The Art of the Anagram

Ajim Juxta, artist

The Art of the Anagram

For his latest exhibition, Malaysia artist Ajim Juxta moves away from the typical solo show format in favour of a more collaborative approach, working with other artists and writers. The result is “Tugu|Ugut”, an exhibition that uses text, specifically anagrams, to reflect on the world around us. We speak to Ajim about the works in the show, and the process of creating them.
