ACU and Jahan Loh Present Immersive Art Exhibition 'The Fookie Hall'

Singaporean contemporary artist Jahan Loh has opened The Fookie Hall, a new immersive art exhibition at Chengdu’s MEW Art & Culture Space. The exhibition is presented by Shanghai-based retailer, ACU, and will remain on time for a limited only.

Touted by the artist as a “veritable feast for one and all,” The Fookie Hall combines contemporary art with traditional Chinese elements. The title of the exhibition is also a play on "福气” (pronounced fúqi), the Chinese character for blessings. Expanding the theme using the five auspicious Chinese characters: "福”, “禄”, “寿”, “禧”, ”财" (fortune, prosperity, longevity, happiness, wealth), Loh curated five different sections to the exhibition, each offering a distinct experience.

Symbolizing fortune, the “福” Pavillion provides a place to pause, gather and receive their blessings. Over in the Prosperity Room, visitors can immerse themselves in traditional crafts such as woodblock printing. Taking on interiors that feel like a modern temple, the Tea Shop area proffers a range of herbal concoctions on the theme of longevity and happiness.

As for ”财" (wealth) Jahan Loh’s “Golden Chamber” also makes a return in this exhibition. The room features a large LED display with a backdrop of perpetually rolling golden ingots, while the room is also decked and filled with inflatable ingots. The artist first presented this installation as part of ACU’s Live Long & Prosper exhibition last November.

A bevy of merch and limited-edition offerings from ACU and Jahan Loh can also be found at The Fookie Shop. Take a look around Jahan Loh’s The Fookie Hall in the gallery above, the exhibition is currently on view until October 20, 2024.
