The little art show that could

ARTISTS and art lovers of all stripes seem to adore Pameran Poskad, that little biennial show selling artworks the size of postcards. Every iteration has drawn a packed house, with occasionally fractious scenes of collectors competing for big artists' miniature works.

Adhering to social distancing measures this year, the organisers are limiting the show at ION Art Gallery to 50 people per hour. And when the hour is up, the 50 will be politely asked to leave to make room for the next 50.

The seventh edition of Pameran Poskad opens on Saturday with a new section of small artworks - bigger than a postcard but smaller than your museum pieces - by some very senior artists. Their works will no doubt be among those collectors tussle over.
