About the Event
Artinformal presents new solo exhibitions by Lui Medina at the gallery’s Makati location opening on Aug 4, 2018, 6pm, will be on view until Sept 1, 2018.
In Lui Medina's The Notion of the Edge, a map is a landscape as it is contemplation of its own plasticity: the potential to proliferate topographies and shape place. It is by way of the edge that form and horizon are kept, always refusing to fray. It is the edge that marks a new limit, or a novel elaboration. Or, in another vantage: in Medina's hands, earth becomes prone to form, to fragment and splinter, prospected in pieces. Here, graphite is germane: a sea that unmoors us from certainties of direction or destination, proliferating instead premises of possibility, edgewise.
Lui Medina (b. 1981) lives and works in the Philippines. She continues to interrogate form and figure in her latest works using landscapes as framework and just as subject matter. Her most recent exhibitions include Where does landscape begin? (2016) and an eponymous exhibition in 2014 both at Artinformal, and Metamorphic Histories (2013) at The Vargas Museum. She has also been part of exhibitions at the Langgeng Art Foundation in Jogjakarta (2017), Mind Set Art Center in Taipei (2016), and Equator Art Projects in Singapore (2015). In 2018, she was artist-in-residence at Fusion Inaudita in Turin, Italy.
