Short Description
Tun Razak Exchange is calling on artists to shape the future cityscape. Through bold, dynamic public sculptures, we invite you to express what it means to live at the intersection of global ambition and local spirit — a city where heritage and innovation, community and capital, architecture and nature all converge.
This is your canvas.
The Theme: Intersection of Exchanges
We challenge artists to give form to the soul of Kuala Lumpur.
Your work should reflect the diverse flows that define TRX — where people, ideas, cultures, and experiences meet. We’re seeking sculpture designs that are not just visually striking, but emotionally resonant and deeply connected to the public realm.
This is more than an art installation. It’s a landmark in the making.
Eligibility
We’re inviting proposals in two categories:
Main Category: For Malaysian artists, designers, collectives, and studios.
Student Category: For Malaysian students studying locally or abroad, or international students currently enrolled in Malaysian institutions (ages 16 and above).
Submission Requirements
- Artist Bio G Portfolio – Especially works related to public or large-scale art.
- Concept Proposal – Include a title, concept description, visual mock- ups/sketches, material explanation, and estimated production timeline.
- Artist Statement – A short write-up aligning your idea with TRX’s theme and values.
