About the Event

Artinformal presents Practices from the Peripheries, an exhibition curated by Ricky Francisco at the gallery’s Greenhills location, opening on Aug 25, 2018, Saturday, 4PM. The exhibit will feature artists Allison Wong-David, Aze Ong, Doktor Karayom, Ged Merino, and Ginoe Ojoy, and will be on view until Oct 13 2018.

Practices from the Peripheries

Practices from the Peripheries is conceptualized as an interchange of five solo exhibitions by artists the curator has worked with whose medium/material, circumstance, theme, or politics edges them out of the mainstream canvas-biased art market. 

Memory thematically ties all the exhibitions together into an archipelago of meanings, where exchange happens without diluting the individuality of each artist. Aspects of memory, from the ever-changing remembrance based on the context of who one is at the moment, to the choice of what to remember and what to forget, unconscious oblivion, and the active aspect of hope and faith, all figure in the five solo exhibitions of art practices from the peripheries

A roundtable discussion on Contemporary Art and the Art Market will open the exhibit. Joining the discussion are Dindin Araneta (Art Fair Philippines), Gene Paul Martin (Sampaguita Special Projects), Gabe Naguiat (Kalawakan Spacetime), and Yael Buencamino Borromeo (Areté).

Ricky Francisco is a freelance curator who is on a continuous and long-term contract with the Lopez Museum and Fundacion Sanso.
