MULYANA: MODULAR UTOPIA
On view January 31 through April 8, 2023

USC Fisher Museum of Art is proud to announce 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.

Through the beauty and wonder of his artworks, Mulyana hopes to instill a new consciousness of shared responsibility to protect the environment. Mulyana’s diverse art practice centers on the themes of sustainability and human flourishing. His studio is based in the town of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which has been the cultural capital for the visual arts in Indonesia for many decades. Mulyana settled there in 2014 and, from the very beginning, endeavored to create a community-based workshop that would operate as an extension of his practice.
