Installation Art in The Philippines

Installation Art in the Philippines
In cooperation with the French Embassy

and its co-presentor Silverlens Gallery, Ballet
Philippines seamlessly merge contemporary art
and dance into a new groundbreaking
production to be staged at the Cultural Centre
of the Philippines (CCP) on February 13 and
14, and on the 16th as a fundraising gala in
conjunction to the annual Art Fair Philippines.
Passion and Procession

Contemporary art of the Philippines reflects
current experience while also drawing on the
country’s rich artistic history, encompassing
ancestral traditions, links to the arts of India
and China, and modern ties to Spain and
Mexico. In considering complex relationships
between individuals and the community,
'Passion and procession' features installations,
videos, sculptures and paintings revealing
personal experiences of life and faith, and their
public declaration in processions.
Established in 1960, the ATENEO ART

GALLERY (Level 2, Rizal Library Special
Collections Building, Ateneo de Manila
University, Katipunan Avenue, Loyola Heights,
Quezon City, Manila 1108) grew out of
acclaimed artist Fernando Zobel’s bequest of
his collection of post-war works by key Filipino
artists. Today, the gallery hosts innovative
exhibitions and public programs, including the
Ateneo Art Awards that highlights emerging
artists in the Philippines.
Tucked away from the touristy area of Makati,
the MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART AND
DESIGN (MCAD) (Dominga St. Malate, Manila) is a
hidden gem located within the campus of De La Salle-
College of Saint Benilde. It’s a huge warehouse space
that hosts exhibitions of internationally-renowned
artists, such as Thai video artist Apichatpong
Weerasethakul and Soil and Stones, Souls and Songs a
group exhibition in partnership with Hong Kong’s Para
Site.
The Life & Culture of Filipino
Filipinos were not given a chance to cultivate

their own arts with painting. Even so, the arts of
painting still instituted in the Philippines using the
style of the west and lots of people were able to
cultivate it. Juan Luna, F. Ressurecion Hidalgo,
Lorenzo Guererro, Zaragosa, Fabian dela Rosa,
Fernando Amorsolo, Jose Asuncion, Jorge
Pineda, are among the first Filipino in the list of
those who patronized and continue to improve
this kind of arts in its western look.
Installation Art
Installation artworks (also sometimes described as
‘environments’) often occupy an entire room or gallery
space that the spectator has to walk through in order to
engage fully with the work of art. Some installations,
however, are designed simply to be walked around and
contemplated, or are so fragile that they can only be
viewed from a doorway, or one end of a room.
Avellana Art Gallery on the 6th floor went with an

all-white theme, with pieces by Mac Valdezco,
Eugene Jarque, Alain Hablo, Joey Cobcobo and
others.
Book installation art, for instance, aims to

catch attention. Artist Miler Lagos glues books
together to create installations like domes and
towers. Los Angeles-based artist Mike Stilkey
stacks book together and paints over their
spines to create surreal masterpieces. His work
‘’Discarded Romance,’’ in fact, is the stunning
centerpiece at the Fully Booked branch in
Bonifacio Global City.
The SiningSaysay: Philippine History in Art exhibit opened last Saturday, February 28,
2015 at the Gateway Gallery in Cubao, Quezon City. As an
exhibit dedicated solely to works of art depicting a nation's
history, it is the first of its kind in the country.
The exhibit is a joint project of the University of the
Philippines (UP), the UP Alumni Association (UPAA) and
the Araneta Center. It is open free to the public every day from
11AM to 7PM at the Gateway Gallery located at the 5th floor of
the Gateway mall.
Parial paints an idyllic paradise

Naïf Artists tend to explore human feeling and expression
through simplicity of subject and technique.Closely related to
(and in many ways a subset of) the broad expanse that is
expressionism, the term “naïf art” was popularized as a way of
describing the works of Henri Rousseau and was initially a
pejorative for an untaught painter.
