For art thou alone exists, exist to resist.
The show is a reunion of sorts and a reckoning of what needs to be revitalized again in the dormant complacency of pleasant views and regurgitated muses.
Diplomacy is tricky. Diplomacy erodes at a principle of a stand. Diplomacy is dancing on firecrackers and smiling with the devil, sleeping with the enemy while pulling fast the mattress underneath. Inchoate contracts signed in rum and tears, arguing for benefits, for the best arrangement for one’s fubu. Yet, the landscape remains a promising conquest, a world in your eye, a glimpse of paradise. The seas surrounding it bode of transactions and deals mawing with each heaving. Dance upon the waves, tread through the waters, the sands beckon, the diplomats are coming.
Co-curated by Manuel Ocampo and Lena Cobangbang, the show opens on the 21st of July Saturday 6pm at Artinformal, 277 Connecticut Street, Greenhills East, Mandaluyong City. This will be on view until 18th of August 2018.
