Last few days! Catch the ongoing exhibition until 14 April, Saturday.
END FRAME VIDEO ART PROJECT 3 UNTITLED (CELESTIAL MOTORS)
a solo exhibition of Maria Taniguchi
It's the last few days to catch Maria Taniguchi's solo exhibition, Untitled (Celestial Motors), ongoing at Silverlens 20Square. Regular exhibition hours resume tomorrow and the exhibit runs until this 14 April 2012, Saturday. The exhibition is presented by End Frame Video Art Project 3: Present, the 2011-2012 Philippine video art festival, together with Silverlens 20Square.
Untitled (Celestial Motors) features Taniguchi’s video of the Philippine jeepney, using one from the Celestial Motors factory in San Pablo. Focusing on an unadorned unpainted jeepney of stainless steel shot against a white backdrop, the video bares the jeepney as an object of study. Through simple, crisp and startling takes showing the jeepney stripped into its basic form, the video distances from any specific context and instead acts as framework in accommodating the full weight of this iconic vehicle.
Taniguchi’s Untitled (Celestial Motors) is the sixth offering of End Frame Video Art Project 3, a project of the non-profit organization Visual Pond. Throughout the Philippine video art festival, artists stage a solo show presenting new video work in various venues from 2011 to 2012. Curated by Clarissa Chikiamco, the theme of the third edition, Present, refers to the project’s focus on the current video art practices of selected Philippine contemporary artists. Taniguchi’s exhibition follows the End Frame 3 shows of Tad Ermitaño, Manny Montelibano, Chitz Ramirez, Kiri Dalena and Kaloy Olavides. End Frame 3 caps with an exhibition by Yason Banal later this year.
Untitled (Celestial Motors) is made possible through the support of the LUX Associate Artists Program/Leverhulme Fund, London, UK. The show will be viewable on weekdays from 10 am to 7 pm, and Saturday, 1 to 6 pm. Silverlens 20Square is located on 2320 Pasong Tamo Extension, Yupangco Building 2, Makati City 1231.
