It is in this exhibition where Hu Yun extends his historiographic interest on everyday cosmologies that are incarnated by the processes of woodcarving. This exhibition continues his Singapore Biennale work that reflects on the original 1980s dioramas of Singapore history, inquiring on how the storytelling found in craft tradition becomes present in contemporary practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sculptures present in this <em>another diorama<\/em> are works by the prolific Shui Tit Sing (1914 \u2013 1997) who was an active member of several art societies in Singapore. Shui Tit Sing was trained in Western Painting in China before he moved to Singapore in 1940. He became primarily influenced by traditional and vernacular cultures in his travels to Cambodia and Thailand in the 1960s with the Ten Men Art Group. He painted until 1968 when he dedicated the rest of his artistic life to wood carving. Shui Tit Sing\u2019s sculptures and photographs are from the collection of Shui Ching Jaw. Hu Yun\u2019s research and access to Shui Tit Sing\u2019s works are made possible by Mr Koh Nguang How.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Profile<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cfa.nus.edu.sg\/naf2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/137"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cfa.nus.edu.sg\/naf2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cfa.nus.edu.sg\/naf2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cfa.nus.edu.sg\/naf2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
