Ever since it\u2019s inaugural debut, the 18@8 series of exhibitions by Wei-Ling Gallery have continuously brought to the forefront a compilation of Malaysia\u2019s most prominent contemporary and emerging artists. With each edition, a theme is presented to the artists that allow them the freedom to experiment and encourages them to think outside the box.<\/p>\n<p>The first edition in 2005 featured 18 artists at No. 8 Jalan Scott (the Gallery\u2019s address). In 2006 the second instalment of <em>18@8 KUL-KHI<\/em> was presented at the Amin Gulgee Gallery in Karachi, Pakistan while 2007 saw the exhibition back on home soil. In the following two years the exhibition took on a new twist.<em> 18@8-Vice and Virtue<\/em> in 2008 saw nine selected artists creating two works each corresponding to one vice and one virtue. In 2009, <em>18@8 1Malaysia: Beyond the Canvas<\/em>, the artists were asked to express themselves outside the confines of the canvas, to document their ideas of what 1Malaysia stands for through a central \u2018transportation\u2019 theme. <em>Absolut18@8<\/em> saw the artists working on Absolut bottles which were then auctioned off in aid of the SPCA and the following year the gallery and artists worked with IDN to raise RM 90,000 for ACRES through the sale of 18 Robonut toys. <em>18@8 Mirror, Mirror On The Wall<\/em> featured 12 custom designed Furla Candy bags that were auctioned off at a nett total of RM70,600 for the SPCA. In the most recent installment of <em>18@8Heirlooms<\/em>, the artists were asked to create artworks reflecting state of affairs at the time; projecting a message of his\/her hopes, fears, advice; an heirloom of sorts that will be passed down from one generation to another.<\/p>\n<p>This time, with <em>18@8 RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!<\/em>, 11 artists were asked to look within, to come up with a work which is more introspective, and perhaps a true reflection of who they are today and what their work stands for now \u2013 and therein lies the inspiration for the title.<\/p>\n<p>In conjunction with #BuroArtBeat immersive experience, Buro24\/7 Malaysia, and the gallery will be hosting a charity auction where the 11 artists have each been given a glass bubble, to reinterpret, in a tribute to the Corum Bubble watch. Each artist has been given free reign to put their creative spin on the glass bubbles, which will then be auctioned off to benefit a charity.<br \/>\nTwo artists; Ruzzeki Harris and Wong Chee Meng will also be partaking in a live performance in collaboration with Google, to launch the Google Tilt Brush in Malaysia. The performance will include the use of the Tilt Brush \u2013 a new virtual reality app that allows the user to paint in three dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>18@8 RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!<\/em> Artists are Cheng Yen Pheng, Chin Kong Yee, Chong Kim Chiew, Choy Chun Wei, Fauzan Omar, Hamidi Hadi, Ivan Lam, Ruzzeki Harris, Sean Lean, Wong Chee Meng and Yau Bee Ling.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>18@8 RIGHT HERE!

For our inaugural #BuroArtBeat project, Buro 24\/7 Malaysia has commissioned two Malaysian artists, Wong Chee Meng and Ruzzeki Harris to create an art piece like no other. The Google Tilt Brush will allow them to step around, in and through their paintings as they go, and allow them to use otherwise-impossible materials like fire, stars or snowflakes within their work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-10395\" src=\"http:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Buro_Malaysia.jpg\" alt=\"Buro_Malaysia\" width=\"249\" height=\"249\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 14px;
