An exhibition still on the early-October calendar

CROSS OVER Vol.64 is listed for 1–7 October 2026, 11am–6pm, at HAUS KCH in Kuching. The collective’s official announcement says admission is free and the exhibition includes work by 15 Japanese artists, with painting and sculpture among the forms represented.

The announced address is the first floor of HAUS KCH, Lot 263, Yun Phin Building, Jalan Padungan. At our 5 October research check, there are dates remaining in that published run. Check directly for a same-day change before setting out; this guide is based on the announcement, not a claim that we have visited the exhibition.

HAUS KCH describes itself as a space for artistic exploration through its venue and programming. Its official website lists the Padungan address and encourages visitors to follow its social channels for current updates. The venue’s general hours are not a substitute for checking a particular exhibition’s arrangements.

Our suggestion is to give the visit a clear pocket of time rather than squeeze it into the minutes before closing. A small exhibition can reward slow looking: the scale of a piece, the relationship between two works, or a material that becomes more interesting when seen from another angle.

Try a simple looking exercise

Choose one work that catches your attention and pause before reading anything beside it. Notice a colour, a line or an unusual surface. Then read the available label and see whether your understanding changes. If you are visiting with someone else, compare what each of you noticed first.

This is a suggested way of looking, not an interpretation of any particular work in this exhibition. We have not reproduced the participating artists’ pieces in the images accompanying this blog. Those images contain invented artworks and imagined interiors so they cannot serve as a preview of the actual display.

Plan the practical details, then leave room to wander

Because the announced venue is on the first floor, contact HAUS KCH in advance if step-free access or other facilities matter to your visit. Ask about photography and keep any bags clear of artworks and walkways. Free admission does not remove the need to respect the room and other visitors.

Afterwards, consider a separate Padungan stop for a drink or a meal rather than immediately rushing onward. Our culture and lifestyle guide offers broader context, while the WAK Festival calendar is another place to look for October cultural outings. Confirm each listing independently before combining them.

Take away the artist’s name or a question you want to explore, rather than feeling obliged to photograph everything. For anyone looking for a compact cultural outing this week, a properly checked gallery visit offers a different pace from a packed sightseeing schedule.
