On 12 December 2009, an art exhibition entitled ‘Brushwork Odyssey in Malaysia: A Dutch Retelling’ was launched at Pulchri Studio in The Hague, the Netherlands. H.E. Ambassador Dato’ Dr Fauziah Mohamad Taib officiated the launching ceremony. A book of similar title on the art works, published by the Embassy of Malaysia, was also launched during the ceremony.
The art exhibition and book were part of the outreach project by the Embassy to increase awareness and foster greater understanding between Malaysia and the Netherlands at the people-to-people relations. The art works produced were based on the experience and observations of eight Dutch artists during their visit to Malaysia in January this year.
The art exhibition will be held for four weeks at Pulchri Studio, from 12 December 2009 to 10 January 2010.
