Reverb at Lopez Museum

Reverb
(Lopez Museum, September 12, 2011-April 3, 2012)
Lopez Museum exhibit opens Sept 14.
Mall Of Asia exhibit opens Sept 15.

What does a museum sound like?

Apart from the gustatory and olfactory, the aural sense is possibly the least serviced among all the human sensory channels through which we experience what gets shown in museums and other spaces tending to human sensation. And so it was in keeping with the idea of venturing forth into mostly untrodden paths that Lopez Museum presents Reverb, a group exhibition on sound and the broad auditory spectrum as it opens to the public September 12, 2011. Reverb is the museum’s onsite offering for the Zero In museum consortium’s Open Call Festival which runs from September 15-24, 2011 at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium.

Reverb takes off from notions having to do with resonance, registration, and audible impressions. It brings together sound-based work from artists such as Eric Ambata, Kawayan de Guia, Tad Ermitaño, IC Jaucian, Diokno Pasilan, Ronald Tomas, the collaborative, E.X.I.S.T. (Experimentation in Sound Art Tradition), and UP College of Music ethnomusicologist Dr. Christine Muyco. In responding to Lopez Museum’s open call for sound-based proposals last year, these artists will be showing an amalgam of old and new works drawn up from the ambient and self-produced, the installative and site-specific, the found and the overlooked, alongside objects from the museum collection that invoke hearing and an overall sharpening of the experiential aspect of encountering art.

Reverb’s off-site component at the SM MOA Atrium will encourage mallers to physically engage with everyday objects such as air mattresses, and surrounding foliage. Live performances from these invited artists will make up both Reverb’s onsite and off-site complements which are also intended to emphasize the temporal and intangible nature of sound art.

The Lopez Museum is at the ground floor, Benpres Building, Exchange Road corner Meralco Avenue, Pasig City. Museum days and hours are Mondays-Saturdays, 8am-5pm,except holidays. You may reach the museum through telephone Numbers: 6312417/6359545.

TUPADA ACTION AND MEDIA ART (TAMA ’09)

presents

BUNGA (Fruition)

The 6th TUPADA INTERNATIONAL VISUAL PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL

A CONFLUENCE OF IDEAS




For the sixth year in a row, the Philippines shall once again be the venue of a confluence of performance and media art ideas from the different parts of the world, as the 2009 TUPADA ACTION AND MEDIA ART (TAMA) INTERNATIONAL VISUAL PERFORMANCE FESTIVAL commences. Known to be the only annual performance art festival in the Philippines, the TAMA Visual Performance Festival has, over the years, been instrumental in bringing together foreign and local performance and new media artists, creating first-hand, living experiences for the Filipino audience and enhancing the latter’s appreciation for and understanding of performance art. Moreover, this is the one time when artists congregate to share experiences, exchange ideas and impart the distinct culture, history and sensibilities of their respective countries. As for local artists, The Festival has been an opportune event to showcase and promote not just performance art, but the Philippines per se, and all the different facets of Filipino life and culture.




FRUITION OF THE ART-MAKING PROCESS




The upcoming TAMA International Performance Art Festival has been dubbed as BUNGA — a coined Filipino term that carries with it multilayered universal meanings: the state of bearing fruit, of being actual or complete, realization, possession, contentment, accomplishment, achievement, actuality, attainment, consummation, fulfillment, and realization.



A CONVERGENCE OF EXPRESSIONS



BUNGA - TAMA ’09, kicks off on December 7, 2009 at the Samba-Likhaan, Quezon City (at the back of St Luke’s Hospital). The annual live art event will commence with a performance from Bumbo Villanueva and an art talk/discussions of art practices by foreign participants. The next day, December 8, TAMA ’09 goes to the Ateneo Art Gallery for a short workshop/symposium, while December 9 brings the event to the Jorge B. Vargas Museum in UP Diliman. Performances by local and international artists will be held right after forums on live art practice for the three consecutive days.


Baler, Aurora hosts this year's provincial leg from December 10 to 13, with artist talks, video presentations, workshops and performances at the Museo ng Baler and Ermita Park. Yuan Mor’O Ocampo, pioneering organizer of live art festival PIPAF, will host the artist discussion. True to Tupada Action and Media Art's thrust for grassroots art education by siting performance in public space, there will be plenty of indoor, outdoor and even beachside performances for the duration of TAMA '09.


With a pre-event exhibition opening at the Big & Small Art Co. located at the 4th floor of SM Megamall Building A on December 5 showcasing paintings from TAMA artists and supporters, BUNGA - TAMA '09 brings fruition to individual concepts and collective visions of body, time, space, action, and sound performance as an ever-expanding and dynamic art genre. All exhibitions, art talks and performances are free and open to the public, and everyone is encouraged to attend.


International performance artists Cai Qing (China), Xing Xin (China), Sally Ng (Hongkong), Adina Bar-On (Israel), Midori Kadokura (Japan), Tanaka Teruyuki (Japan), Aye Ko (Myanmar), Barbara Sturm (Switzerland) and Aor Nopawan (Thailand) have been invited to participate in this year's event, along with Filipino artists Patrick "Kinigtot" Bacolor, Sherwin Carrillo, Patrick Chong, Jhay Colis, Thom Daquioag, Boyet De Mesa, Rommel Espinosa, EXIST Sound Art Group (Erick Calilan, PJ Soliven, Cris Garcimo and Roger Lopez), Bunch Garcia, Mitch Garcia, Ceej Gomera, Ian Madrigal, Marlon Magbanua, Vim Nadera, Yuan Mor'O Ocampo, Kaye O'Yek, Sam Penaso, Trix Syjuco, Wire Tuazon, Bumbo Villanueva and Mannet Villariba. The event will also showcase video presentations of performances from SORO Performance Unit, South Korea, and Ronaldo Ruiz of the Philippines.
