Hardware 2
November 29, 2002 to Jan 6, 2003
The UP Jorge Vargas Museum
As second of a series held alongside the commemoration of the Centenary of
the Federation of Philippine Labor and the establishment of the Philippine
Independent Church, Hardware 2 presents new projects by a mixed batch
composed of social realists and a fresh generation of socially-engaged
practitioners.
Hardware 2 features Nunelucio Alvarado, Pablo Baensantos, Antipas
Delotavo, Gene De Loyola, Leonilo Doloricon, Edgar Talusan Fernandez, Cap
Reyes and Jose Tence Ruiz along with Jes Aznar, Mideo Cruz, Boy
Dominguez, Boyet De Mesa, Emmanuel Garibay, Nonito Pongan, Ronaldo Quiocho
Ruiz, Noe Tio and Jevijoe Vitug. Adding a twist to the mix will be
cross-media practitioners Alfredo Juan Aquilizan, Nelson Ferraris and Ed
Manalo . Showing for the first time will be Danilo Ilag-Ilag, who here
collaborates on a large installation with Tence Ruiz, who also curates the
exhibition.
On display will be new installations, digital prints, sculpture,
painting, constructions and opening night performances by Cruz and Ronaldo
Ruiz. Hardware 2 follows a series began in August of this year that looked
back to the founding of, among others, the Union Obrera Democratica in
1902 and theAglipayan Church. By touching on topics such as labor, trade,
religiosity, nationalism, among others, the show pushes to invigorate a
viewpoint that there should be more to an art exhibit than the manufacture
of interior decor, quaint filipinism or detached formal play.
The show will open at 5:00 pm, Friday November 29, 2002, with
cocktails and performances at The Edge Gallery, UP Jorge Vargas Museum,
Manuel Roxas Drive, UP Diliman Campus, Quezon City. It will run until 6
January, 2003. The Edge Gallery is open to the public, free of charge,
Mondays to Sundays, 8:30 to 11:30 am and 1:00 to 4:30 pm.
