Our annual art issue returns, and this time we tell you all about the city’s hidden and lesser known art galleries that collect some of the best of local and regional art. From the most unlikely of places such as corporate buildings to amazing private art collections by the passionate collector, these places are perfect if you’d like to view and appreciate art somewhere different for a unique, fulfilling experience.
 
What are some of our local artists currently busy with right now? In line with our art issue, nine artists gave us exclusive access into their studios for a sneak peek of what they’re working on for the rest of the year, so read up on what to expect from these artists and when you can see their finished works.

For the Time Out interview, we speak to ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ heart-throb Andrew Garfield on playing the new Peter Parker and how he’s handling fame. For more visual treats, flip through to our Food section for a feature on the best burgers in KL; ranging from the meaty, the massive and the plain interesting, we reckon you’ll want a piece of everything.

Take a look at the best new watches you need this season in Shopping & Style, and in Around Town, we talk to the tenants of the rumoured-to-be-demolished BB Plaza to find out what’s going on.
