Title :	LAMU - Let Arts Move You
Venue :	Various Venues
Date & Time :	Sat 27 Oct - Sun 4 Nov 2007
Tickets :	Free

Synopsis : The main idea is straightforward enough - to fill the KTM Komuter trains and train stations with art, and to let the arts move people physically and emotionally.

The Let Arts Move You (LAMU) project brings together 11 Malaysian and regional artists, commuters and the public transportation system in an innovative visual art event in Kuala Lumpur.

It aims at presenting the dynamic and creative situation of urban life in KL, drawing connections between artistic interventions and the rapid pace of urban development.

LAMU provides artists with KTM Komuter trains, the KL Sentral and Old Kuala Lumpur train stations as platforms to create work that actively engage commuters - to bring art to people in real and everyday encounters.

Artworks will be located both inside the train and in the stations and surrounding grounds.

LAMU also aims to take the act of commuting beyond mundane and routine journeys - travelling in public transportation can be a sensorial and educational experience.
