Kedai Runcit No. 12

Kedai Runcit No. 12, at the Penang State Art Gallery (21 August 2011)


Kedai Runcit No. 12 is an art installation that was showcased at the Penang State Art Gallery in August, 2011. The installation creates the appearance of a traditional sundry shop, particularly one in a small town or kampung.

The sundry shop at Kedai Runcit No. 12 has a wooden front made of numbered planks. Miscellaneous goods spill out of the shop with bundles of items hung from the walls and ceiling. On the shelf one finds fresh eggs, vegetables, and glass canisters of dried goods. The walls are lined with racks on which are arranged rows of alluminium cans, flasks, teapots, cans of mosquito repellants and coils of raffia string.

Kedai Runcit No. 12 is the work of a group of Malaysian artists. They include Haslin Ismail, Hoo Kiew Hang, Rozana Musa, Linda Nordin and Izat Arif. It is a continuation of another art installation which was created for the Art Stage 2011 in Singapore.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
