It was business as usual at the National Art Gallery (NAG) today after it reinstated all four artworks from contemporary Malaysian artist Ahmad Fuad Osman’s solo exhibition that were taken down earlier this month.
Today was the first full-day for the masses to view the previously censored works at NAG following the reinstallation process which took place yesterday causing the show to be closed to the public for a few hours.
The removal of these works from Ahmad Fuad's show At The End Of The Day Even Art Is Not Important (1990-2019), allegedly because they were too political and obscene, had caused a public uproar, prompting calls for the reinstatement of the art.
