Maybank Art Collection Exhibition (MACE)

The Maybank Art Collection Exhibition (MACE) marks the first time Maybank is presenting selected artworks from its collection to the public.

Over several decades, Maybank has built an art collection through works that were acquired and gifted to the Bank. Many of these artworks have long been part of Maybank’s offices and public spaces, encountered in everyday settings rather than in a gallery context. MACE brings these works together in a curated exhibition, allowing them to be viewed, experienced and engaged with more intentionally.

The exhibition reflects Maybank’s role as a custodian of these artworks. In opening the collection to the public, MACE aims to make the works more accessible while respecting the artists, the integrity of the artworks, and the broader cultural landscape they belong to.

The inaugural MACE will run over three months and is presented in three curatorial cycles, featuring a total of 90 artworks. Each cycle introduces a refreshed selection of works from the collection, offering visitors different perspectives and encouraging repeat visits over the exhibition period.

The Maybank Art Collection Exhibition is a free walk-in exhibition that does not require prior booking or registration.

Julung kalinya, Pameran Koleksi Seni Maybank (MACE) mempersembahkan karya-karya seni terpilih daripada simpanannya buat tatapan khalayak umum.

Selama beberapa dekad, Maybank telah membina sebuah koleksi seni melalui karya yang diperoleh dan dihadiahkan kepada bank tersebut. Banyak daripada karya ini telah lama menghiasi pejabat dan ruang awam Maybank, ditatap dalam suasana harian dan bukannya dalam konteks galeri. Dalam pameran kuratorial ini, MACE menghimpunkan karya-karya yang dapat dihayati dengan lebih bermakna.

Pameran ini mencerminkan peranan Maybank sebagai penjaga karya tersebut. Dengan membuka koleksi ini kepada khalayak umum, MACE bertujuan untuk menjadikan karya tersebut lebih mudah diakses, pada masa yang sama menghormati para seniman, keutuhan karya, serta landskap budaya yang lebih luas.

Edisi sulung MACE akan berlangsung selama tiga bulan dan dipersembahkan dalam tiga kitaran kuratorial, menampilkan keseluruhan 90 karya seni. Setiap kitaran memperkenalkan pilihan karya yang diperbaharui daripada koleksi tersebut, menawarkan sudut pandang berbeza kepada pengunjung serta menggalakkan kunjungan berulang sepanjang tempoh pameran.

MACE ialah sebuah pameran tanpa bayaran yang tidak memerlukan pendaftaran atau tempahan awal.
