Tey Beng Tze





TEY BENG TZE
(b. 1983, Kuala Lumpur) graduated from Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA). He is also one of the founding member of FINDARS. He has been actively participating in various group exhibitions locally since 2003 that were held in Petronas Gallery, Valentine Willie Fine Art, The Annexe Gallery, etc. and has held his first solo exhibition, “Dirty Mary Crazy Mickey” at FINDARS@Annexe (2009).

Tey’s work is a self-exploration through painting, using visual language and owned experience, from bits to specific, sometimes nonsense, sometimes practical, but preferred to be darkly presented. “Darkness existed everywhere in real life, it just always being splendidly packaging”, that’s Tey’s perspective.

"Exit Through the Gift Shop" & "Exit Through Jalan Sultan" Movie Screening

Exit Through the Gift Shop



"Exit Through the Gift Shop: A Banksy Film (with Chinese subtitle)" is a film directed by Banksy, that tells the story of Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant in Los Angeles, and his obsession with street art.

The film charts Guetta's constant documenting of his every waking moment on film, from a chance encounter with his cousin, the artist Invader, to his introduction to a host of street artists with a focus on Shepard Fairey and Banksy, whose anonymity is preserved by obscuring his face and altering his voice, to Guetta's eventual fame as a street artist himself.

There has been debate over whether the documentary is genuine or a mockumentary.
