Khairul Azmir Shoib, or better known as Meme, constantly strives to create series of visual poetry that record silent conversations between the self and the others. His oeuvre threading along with the macabre often deny or betray any categorization, simply outlandish in its own myth. Apart from lecturing in universities in Malaysia, Meme had participated in various group exhibitions in institutions and galleries in Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. He was the recipient of Juror’s Award from Young Contemporary, National Art Gallery KL in 2000; and 1st Prize in Life Drawing Competition from National Art Gallery KL in 2005. Meme currently lives and works in Kuala Lumpur.
