  • Getting here

    The Annexe is situated in the building directly behind the Central Market building. Take note that the two buildings are not structurally connected. If you’re reaching us by walking through the main Central Market building, you have to come out of the back entrance to find the Annexe. Look out for Gajah-gajah Gallery that’s located on the ground floor. The Annexe Gallery (and office) is on the top floor of the Annexe, which is the 2nd floor. The Studio and Theatre are situated on the 1st floor. The mezzanine and ground floors are occupied by leased tenants.

    If you’re taking public transport, the nearest train station to Central Market is the RapidKL Pasar Seni LRT station. If you’re taking a cab, most taxi drivers will understand “Central Market” as the destination, but you will have to orientate yourself toward to the Annexe.

PECHA KUCHA

Slideshow Social
Sat 24 May, 7:30pm to 10:30pm, Annexe Gallery
Presented by The British Council KL

Pecha Kucha was started in Tokyo, Japan in 2003, where designers and everyone else were invited to present a slideshow of 20 images, each shown for only 20 seconds – giving a total presentation time of 6 minutes and 40 seconds. It has since gone global as a fun social networking event for creative to talk about… well… creative things! For this edition of Pecha Kucha, presenters include Ridwan Kamil, Mun Kao, Simon Keogh, Zhin Teng, Elaine Foster, PopMalaya, and the Creative United Movement (aka C.U.M). There will be beer, DJ sets before and after, not to mention great company!

OUT OF LINE: Doodles & Dreamscapes

Art Exhibition
Thu 29 May to Sun 15 Jun, Annexe Gallery
Presented by The Annexe

Exhibition opening: Thu 29 May, 8pm
Admission free

Society and authorities draw lines around us everyday. What can we do about it? We draw more lines, of course. The Annexe Gallery presents 15 artists who were asked to create works with lines, but who were also challenged to step out of line. They show us how little or how much is needed to step beyond the line that prevents us from expressing ourselves. Have imagination, will travel!

The artists: Avroco, Chang Yoong Chia, Cheeway, Daniel Chong, Jerome Kugan, K Soon, Melissa Lin, Mun Kao, Pang Khee Teik, Saharil Hasrin Sanin, Sharil Nizam, Tey Beng Tze, They, Why, Wong Eng Leong.

Special note to interested collectors: This is a plum opportunity to purchase works at a steal as all the art are priced under RM1,000. Interested art buyers are encouraged to attend a special preview on Wed 28 May.

For enquiries, please contact:
