Order and Chaos: Interview with Shooshie Sulaiman
By Marybeth Stock
Subtle and difficult to describe, the works of Shooshie Sulaiman are archival yet immediate; delicate yet powerful. They engage the viewer with their intellect through a provocative blend of theater and installation. Sulaiman was born in Malaysia in 1973. After receiving a BA in Fine Art from the MARA University of Technology (UiTM) in 1996, she was given the National Art Gallery of Malaysia’s prestigious Young Contemporaries Award. Currently based in Kuala Lumpur, Shooshie also runs 12 Residence, an exhibition and project space and art-infused guesthouse.
