The Lopez Museum and Library opens its second major exhibition for 2014, Articles of Disagreements, on 19 September 2014. Guest curated by Lian Ladia and Sidd Perez of Planting Rice, this exhibition features works by guest contemporary artists Tito and Tita (Film Collective), Nilo Ilarde, Buen Calubayan, and Maria Cruz, and will run until 20 December 2014.
Articles of Disagreement is a generative exhibition on art languages that will unearth different forms of art writing/ anecdotes of criticism in Philippine art history, our own historiography, the local art education infrastructure, and how we position ourselves in western critical languages. Though Articles of Disagreements was born out of a specific pool of articles and association towards critical inquiry in the local context, reflexive practices of contemporary artists are also put into focus, as diverse occupations in the Arts and other strategies an archive could take are explored to unburden itself from established institutional forms.
Works of Fernando Zobel, Alfonso Ossorio, Nena Saguil from the museum’s collection will be augmented by are works by Mars Galang, Raymundo Albano, Bobi Valenzuela, Jose Tence Ruiz, Judy Sibayan, along with writings of Marian Pastor-Roces, Patrick Flores, Rodolfo Paras-Perez, Emmanuel Torres, Joy Dayrit, Leo Benesa, Galo Ocampo, Guillermo Tolentino, Napoleon Abueva, Victor Edades, Purita Kalaw- Ledesma and more.
An interesting feature of the exhibition is a reading laboratory cum coffee shop (Reading Lab) that aims to elicit discussion and written contributions that will zoom in on the generation of narratives that make up the body of texts of Philippine art history, art criticism, and broad art writing.
The Lopez Memorial Museum is at the ground floor, Benpres Building, Exchange Road corner Meralco Avenue, Pasig City. Museum days and hours are Mondays to Saturdays, except holidays, 8am-5pm. For inquiries, call Tina Modrigo at 6312417 or send an email to lmmpasig@gmail.com.
