"To all who come to this happy place - welcome." - Walt Disney
:phunk are Alvin Tan, Jackson Tan, Melvin Chee and William Chan, four Singaporean artists/designers at the forefront of Singaporean’s graphic design world.
NEW WORLD is :phunk’s second solo exhibition in Singapore following the success of 2007’s Universe. As mavens in the Asian graphic design world for the past decade, :phunk studio is questioning the divide between graphic design and fine art. :phunk exhibits widely, and have participated in museum shows and biennales around the world.
Inspired by collective memories of visits to Haw Par Villia, the New World Amusement Park, and their continued fascination with Disneyland, this exhibition is :phunk’s very own imaginary theme park where escape and education walk hand in hand, and where one is bound only by the limits of one’s imagination.
