SOS! Wah Lian Wooden Machinery Factory that has opened its doors in Salak South New Village since 1970 was abruptly destroyed by the violent thunderstorm that hit Kuala Lumpur a few days ago. Since the incident, Uncle Hui, the devastated owner of Wah Lian, has decided that this is the time for his retirement. However, there are still some unfinished furniture and parts in the factory, which will go to waste if he fails to find a new owner for them. So here is how you can help! You can drop by KongsiKL and adopt some beautifully crafted furniture parts made by Uncle Hui and his craftsmen, which is priced at only RM5 – RM100! Let’s help to raise fund for Uncle Hui and the other wood masters!

Assemblage
Our journey began by looking at a found object. We took it apart, dissected it and studied these fragments that made the object whole.
Our journey continued by exploring our cities. Our imaginations and experiences reconstruct these fragments in the new-found tool as a homogenous part of our body.
Our journey concluded by constructing this new-found tool where it will be placed against our body acting as a transitory object with the external environment.
Come and join us! We are proud to showcase these beautifully crafted tools that is engaging and visually exhilarating.
