马来西亚国家艺术馆1958年成立，当年第一任义务秘书Frank Sullivan先生和信托委员会成员林碧颜律师秉持职业操守、实事求是、大力提倡正确史观，可惜经常被人忽略。
The National Gallery of Art Malaysia was established in 1958. At that time, Mr. Frank Sullivan, the first Hon .Secretary, and P.G.Lim, a member of the Board of Trustee, upheld professional ethics, sought truth from facts, and vigorously advocated correct historical views. Unfortunately, they were often ignored nowadays.
1970年代的 “Soul and Form" 系列其中作品之一，35年后， 终于2015年首次在东南亚亮相（@新加坡美术馆的开幕展）

2008: “…In my meeting with artists and others in the art scene thus far, I have become directed to artists whose works and contributions have been missed out in the existing mainstream narratives of Malaysian art history. Your name (Lee Kian Seng), in particular, has come out many times as one of the artists in the earlier generations whose work has been missed out and under-recognised. I am following this lead in my research and I hope to be able to meet up with you...”. --- In 2008, a regional scholar on South East Asia Study wrote to Lee Kian Seng）。
" .....His creative versatility has contributed to the enrichment of the Malaysian art scene. .. always responds whenever his services are needed for the cause of art and his fellow artists... In all his works Lee Kian Seng projects creativity, intellectual content and a high standard of professionalism.” - Director of the National art Gallery Malaysia1987, Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal (National Art Laureate)
[ 译文] ：2008年的电邮: “……在我与艺术家及艺术界其他人的会面中，我已经被引导到马来西亚艺术史的现有主流叙述中那些作品和贡献已被遗漏的艺术家。在作品已被错过并且得不到承认的前辈艺术家当中，你的名字（Lee Kian Seng）出现特别多次。我的研究随这引线, 我希望能与你见面…” ，一位顶级大学的东南亚研究学者为了研究大马艺术史的来龙去脉，来电邮寻求访谈，2008年1月终于找到了李健省。

缘起于1970年在世界博览会EXPO70马来西亚馆发表的 “UNITY” （团结）（1969-1970）李健省（Lee Kian Seng）1970年代的一系列3维作品是马来西亚装置艺术的最初催化剂。大部分在马来西亚国家美术馆发表。他的系列作品，表征了一个崛起的前沿思维，穿越了当年所谓“（马来西亚）国家文化”大会的喧嚣。
其作品呈现了（1）开创性贡献（2）对当代社会的思考（3）获得的认可和奖项(11项顶级国家奖和2项国际奖）（4）对未来艺术家的影响等。他的作品在塑造/启发马来西亚艺术的轨迹和扩大该国艺术表达的可能性方面发挥了重要作用。(AI )

"I am afraid the most dreadful form of social control is not the aggressive in-your-face measures, raw force or torture against dissenting voices. It is rather a narrative strategy craftily designed to create a parameter and order of knowledge structure by drowning and distorting the facts of history. This would pave the way for all future speech and narrative to fall within the standard and disciplinary framework established by the authorities."-- O.Young（Chinese/English）
“……最可怕的社会压制恐怕不是赤裸裸的打压与对异议分子的虐待，而是一种將歷史淹没与变形的论述策略，製造一种知识系统的规范与秩序，使以后所有的言论敘说，都必须在其既定的准则和戒律框架中进行。” --- 欧阳文风（摘自南洋商报新视野2008-04-28《马来西亚装置艺术之父――李健省》）（Chinese/English）http://www.leekianseng.com/lee_YZZK.pdf

