This month, the Back Room KL at the Zhongshan Building (Jalan Rotan, off Jalan Kampung Attap, KL) has transformed its art gallery space into an "art retail" pop-up to sell exclusive merchandise/artworks from a selection of local artists.

The Back Room Shop, which runs until Jan 31, is a collaboration with Outlet, an online platform for printmakers and more.
