The Collection of Jane Ryan and William Saunders | Pio Abad

28 August to 30 September 2014 | Exhibition opening: Thursday, 28 August at 6 P.M., GF Lobby and West Wing Galleries

Pio Abad choreographs these things and the tales animating them to initiate a critical conversation on the discourses of singularity, surplus, and semblance. He looks at them as traces of something sordid, a body of evidence that exhibits morbid symptoms of a possible psychopathology of power.

Bridges: Mariano Ponce & Jorge Vargas In cooperation with Pambayang Museo ng Baliwag 3F Sensorium, UP Vargas Museum Exhibition Run: 20 June to 27 July 2018 Public Reception: 26 June, Tuesday at 4pm "Bridges: Mariano Ponce & Jorge Vargas" looks into the lives of #MarianoPonce and #JorgeVargas, who both served as representatives of the #Philippinegovernment to Japan in times of uncertainty and turmoil. Ponce was sent as an emissary to Japan in 1898 to explore the #Japanese government’s position in the #UnitedStatesofAmerica’s colonization of the Philippines and impending political power over Asia in the late 19th century, while Vargas, whose position as the Executive Secretary of the #Commonwealth Period made it imperative for him to stay in the country, was sent to Japan as an ambassador in 1943 when the first Philippine Embassy in Japan was established. The exhibition explores the political roles of these two #diplomats during tumultuous times as the Philippines built its sense of nationhood, and sought its independence in light of different forces amidst newly-established governments. "Bridges: Mariano Ponce & Jorge Vargas" will engage the younger audience through its interactive and tactile activities in order to draw the youth to the relevance of history and the creation of a collective identity. This exhibition is part of the year-long programs of the Municipality of #Baliwag and Museo ng Baliwag for the 100th Death Anniversary of Mariano Ponce. Museo ng Baliwag was established in 2017 by the Municipality of Baliwag through the efforts of Mayor Ferdinand V. Estrella to promote and preserve the history, arts, and culture of Baliwag. It serves as the Arts, Culture and Heritage Office of the Municipality that creates and implements programs relating to the promotion, conservation, and cultivation of Baliwag’s historic, artistic, and cultural traditions. For more information, please contact Vargas Museum at (+632) 981-8500 loc. 4024 (UP trunkline), (+632) 928-1925 (fax) or send an email to vargasmuseum@gmail.com.
First LAWAS Public Art collateral event at the UP Vargas Museum Grounds and CAL Lawn on Wednesday, 13 June: Encounters: Performance by Ea Torrado Open to the public | Info: lawaspublicart@gmail.com, 981-8500 loc. 2659/2660 Developed around Agnes Arellano’s suite of goddess sculptures Dakini, Innana, Kali and Magdalene, "Encounters" explores dualities of human existence and is rooted in Ea Torrado’s exploration of dance as emancipatory ritual. In it, dancers descend into the depths of being with the body as channel for the divine. The encounter is coming together of corporal flesh and greater divinity. Agnes Arellano’s goddesses remind us to be rooted - perhaps, that which we frantically seek is in all of us. Choreographer Ea Torrado is the recipient of Alvin Erasga Tolentino Koryograpiya Award in 2014, Remedios De Oteyza Choreography Award in 2016 and Asian Cultural Council Grant in 2017. Her creations manifest in choreographies, film, installation, site-specific work, and improvisational performance. She is the Artistic Director of Daloy Dance Company. Daloy Dance Company interweaves dance, theatre and improvisation to create daring and evocative contemporary dance. Since its establishment in 2014, Daloy has made waves in the Manila art scene with critically acclaimed and exceptionally varied body of work. With its strong collaborative thrust, the company has worked with notable visual artists in various museums and galleries in the Philippines, and has enjoyed diverse audiences and performed in a range of dance and art festivals locally and abroad in Japan, Thailand, Korea and USA. LAWAS Public Art runs until August 2018.
