Malaysian artist Shooshie Sulaiman will explore the history and significance of rubber through her new installation Main Getah/Rubberscape, which has been commissioned by Jakarta's Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara (Macan).

Main Getah/Rubberscape, which will be unveiled at Museum Macan on Mar 1, will present two major themes - history and memory - that are central to Shooshie's practice.
