Kuih-muih @ Open House Occupy

Kuih-muih has flewn all the way back from Paris, its first show at Cutlog Paris, to Tiong Baru to take part in the only Singapore art walk-about, Open House Occupy. I'm very glad to be given this opportunity by Alan Oei, the curator of Open House (OH!), because Kui-muih is created as a lucky charm that's supposed to be hung in a house for happy blessings. I'm so lucky to have it hung in Liz's cozy bedroom. I hope all my local audience will enjoy this lucky charm that's filled with many traditional snacks which have been giving us happy and sweet memories since childhood.

Other 14 artists who take part in this event are Ang Song Nian, Cindy Salim, Dilys Ng, Gilles Massot, Green Zeng, Isabelle Desjeux, Jying Tan, Lavender Chang, Marc Gabriel Loh, Mark Wong, Patrick Storey, Race Krehel, Stephen Black and Zhao Renhui.

OH! will be open from 4pm till 9pm on 18, 19, 25 and 26 February. The tour starts at Tiong Bahru Community Ctr, 67A Eu Chin Street. $15 tickets are sold at the door, and the last tour leaves at 8pm. Please visit the OH! website for more details.

Piratable Narcissism.

A collaboration between Nakedlovemystery by Mo and Sadako's unfashionable fashion diary. Check out the ultimate of Narcissism here.

Sadako's unfashionable fashion diary – not really about fashion.

Secretly a Sadako's fan, I have stopped watching any horror movie since The Ring. Only recently I realised that Sadako has still actually left a profound impact within me since then. This contribution is my expressions of fear (and love?) towards this classic horror movie figure with my own unfashionable fashion. Through this exercise, I hope to conquer my inner fear by getting familiar with Sadako's spirit. WARNING: you may not find any substantial value in Sadako's diary, read on at your own risk.

Kuih-muih for Neofolk @ Cutlog 2011, Paris.

Together with Kuanth (Malaysia/Singapore), Redslim08 (Philippines), Darbotz (Indonesia), Samuel Indratma (Indonesia), Arya Palguna (Indonesia) Jam Wu (Taiwan) and Syan aka MC Yan (Hong Kong),
it was great pleasure to be able to do my second art installation for NeoFolk exhibition at Cutlog contemporary art fair in Paris this year. It was curated by Damien Brachet from Gorgeous Productions. Neo Folk explores the work of artists in Asia who rediscovers their roots and traditional crafts, more weird and wonderful creations by different artists are featured in Kult magazine.


“I would like to shower my audience with blessings of love and happiness by drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese lucky charms that have adorned homes for centuries. I’ve always been fascinated by their intricacy in detail yet simplicity in representation
of forms – plus, who wouldn't want an extra boost of good luck in their lives? To add a fun, original twist, my version of this folk-art handicraft features nostalgic snacks, loved by Singaporeans of all generations. Working with felt, I created this homage to Singaporean culture by showcasing traditional tidbits, locally known as “Kuih”. These bite-sized morsels make no apologies when it comes to their bold use
of colour and flavour. Sweet, salty, savoury and spicy – they are an aromatic blend of Chinese, Malay, and Indian; a seemingly strange brew of heady tastes and flavours that come together in perfect balance and harmony. Literally a feast for the eyes, this larger-than-life charm brings a taste of Asia to the world. A satisfying serving of warmth and happiness, like the comfort of home cooking.”

This installation is 70cm X 70cm X 100cm, made with felt, polyster, acrylic and bamboo. You can find 41 kuihs in total and below are some individual snapshots of the kuihs:

The making of this installation was therapeutic in the beginning but it turned into crazy hell later on which... I think I died twice in it. I must thank all my angels who had lent me your hands in the making:

• YK Lim
• Kuan
• Sin
• Twisstii
• Priscilla Wong
• Yohei Yamaguchi
