2929: The Royal Press Exhibition

The Royal Press temporarily moved from Jalan Hang Jebat, Melaka to Art Printing Works (APW), Bangsar as it began renovation in 2014. But after this journey from one home to another, The Royal Press has a growing fanbase, thanks to its wide reach here in the Klang Valley.

“‘2929’ is an exhibition to showcase our progress over the past two years. We want to take this opportunity to highlight the points of contact we have made throughout our stay in Kuala Lumpur, and how different people have walked into our lives and joined us in our journey.”

Anniketyni Madian
Madian has been practising and constructing her own sculptures since 2008. Embracing her Sarawakian heritage, her works consist of elements of Pua Kumbu textiles, traditionally woven by the Dayak women of Sarawak. The wooden sculptures are large but intimate, structured yet organic, powerful yet delicate.
“My sculptures are the product of an intensely detailed process, representing an atmosphere of movement in static design.”
