Art is Rubbish is Art - Solo Exhibition by Ernest Zacharevic

I went to have a look at the Art is rubbish/rubbish is art exhibition by Ernest Zacharevic yesterday. His solo exhibition in Penang is at the old Hin Bus Depot at Brick Klin Road (Jalan Gudwara), and currently running until 14 Feb 2014. Opening hours for the exhibition is from 12noon to 8pm.

This piece is titled Michael Jackson, ie the drink made from mixing grass jelly and soy milk.

Very apt for the Year of the Horse.

The famous Lego robber and woman are one of the exhibited items, but alas, the bag and the knife has been 'vandalised'. Besides that, there are various sculptures made from rubbish, as well as other pieces on various media plus paintings on the dilapidated walls in the building.

A meat-safe cabinet and various other 'junk' crafted into an art piece. 

More of Ernest Zacharevic's artwork on the walls of the dilapidated building.

With the backdrop of KOMTAR and the surrounding buildings, the exhibition site is good for a leisurely stroll in the evening whilst appreciating the creative works of Ernest Zacharevic.

Besides the pieces indoors, the scattered exhibit outdoors allows you to stroll casually on the grounds and 'stumbling' into his work or art behind walls or tucked in a shady corner.

Other than the exhibited artworks, do take a look at the building or rather the remnants of the building that used to be the Hin Bus Co. depot.  This building has an Art Deco/Streamline Moderne facade plus interesting tiles on the floor.

The quaint and lovely interior of the former Hin Bus Co. depot adds another 'artsy' dimension to his exhibit.
