Majulah Singapura: Journey to the Land of Milk and Honey — Artist Wong Lip Chin on questioning our idea of a utopic Sing

Cassie Ang Yu, The U Press, Luglio 21, 2020

As individuals and as a society, we often wonder about our past, question our identities and wrestle with the future. Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going? Our past gives our identities context, which shape the way we see our future, either brimming with excitement or gripped by fear. These philosophical questions demand our attention, and perhaps desire answers, in order for us to successfully move forward.

 

“Going Where?” is a multi-medium exhibition aiming to facilitate a dialogue between the artworks and their viewers, with this pivotal question as the central focus. Viewers are invited to carefully consider the future on a personal and nationwide level. We speak to exhibiting artists, Wong Lip Chin and Robert Zhao Renhui, to hear about their work for the exhibition and their thoughts on where Singapore is going.
