DREAM STATES
extended VIEWING
GROUNDSPACE
Featuring works by Jes Fan, Olafur Eliasson, Katharina Grosse, and Michael Ho, there is a trance-like quality to the works in this exhibition that manifests itself in sinuous lines, vivid spray-painted colors, iridescent, amorphous forms, and the otherworldly glow of light against glass. Together, they create fictions that disturb, unsettle, and hypnotize all at once, simultaneously luring and rooting the viewer into a state of in-betweenness that mirrors the artists’ own navigations in and out of the contradictions, ambiguities, and dualities of the spaces they inhabit.
Curated by Bambina Olivares.
PRINTMAKING: The power of pressed images
UNTIL END OF MAY 2025
2/f sOUTH GALLERY
The notion of power, force, and pressure serves as a conceptual starting point in this exhibition featuring prints from the Metropolitan Museum of Manila Collection. The exhibit reflects on the cultural, environmental, and psychological aspects of pressure in contemporary society. It examines how people, creatures, societies, and ecosystems expend and respond to them.
Curated by May Lyn Cruz.
