Each artist will present individual interpretations indiscriminately selected from a list of nine positive and negative values. Each artist selected their values randomly through a process of drawing lots, and challenges the artists and mimics the accidental manner in which they encounter each value on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>The first list of values takes a cue from the \u2018Seven Deadly Sins\u2019, taxonomy of negative values. To the values \u2013 lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride \u2013 we add hatred and intolerance. Each denotes the element of excess and damage, the absence of good, and, an erosion of humanistic qualities.<\/p>\n<p>In opposition, the positive values selected are justice, courage, wisdom, moderation (the four cardinal virtues), faith, hope, love, charity, and truth. Socially, these values are upheld and represent the fundamental manner in which we taught to treat others.<\/p>\n<p>Collectively, the list represents age-old teachings \u2013 still relevant today \u2013 of good versus evil. They are binary opposites and there is no questioning which prevails over the other \u2013 or is there?<\/p>\n<p>The nine artists who will be presented in this year\u2019s 18@8 Vice &amp; Virtue are; Ivan Lam, Zulkifli Yusoff, Anurendra Jegadeva, Choy Chun Wei, Yau Bee Ling, Umibaizurah Mahir, Ahmad Shukri Mohamed, Izan Tahir, Chin Kong Yee.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>18@8 Vice &amp; Virtue features at Wei-Ling Gallery from 13th October &#8211; 13th November 2008.