Of all his installation works, Lee’s 1977 masterpiece Of ‘Image, Object, Illusion’-Off
Series Mechanism is by far the most imaginative and controversial. It too was added to the Permanent
Collection of
the National Art Gallery Malaysia. In conjunction with the 45th anniversary celebration
of
its establishment, the Gallery organized the 45@45 Exhibition in late 2003. For this event, 45
highly
respected
people in cultural circles were invited
to
select 45 major works from the
Permanent Collection of the Gallery and elaborate on their choices. Lee Kian Seng was also among
the 45 invited, so was Dato’ (Ms) P.G. Lim, who played a key role in the early development of the National Art Gallery having served
as the Deputy Chairperson of its Board of Trustees and the first Chairperson of the Exhibitions Committee.
Of ‘Image, Object, Illusion’-Off Series Mechanism was among the 45 selected works and the
only installation
work displayed. It was made up of several items including a painting on canvas
hung on the wall, and an 8 x16 square
feet 6mm playwood (painted white) on the floor extending
from the wall to a white podium, above which a Malaysian flag was juxtaposed at approximately
the same level(88’height) as the two dimensional painting on the wall that reflects the flag in
reverse. Lights were set to cast shadows of the national flag on the painting and on the white
plywood floor. The resulting spatial interaction between image and object creates a delicate
interplay of positive and negative Yin and Yang elements.
Another point worth mentioning is the presence of the ubiquitous cockroach at the top right of
the image
of
the flag on the wall in the painting. Between painting and shadow, the viewer gets a
sense of illusion that provokes the imagination. Through a combination of visual, intuitive and cognitive stimuli, viewers are led to explore new frontiers in their thinking on the basis of their personal aesthetics and experiences.
While the National Art Gallery Malaysia had added this work to their Permanent Collection, they have regrettably failed to fulfill the responsibility of treasuring and safeguarding such a highly
symbolic and creative work of art. In their 1994 publication Vision and Idea—Relooking Modern Malaysian Art, they went so far as to make a number of serious mistakes that included showing an
inaccurate title, as well as tampering with the art pieces such as replacing the white podium with one of black-carpeted wooden steps, and wiping out the image of the cockroach on the painting.
The 16’ x 8’ square white plywood on floor also missing. As the result, the work is made to assume
a changed appearance. It is a wonder how they can make such mistakes in the handling of an artwork in their collection. Consequently, Lee lodged a written complaint time and again, seeking a specific and favorable response, but all to no avail.
The publications of
the National Art Gallery are considered official works with definite historical value and significance. Yet surprisingly, they have repeatedly taken the liberty of revising historical facts. How could a simple “regret” suffice to describe such a blunder? The issue actually goes
beyond the mere infringement of the artist’s personal respect to one of national interest. At stake is
an integral part of the nation’s historiography. In the face of such blatant disregard to the nation’s accurate historical documentation, how can anyone remain silent?
The National Art Gallery Malaysia organized the National “Open Art and Graphic Print Competition
1977” from 20 Dec 1977 to 26 Feb 1978. With this work, Lee won the Major Award for the Art
category. The other Minor Award winners included academician CHONG Kam Kow, Sulaiman Esa, and Ruzaika Omar Basree of UITM
and USM art lecturer Lim Eng Hooi. LEE Kian Seng also bagged the Major Award for the print-making category.
Art critic Cecil Rajendra gave this work a very high opinion. He wrote, “Here is a painting that makes a settlement on a number of levels. It speaks of our past, our present and our future. It is loaded with symbolism that teases and invites the viewer to interpretations. Why is the flag reversed? What does the cockroach on the top right of the painting mean? Does it augur ill for our future? It is also a beautifully composed picture that achieves an almost perfect balance between subject matter and media. It is brilliantly executed and well merits the top award." (An excerpt from the Exhibition Catalogue of the Open Art and Graphic Competition 1977, National Art
Gallery Malaysia.)
第十章：《 形像，物体，假象 》 (Of ‘Image, Object, Illusion’ - Off Series Mechanism, 1977 )
另一值得一提的是画面上国旗的投影里有只蟑螂，在画面与投影之间，予人一种幻觉的感受，激发观众想像，藉著视觉、直觉与知觉的刺激，让观众本着个人的美学与经验，开拓思想空间。
国家艺术馆出版的刊物，可说是官方文献，具有一定的历史价值与意义，可却一而再，再而三的擅自改写史实，岂又是遗憾二字可以形容 ？这已不再只是涉及不尊重艺术家的个人的问题了，而是关乎一个国家、民族的历史问题。我们岂可能继续保持缄默？

