SPADICE

"The stars will never be won by little minds; we must be big as space itself." ~Robert A. Heinlein SPADICE (Surface Pattern Art & Design Interdisciplinary Collaborative Effort) Established in 2021, SPADICE is a new project concept initiated by its founder Tan Haur (Singapore) during the COVID-19 pandemic, whereby many art educators are facing quite a fair bit of challenges in the physical classroom teaching & learning, as well as brick-and-mortar space to showcase and share the artistic effort of the creators. The key idea of SPADICE is to enable the participants to have a feel of how their two-dimensional drawing (digital/ conventional media) can be transformed and realized in the form of a 3-D product after attending Tan Haur's NAC AEP courses and visual art workshops. As for phase one of the SPADICE project (November 2021 - 31st March 2022), the team is working with the Rainbow Centre (Margaret Drive School), River Valley High School, and Anderson Serangoon Junior College as a start. This project is to let the students experience a full journey from their learning to art creation and virtual presentation. SPADICE also works with several guests, including SEPs, musicians, artists with special needs, designers, crafters, and independent art creators who specialize in areas with their right and churn out something new with the surface pattern design methodology and craft technology via collaborative effort. Over this growing platform, we encourage communication, suggestions, and future collaboration. Together, we’ll be able to improve, grow, and benefit everybody in a long run. Hence, SPADICE encompasses a complete journey started from curriculum design, teaching, learning, drawing, painting, pattern-designing, printing, and crafting till finished 3-D products for sharing. We welcome your constructive input as well as all forms of support. Thank you very much!

2015 Community Art Award - Digital & Mixed Media Giant Façade Art @ Heartland, Singapore.

Yishun-team and I are honoured and thankful to have received the Community Art Award presented by Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien (Minister for Culture, Community and Youth & Leader of the House, Singapore) on our giant façade art “Yishun Symphony of Life”! This award reaffirms my aim and focuses to make art more accessible to the people by bringing it right to the heartland of Singapore and the region, emphasizing direct interaction and dialogue with the community, and breaking the notion of art exhibition and appreciation has to be confined within the four walls of a gallery or museum. Besides believing skylight is our best spotlight and ambient light, today we celebrate our success in utilizing visual art as a form of universal lingo to bring different races, nationalities and people from all walks of life together regardless of language, ethnic group and religion. Together we bring arts and culture to reach “Everyone, Everywhere, every day.”

It is interesting that the custodian who laid the foundation of this painting are the nurses, doctors, patients and visitors form the Singapore General Hospital, I imagine the red fingerprints as red blood cells from different blood groups and races. They depict our multi-racial society in great harmonisation. The heart shapes signify our four major races, and as a whole, most importantly, we are one people, one nation, one Singapore, that’s the way we will be forever more.

Today’s world has transformed into a terrain termed by Arjun Appadurai (1996) as the global ethnoscape. When someone’s attachment to a certain nation-state and homeland seems to fade away, human being then bears a brand new status as trans-migrant, non-temporary traveler creatures either in physical, intellectual, or imaginary conception. Tan Haur and Kit Mui are such kind of couple who barely ceases to travel from many departure points (with almost no return points). During their many travels, incessantly they bear in mind various ethnoscapes they ever witness through the aid of certain media, mostly photography, sketches, and other no less practical visual media. From this point onward, the seemingly incessant travels then turn into a working series of space construction, either for aesthetical production or appropriation purpose. In brief, citing John Urry’s terminology (1995), both of them has and been continuously involved in the activity of visual consumption.

From this standpoint, we can propose a sort of presupposition correlated to how the visual consumption they did can be similar or different, either between Tan and Mui themselves or between them and some colleagues from Bol Brutu (Gerombolan Pemburu Batu; band of stoneseekers) who are invited as the guest artists, as exposed in this exhibition entitled Travelogue. What are the visual consumption elements, through action that we call gaze, which unify or set them apart? Generally, we can hypothesize that on one side both Tan and Mui accentuate romantic gaze, but on the other side they tend to be anthropological. Their gaze exposes several characteristics such as solitary, becomes absorbed and drifted away by the moment, and involves vision, aura, and amazement over the exotics and extraordinary. This anthropological tendency will probably also be apparent in the process which involves scrutiny and active interpretation inside of themselves.

Knowing Tan and Mui since early 2012, I have witnessed how they arrange travelogue –a narrative genre interlacing the enchantment of traveling amidst the drama of victory and failure – through the visual perception towards and experience of encountering the Other in other places (Ijo Temple and Mangir Village in Yogyakarta; Merak Temple and Sendang Tirta Mulyani in Klaten; Klenteng Singosaren and Pasar Gede in Solo). By means of visual travelogue in the form of photos and sketches, they recount the perception and experience in a way I can call passionate. Especially in the sketches, this passion is manifested in the lines they scratch on pieces of papers. Tan, with his obvious philosophical vision, met and conversed with the biggest Buddhist monument worldwide; while Mui, with her intuitive and bold-minded lines, meditated over the tiny plain objects she encountered. Both seem to enjoy their traveling experience, the experience of ethnoscape disjunction liberated from the tendency towards factual accuracy in narrating.
