In conjunction with GALERI PETRONAS’ 20th Anniversary, (1992 – 2012), GALERI PETRONAS has taken a step forward to honour our past while supporting the future artists of Malaysia through the launch of a new online art platform for students. Through this pilot project, 97 secondary schools around Kuala Lumpur have been invited to submit their creative interpretations of the theme “Then, Now & Beyond”. It aims to encapsulate our rich history along with our limitless future. “…it is through their (young artists) eyes, imagination, and creativity, we see our country today, and we see what we want to become.” YB Khairy Jamaluddin, Minister of Youth & Sports, Malaysia 10th October 2013: Launching of Young Malaysian Artists - New Object(ion) II Exhibition Sempena ulang tahun GALERI PETRONAS ke-20, (1992 – 2012), GALERI PETRONAS mengimbau kembali masa lampau di samping memberi sokongan kepada bakat-bakat muda Malaysia dengan melancarkan platform baru untuk para pelajar. Melalui inisiatif seni ini, 97 sekolah menengah terpilih sekitar Kuala Lumpur telah dijemput untuk menghantar interpretasi kreatif terbaik oleh mereka untuk tema “Dulu, Kini & Selamanya”. Ia bertujuan untuk menzahirkan kekayaan sejarah kita dengan masa hadapan yang gemilang. ““… melalui cara mereka (artis-artis muda) melihat, imaginasi serta kreativiti mereka, kita dapat melihat pencapaian negara hari ini, dan seterusnya masa depan yang kita tujui.” YB Khairy Jamaluddin, Menteri Belia & Sukan, Malaysia 10hb Oktober 2013: Perasmian Pameran Young Malaysian Artists - New Object(ion) II
