance.
To reflect Malaysia's multi-diverse culture, I included the Chinese, Malay, and Tamil words for "bad taste" in the poster. This mix of languages is commonly found in mini-marts, as they cater to people of different races who use products with packaging in different languages.
By creating a vibrant and eclectic space that reflects the diverse cultural landscape of Malaysia, I hope to encourage viewers to embrace the unexpected and celebrate the many different ways we can experience the world around us.
