Multimedia artist Doug Aitken will present his first exhibition in India, titled “Under the Sun,” opening December 6 at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai. The site-specific show, commissioned by NMACC and curated by Roya Sachs and Mafalda Kahane of TRIADIC, spans three floors exploring past, present, and future through hand-carved wooden sculptures, embroidered textiles, a light installation, and Aitken’s film NEW ERA (2018), created in collaboration with over a dozen Indian artisans.

Young artist honours Pekan Nenas’ pineapple farmers

Young Malaysian artist Lee Wei Heng, 22, has opened his first solo exhibition titled "Ananas" at Artas Gallery in Petaling Jaya. The show features 17 oil paintings that document the grueling lives of pineapple farmers in Pekan Nenas, Johor, where his grandparents worked as laborers. Lee, who studied fine arts and worked part-time in the plantations during school holidays, captures the farmers' daily struggles—from cutting thorny fruit under the sun to praying for protection against wild animals. His works, such as the monochromatic "Old Farmer," use motifs like the parang (machete) to symbolize both the farmers' hidden identities and their pain.
