OPENING: BELLAS ARTES OUTPOST | CARLOS AMORALES

Please come to the opening of Bellas Artes Projects' non-profit Manila exhibition space, Bellas Artes Outpost, with a solo exhibition by Mexico City based artist Carlos Amorales (b.1970).

The title Prelude alludes to a future act ahead and speaks to the role of sound that echoes across the artist’s diverse practice.

For more information, please contact us at info@bellasartesprojects.org.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Amorales’ family settled in Acapulco via the Spanish galleon route, and their long journey across the Ocean connected them to the Philippines in the Batan Islands. Personal history aside, there are deep connections between the Philippines and Mexico (and further on in Latin America), with nearly 60,000 crew members sailing back and forth across the Pacific Ocean, some permanently settling in Mexico over the course of two-and-a-half centuries from 1565 to 1815. Similarities in folk music in Latin America and the Philippines are one of the ways that this connection of cultures can be acutely experienced. Music and sound surpass language in their ability to connect people; experimenting with instruments gives people a common place to jam.

Kamuning Bakery Café opens at SM North Edsa, 1st branch in 78 years

Quezon City’s pioneer and pugon-style Kamuning Bakery Café is opening a new branch this February at SM City North Edsa’s East Bridgeway, 2nd floor, this is its first ever branch in its colorful 78 years history.

Founded in 1939 upon the invitation of Quezon City co-founder the media tycoon Don Alejandro Roces, Kamuning Bakery Café’s founder was Atty. Leticia “Letty” Bonifacio Javier, it was bought and revived in 2014 by writer and realty entrepreneur Wilson Lee Flores.

MANUEL OCAMPO At Archivo 1984 Gallery

The heat is on for art events this February, National Arts Month, but more specifically for contemporary art. It’s been a while now that trendy Filipino artists have been getting hair-raising attention due in part to auction results. Credit however must be given to neophyte galleries--being in business for just a little over a decade and having made their presence felt in the local if not the international art market. Swanky art buyers have definitely outgrown in number the artists who kept alternative spaces alive at the turn of the century. Add to that an assortment of home-grown art fairs and what have you in the capital is a robust art scene indeed.

If contemporary art were to be defined as the territory of the young, emergent and experimental, then it would be inappropriate to classify as such the works of Manuel Ocampo whose large canvasses of laboriously loaded symbolism abound in an exhibition at Archivo 1984 Gallery in Makati. This painter is certainly no new kid on the block and has been around for a long time, nurtured early by the ruckus of California in the late 1980s. Many in the international art scene know him by his ascent to notoriety through participation in seminal exhibitions around 1992 namely Helter Skelter: L.A. Art in the 1990s, capped by the infamous exclusion of four of his canvasses at Dokumenta IX in Germany.

Japanese Video Art at Yuchengco Museum

 Japanese media artist Naoko Tosa, whose work includes the multimedia façade of the ArtScience Museum in Singapore, brings her Genesis video art projections to Manila until March 31

Yuchengco Museum is pleased to present Digital Dimensions, featuring the video art projections of internationally renowned Japanese media artist Naoko Tosa. She has recently been appointed as Japan Cultural Envoy 2016 by the Japanese government. Transforming the museum’s galleries into a scenic environment, Digital Dimensions: Video Art Projections by Naoko Tosa envelopes viewers in a sensual exploration of materials and ephemerality.

The exhibition will feature Tosa’s Genesis video art series. Inspired by Rimpa, one of the major historical schools of Japanese painting with its 400-year legacy, Tosa plays with Zen concepts of chance through her use of Japanese color inks to generate solemn forms in water, the origin of all life. A pioneering feature of her practice is to introduce cutting-edge technology at the core of her creative process, playing with inks and dry ice captured by high-speed cameras.
