TRANSMISSION: Kaleidoscope

Phunk & Young Talents Collide


An experimental laboratory and incubatory platform organized by PHUNK for young creatives. This latest edition of TRANSMISSION comprises of 10 apprentices from varying creative disciplines and backgrounds, who have been under the mentorship of PHUNK over the period of one year.  

Specifically structured to facilitate collaborative projects between its apprentices and creatives from outside the program, TRANSMISSION: Kaleidoscope derives inspiration from the patterns that a kaleidoscope produces, and aims to explore the notion of change in a world of constant flux; the contrast between rest and movement, structure and chaos.

Shooting Home 2012 Photography Exhibition

Showcase of works by 9 participants of the mentorship


Into its tenth year, Shooting Home is a mentorship programme for emerging photographers. Ten artists are selected each year and mentored by established photographers to guide their creative evolution. Using 'shooting home' as the central theme, the handpicked participants were encouraged to draw and explore ideas from their existing environment. Within the structured four and a half intensive workshop days, participants got to translate that one idea into personal creations, which culminated in this exhibition at the end of the programme.

Featuring the works of Siong Chung Hua, Pandora Wong, Loh Xiu Hui, Loh Meng Wai, Lawrence Chiam, Faizal Samsi, Nurul A Rashid, Mark Cheong and Andy Nethercleft, with the 2012 faculty Bryan van der Beek, Darren Soh, Ernest Goh, Genevieve Chua and Shirlene Noordin.

'Making Comics' Exhibition

View the works of participants from the Noise-Bearfruit workshop series


Making comics is not just about drawing comics. It's actually more about telling stories. Epic stories, simple stories, funny stories, strange stories, but stories nevertheless. In April 2012, Noise Singapore and the National Library Board jointly organised a workshop series on ‘Making Comics’ led by writer and artist Troy Chin. The Young Artist Award 2011 winner conducted four workshops with 17 comic enthusiasts and taught them the foundations of building stories using sequential art. This showcase is a culmination of the workshop series and features original works created by the participants.

 

The exhibition will be at three libraries, according to the schedule below:

  • Central Public Library (National Library, basement 1): 12 - 30 May 2012
  • Bukit Merah Public Library: 1 Jun - 1 Jul 2012
  • Woodlands Regional Library: 3 - 30 Jul 2012


Opening hours: 10am to 9pm daily
