BEFORE THE RAIN: Contemporary Landscapes of the Philippines

21 April-  20 May

 

Featuring works by Martha Atienza, Felix Bacolor, Bjorn Calleja, RJ Fernandez, Dominic Mangila, Vincent Padilla, Popo San Pascual, Soler Santos, Erik Sausa, Jake Versoza and The Weather Bureau

"Before the Rain takes as a starting point, a nostalgic view of landscape as a place of natural beauty and urban complexity that is also governed by seasonal changes such as the monsoon and typhoon season here in the Philippines. The anticipation of both regenerating and destructive natural forces creates feelings of tension and excitement that become symbolic references to human emotion and the psyche. By looking at the world around us and Man’s relationship to Nature the exhibition provides a glimpse at the contemporary landscape as both a artistic genre as well as a strategy to observe and comment on the socio-cultural conditions of the Philippines."
