2024 MULCIP Art 6th Exhibition Synopsis
9 August to 15 August 2018
Sculpture Society (Singapore) is pleased to present Urban Expedition, a group exhibition featuring works by both established and emerging sculptors.
Migration encourages one to think of connections, at least because every migration connects a point of origin and a destination (Patrick Manning, 2012). The constant, roving humans, settling only for a term before moving on to a fresh patch of land until we founded our first cities. Even so, we have an ever burning curiosity of “what is beyond that horizon?”
We yearn to travel, to see new sights, find new things, meet new people and experience a different culture from ours. It is evident that we did not change much since the days of old, never stopping always moving, roving back and forth within the planet.
Exploration would resonate to us as a primal instinct or behaviour that we cannot elude from. Perhaps the reason for these outward bound intent to reach out to other peoples from other nations in rooted deep within ourselves. Urban Expedition is the statement of artists’ embodied with an inner wanderlust, to seek out things beyond the mundane, at the very core of us to better ourselves, and to bring home to share the exploits of such travels.

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