<李健省更正：欧阳文风稿于2006年12月>
Lee’s work Unity/团结 (1969/70) was completed during the cataclysmic racial conflicts that culminated in bloodshed on May 13, 1969. In the year that followed,
the piece was published
at the Malaysia Pavilion World Exposition 1970
hosted by Japan
A true work of art is, of necessity, born of the times. It is an intensely passionate stare at life in
the face. Not only does it convey the artist’s philosophical ideals, it embodies the harsh reality of life as well. It may have its foundation
deeply rooted in reality, or it may break away from
conventional fetters
and
point the way forward to sha （ping the future. It may showcase the artist’s
real
self and his subjective aspirations, but more so, it transcends the depth of human nature in an
individual artist. It may be an imitation of nature, yet it may also be a resistance and challenge against imitation. This is because the artist’s work is more than crude imitation, as its creator’s imagination goes far beyond the disguise of nature. The artist’s exaggerated expressions mirror the
emotional struggle in his inner soul. His works therefore possess the power to stimulate the visual senses and provoke the intellect.
Unity is a symbol of the oneness of the three major ethnic groups in Malaysia.
The work
expresses the hope, unity and peaceful co-existence of humankind. There are two enclosed forms to
this piece of installation that are fused into a unifying singularity. The first comprises a gigantic human form made of reinforced concrete, created prior to the May 13 incident. The second, developed after May 13, consists of several entities set beneath the structure, including metal rods, key holders, and three mirrors—the mirrors of Science, of the Arts, and of the Humanities
respectively. They represent the essential elements for the advancement of human civilization, each
reflecting the other’s spirit of the times. The chaos and errors of the world are also mirrored therein.
The statue is lit from within at night to create a stunning visual effect. At the time of the May 13 incident, Lee happened to be abroad. But the tragedy left him absolutely devastated—so much so that he splattered red paint all over the figurative structure. The act in itself was a symbol of dashed hopes and dreams. So it was after the production of Unity that the concept and technique of Lee’s installation art became more and more evolved.
(note:<Unity> comprising two enclosed forms, 400x120x120 cm and 45cm x 45cm x 65 cm.

