Transpersonal, instructions

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

“Transpersonal, instructions” opens at the UP Vargas Museum on 14 December 2018, Friday at 6pm. Transpersonal activities invite participants to experiment with the boundaries between accepted notions of authorship and audience expectation—to play with the performativity of their roles and rethink the various modes of attention they are setting up. The “instructions” weave together a transpersonal, primary initiative of cultural and transnational exchange, that repeatedly encounter a restless ecology of contemporary art. Transpersonal, instructions looks with particular, collaborative attention, at non-Western difference and under–represented geographies in art like the communities working in the Philippines today.

Vargas Conversations on Visualizing Sound Exhibition with Gerardo Tan, Dr. Felicidad A. Prudente, Sammy Buhle and Dr. Norma A. Respicio 14 March 2019, Thursday, 2:30 pm 1F Galleries UP Vargas Museum presents a conversation between Gerardo Tan, Felicidad Prudente, and Norma Respicio on the exhibition Visualizing Sound on March 14, 2019 at 2:30 pm at the 1F Galleries. Visualizing Sound is a collaborative exhibition which presents works between artist Gerardo Tan, musicologist Felicidad A. Prudente, and master weaver Sammy Buhle. The exhibition reflects on the translation of forms through the work Rendering, a video and audio documentation notated in modern sound symbols, which are then translated into visual images, and in turn interpreted in textile by the ikat method. Complementing this is another work by Tan titled Speaking in Tongue (inspired by an indigenous chant from Kalinga called sogna) that tries to articulate the production of vocal sounds resonating from a singer’s mouth. Thus, the exhibition Visualizing Sound becomes an intersection of modes rooted in tradition and enriched in multidisciplinary contexts. Join us as we create a broader understanding of how traditions and the contemporary setting harmonize through various forms of art. With exhibiting artist Gerardo Tan and Felicidad Prudente, together with insights from Norma A. Respicio who specializes in traditional art forms focusing on textiles, participate in learning transcribing from woven fabrics, articulating performance by presenting visuals, and portraying traditions through sound. Vargas Conversations: Visualizing Sound is free and open to the public.
