Outside-In exhibition brings 3 artists together
Galeri Sasha's latest show brings together 3 artists working far from the mainstream art world WHAT happens when artists step away from the mainstream? Outside-In exhibition, opening July 12 at Galeri Sasha, brings together three Malaysian artists: Fauzan Fuad, Dhavinder Singh and Sanan Anuar whose work is shaped not by institutions, but by solitude, memory and the places they call their own. Presented as a quiet, introspective group show, Outside-In moves through painting and mixed media to explore how personal experience, space and distance influence the way artists see and express themselves. Beyond the Mainstream Fauzan and Sanan are self-taught artists, while Dhavinder is based in Penang, away from the Kuala Lumpur (KL) art scene. Each artist has developed a language of their own: Personal, independent and often in quiet resistance to the mainstream art scene. Rather than being a limitation, this distance becomes a generative force, allowing each of them to explore alternative approaches and themes. The Livings by Fauzan Fuad Instinct, Revision Fauzan's recent paintings emerge from a period of reflection during his residency at Rimbun Dahan. Working through layers of paint, he allows both instinct and doubt to remain visible on the surface. Some marks feel resolved, others less so. Rather than editing them out, he treats them as part of the process. Each canvas becomes a kind of ledger — of impulse, revision and the ongoing negotiation between intention and acceptance. Dhavinder's Sitting still, planting thoughts (empty tv) Uneasy Interiors Dhavinder constructs domestic scenes populated by familiar objects: Plastic chairs, houseplants, folding stools that are placed in unstable, flattened, off-kilter, deliberately estranged. His compositions reject architectural logic in favour of a psychological one. These spaces are not about comfort, but about how memory, estrangement and abstraction coexist in our lived environments. Ulang Tayang by Sanan Living Alone & Painting Sanan, who grew up in a large family, explores the shift of living alone for the first time in Kuala Lumpur. His Sendiri series captures this transition through mixed media paintings that explore themes of repetition, hesitation and emotional drift. Using acrylic, pastel and screen printing, he traces the quiet textures of daily life, moments when time slows, loops or pauses and reflects on how solitude can transform both him and his artwork. A Quiet Show with Room for Reflection Together, the three artists invite viewers to consider how distance — from others, from the centre — can open up new ways of seeing. Outside-In doesn't speak from the mainstream, but from its edges, offering slow, reflective works that reward close attention. Admission is free. The exhibition runs from July 12-27 at Galeri Sasha, 35A, Jalan Wan Kadir 2, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, KL.

Detroit Tigers opening day $500 parking fee victim finally gets justice
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Remember the man who was charged almost $500 to park his car on opening day? Well it turns out it was a big mistake. "If you just drive out of a parking structure to receive a text message saying that you're paying $472 - you don't really think to do much other than trying to figure out why," said Steven Livings. When Livings went downtown to watch the Detroit Tigers play on Opening Day, he expected to pay $50 for parking in total, when he parked at a Brush Street parking structure. Instead, he was charged $50 an hour. "They probably made $20,000 off that parking structure and they must have thought, 'We had a great day,'" Livings said. But Livings knew something wasn't right. He called his bank, FOX 2 and Metropolis — the company that owns the parking structure. And Friday he was refunded his money. "What they said was that they set the prices for the event, and when we all logged into the hourly rate which they set it at $50 an hour instead of $50 for the event, when you scan the QR code," he said. He now says he has some piece of mind — and that $472 back in his bank account The Metro Detroiter is hoping others learn from what happened to him and if something doesn't seem right - do some digging and start asking questions. "That was my main goal just to let people be aware," he said. "I was following the FOX 2 Facebook page and people were saying 'I was overcharged $50.' Someone said 'I was overcharged too,' and they took care of it with their bank. "So just to (raise awareness,) it's a great accomplishment to get it all taken care of. But this shouldn't have happened, but I'm in a better place for it now, than we were a week ago." The Source Information for this story was taken from an interview with Steven Livings.
