Mulyana: Modular Utopia
On view February 25, 2023 through April 8, 2023
USC Fisher Museum of Art is proud to display Mulyana: Modular Utopia, the Indonesian artist’s first solo museum exhibition in Los Angeles. The exhibition is an introduction to Mulyana’s large kinetic environments composed of intricately constructed, knit modules of marine life sculptures that vividly portray an unadulterated underwater world.
Mulyana’s diverse art practice centers on the themes of sustainability and human flourishing. Mulyana has chosen knitting and crocheting mediums, allowing him to create various forms of varying scales. For the artist, these hand-knit and hand-built installations are a testament to human endurance and imagination.