Lee Kian Seng（李健省）-- Asian independent artist
http://www.leekianseng.com/lee_YZZK.pdf http://lee-kian-seng.blogspot.com/ http://www.leekianseng.com/lee_Bio.html
Lee Kian Seng is one of the leading Malaysian multi-media contemporary artists, whose repertoire includes painting, sculpture, printmaking (lithography), resist-dyeing and installation art.
Born in China in 1948, he moved to
Singapore with his mother and brother to join his father in 1953, and settled
down in Klang, Malaysia, a year later.
He was first invited to the National Art Exhibition by the National Art Gallery of Malaysia in 1964, when he showed the work, "The Beggar and the Bird"（三轮车夫与鸟）.
At the age of 18 (1966), the Arts Council of
Malaysia sponsored his solo exhibition ,to much critical acclaim. Since then, he
has had 21 other solos not only in Malaysia, but also in Thailand and
Japan. Pursuing lifelong learning, he himself designed the Learning Program
for 1966 to 1968. ( to separate detail ).
Believing
that Art does not exist in a vacuum, he pursued a K-based (Knowledge-based) art
orientation, with ground-breaking experiments and insightful creative research,
spending three years (1969–1972) in Tokyo doing interdisciplinary study in
“dyeing art” which incorporated ukiyo-e of the Edo period, among others. At the same period, he also created the 3-D work Unity and three large canvases namely Dawn, Noon and Dusk at the Malaysian Pavilion in the prestigious
World Expo in Osaka in Japan in 1970）
In 1976, he was awarded the Japan Foundation Professional Fellowship, in recognition of his outstanding talent and contributions to art.
His research, "Comparative study – Dyeing Art,” at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and “lithography” at the Tokyo Hanga Kenkyusho (Tokyo Printmaking Atelier), from 1976-1977, has inspired him expand the parameters of the genre.
He has been part of many international exhibitions since the 1960s, including the Sao Paulo X Biennale in 1969,the Waratah Spring Festival, Australia, in 1965; the "Man And His World" exhibition in Montreal, Canada, in 1970; the 1st and 4th Triennale of Contemporary World Art in New Delhi in 1967 and 1978 respectively; the Tokyo Print Biennale in 1979; the Contemporary Asian Art, Fukuoka, Japan, in 1980; the Malaysian Art touring Australia and New Zealand in 1969; the Malaysian Art at ‘Expo 70’ Osaka, Japan; ‘Malaysian Art 1965-1978’ Commonwealth Institute, London in 1978; the ASEAN Exhibition of Painting and Photography in 1982, 1983, 1984; the ‘Contemporary Paintings of Malaysia’ in Pacific Asia Museum, Los Angeles, United States, in 1988; ‘Malaysian Art’ touring Germany (1990-1991); and ‘Experience South-east Asian Art’ at the National Gallery Singapore in 2015.
Lee Kian Seng's series of works in the 1970s represented a rising cutting-edge thinking, passing through the hustle and bustle of the so-called "national culture" conference at that time. 對大馬藝術界現象的補充
Wrote the Director of the National art Gallery Malaysia Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal (National Art Laureate): " His creative versatility has contributed to the enrichment of the Malaysian art scene. . .. always responds whenever his services are needed for the cause of art and his fellow artists....In all his works Lee Kian Seng projects creativity, intellectual content and a high standard of professionalism.”
”Pioneering works such as those of Lee Kian Seng are of historical importance,” , commented Ms P.G. Lim (Tan Sri Dato’, the recipient of the Merdeka Award 2009),a Malaysian art history observer and human rights lawyer ,in the 45@45 special issue published by the National Art Gallery of Malaysia.
As Malaysia's national representative at the ASEAN Square Sculpture Symposium in Jakarta in 1984, he built the monumental sculpture, "Peace, Harmony and One,” which is permanently displayed at Taman Suropati, Jakarta, Indonesia.
In an illustrious creative output spanning more than 50 years, Kian Seng has won several top-notch national awards from the National Art Gallery of Malaysia including the Major Art Award and Major Graphic Award in the ‘Open Art and Graphic Print Competition 1977’; the Major Award in the ‘Young Artists Contemporaries’ (Bakat Muda Sezaman) in 1975: one of the two Major Awards in the ‘Landscape Malaysia’ competition 1972; the Minor Award in the ‘Man and His World’ exhibition in 1973; and three prizes in the first ‘Salon Malaysia’ in 1969.
His other accolades include the 3rd Prize (Category B) in the ‘Joy of Living’ competition in 1964; and the Best Exhibit Prize and 1st Prize (Oil Painting category) in the ‘10th Young Artists’ in 1966, both from the Arts Council of Malaysia.

In 1993, Lee Kian Seng won the highly acclaimed Tokyo Creation Award Overseas Prize, in recognition of his excellent exploration, innovation and creativity in 'Dye and resist technique', and for making known batik/dyes painting worldwide.
In 2000, Lee Kian Seng was invited

members of its international "Open Ideas Competition" (ASEAN
architects and designers).

