KOTA KINABALU: A co-founder of Pillars of Sabah , a community art initiative in the heart of the city, believes the removal of artwork from the site without informing the artists is an example of government departments “bullying” the people.
He said although SAG, as the land owner, could do what it wished with the site, it should have informed the artists of its intention to remove the artwork. “What’s the point ? It’s to stand up to bullies … we have to show that we just can’t be treated like this,” he told FMT.“We have been working on the basis of trust with the gallery who became our collaborators. Everytime we wanted to do something new with the site, we would seek their permission, so that makes them our partners.
Jared said the third edition of the POS project was funded by the federal Cultural Economy Development Agency .“It’s federal funding to boost the art community for the sake of public art appreciation and yet SAG seems to not care about it. So, they have gone and destroyed something that does not belong to them.”