Notes 杂记
|
“……. In the 1971 National Cultural Congress (Malaysia)
met to reconstruct the terms of a ‘national culture’ for our newly reconstituted
nation. The Malays had asserted their hegemony and laid claim to the economic
fruits of the nation, which the earlier liberal approach of the period immediately
following independence had failed to deliver. The National Economic Policy
(NEP) had been put in place with the aim of reconstructing wealth and opportunity
for advancement in favour of the Malays. The National Congress asserted the
necessity for Malay prominence in the realm of culture. The Dasar Kebudayaan
or ‘Foundations of Culture’ were drawn up stating the necessity for the
predominance of the indigenous cultures of the region, the possibility of incorporating
other cultures where appropriate and the importance of Islam. Though this document
never gained the force of law its tenets have permeated the official narrative
of all Malaysian cultural production, including the visual arts. Today, the
urgent assertion for Malay dominance of the 1970’s has given way to a more relaxed
multiculturalism at home. However, the forces of globalization have usurped
the role of national institutions in representing our cultural identity on
the world stage.” ( Niranjan Rajah
) Curatorial Hierarchies “In spite of best intentions and the participation of national curators,
the narratives of major global art arenas……are underpinned by the preferences
and prejudices of the host nations. At their worst these exhibitions have used
their national co-curators as mediators in the extraction of information and
resources in a colonial fashion. Indeed, the administration of these expansive
and comprehensive exhibitions, curated on the basis of national sections has
produced what can be described as neo-colonial curatorial hierarchies,
with national curators feeding powerful central selection committees to whose
unperatives regional ‘co-curators’ are obliged to comply.” by Niranjan Rajah ( Extracted
from the "Regionalism in An Era of Global Art" from the Symposium
“Constructing Cultural Identities in the Context of Globalisation” held in Malaysia
in March 2000.) *** " Overtly and covertly, events of May 13 (1969 Malaysia) and the Cultural Congress (1971 Malaysia), and no doubt other related movements, began to shape thinking and practice among artists; they were far too shattering and fundamental to be ignored. Throughout the 1970's, artists began the difficult, painful process of rethinking their positions, and recasting their perceptions of culture, language, race, state/nation and identity. For some , the prospects loomed as intolerable and inhospitable and they chose to migrate; some retreated into temporary or permanent silence; for everyone else, the stakes were too important and consequential not to be involved."

-2001-09-30），李健省的作品《Mankind》（人类）(1972) 的构成和艺术意蕴，被客座策展人Redza Piyadasa严重篡改。随该展出版的目录也遗漏了《Mankind》的记录。（注：马来西亚艺术历史观察家人权律师林碧颜（Dato P.G.Lim）有出席当天的开幕礼。）
(above)At
the Rupa Malaysia—The Face of Malaysia: A Survey of Malaysia’s Modern Art (Meninjau
Seni Lukis Malaysia) exhibition in conjunction with the Opening of its new
building, Lee’s work Mankind (1972) had been unethically modified by guest curator
Redza Piyadasa. The List of Exhibits in
the book that was compiled and written by Mohamed Redza Piyadasa and published
by the National Art Gallery Malaysia in 2000 had left out the record for this work.

@@@@@@@@@
- 世间有多少明智之士，断定不能瞒天过海。越过市越不过学术，越过学术越不过历史。
1988年，李健省领头在马来西亚社区推介/策展装置艺术，为皇城巴生带来两项发表会：
1988年1月17日～19日于巴生福建会馆实践《现代文明的证言》以及1988年3月13日 于巴生中华独中实践《诚》，激活了社区对当代装置艺术的认识。

· 1995年6月21日在巴生博雅画廊（博雅艺术中心）
一位吴亚鸿导演的装置艺术展怎会是 ‘巴生的破天荒第一次’ ？ 以下的声明偏离事实。
“该装置艺术发表会负责人吴亚鸿，同时也是8名参展画家之一的他表示，这项别出心载的展览会是首次在巴生举行，可算是巴生艺术界的一项突破。（见南洋商报1995.6.19陈美佩报道）
“巴生虽然已经拥有100年的历史，但在巴生这个皇城主办装置艺术还是破天荒第一次、 其余7名参展者为黄俊杰，周靖化，郭云珍，陈艾英，李选凤，叶振和与陈福财” 。” (见星洲大都会1995.6.18林宝源报道)
巴生皇城号称 " XX艺术家协会“是否可以出示其所谓于1967年向社团注册局注册的原始委员会名单？
< 鲁迅
- 李健省（Lee Kian Seng)的名字于1960年代被人盗用去注册艺术家协会 ?（律师从社团注册局获得以下资料）：
(注：社评作家林明华先生所见到的，与马来西亚雪州皇城巴生艺术界的病态大同小异。
乡愿为了塑造’会长‘形象，不惜移花接木偷梁换柱。“妄言” 和 “绮语” 在巴生（Klang）皇城艺术界流行，历史真相被‘会长’ 囚禁。《骑劫艺术》： https://www.sinchew.com.my/?p=2136559
