FUCK ART JUST DANCE ON MARCH 12 FRIDAY

Here we go, I talked about an upcoming exhibit at Manila Contemporary curated by Kiko Escora, If you have the time please pass by because I reckon it's going to be a whopper of fun show. The variety of young artists I'm exhibiting with will tickle different kinds of people.

F*ck Art, Let’s Dance will stubbornly insist that it has no central theme. But we all know a non-theme is a theme in itself. Its attempt to dichotomize an artist’s life into art=work and dance=fun is, in fact, an allusion to a rebellion against the drudgery of careers, crappy salaries and 9-5 jobs. This exhibit is Kiko Escora’s answer to post-monotony revelry, as the artists temporarily “surrender” their art in its respective space to make way for the much-deserved night of mayhem. “F*ck art (for now), and let’s dance the night away.” -- that’s what it really says.

This exhibit marks the foray of these twelve young artists into the formal gallery system. It is also the first time for a gallery to host an exhibit for Manila’s underground fashion and music scene.

The exhibition will kick off with a party with bands Pedicab and Beeyes, and DJs Gigee, Chi and The Diegos – an opening night unlike any other among Manila’s established galleries.

Participating artists, all handpicked by Kiko Escora, include Cameron Clark, Nixon Marquez, Chi Kotur, Marvin Tojos, Sharon Atillo, Raena Abella, Leah Castaneda, Otto Terapen, Shahani Gania, Jujiin Samonte, CHI CHI and Chris Yniguez.

F*ck Art, Let’s Dance opens on Saturday, 12 March 2010 at 6pm in Manila Contemporary. The exhibition will run until 19 March 2010. Manila Contemporary is located at Whitespace, 2314 Pasong Tamo Extension, Brgy. Magallanes, Makati City. For inquiries about the exhibition, please contact Sidd at 844 7328 or email to s.perez@manilacontemporary.com

Creativity Tip # 1 : Think silly thoughts. The more fearless you are with your imagination the more free you are to create new things...see new things.

Creativity Tip # 2 : Think as if. Think as if you are a rockstar, a success story... the bill gates of your own silicon valley. Think therefore you are therefore what you think is who you are and who you are will be what you eat. What you eat will be what you shit and what you shit is what you release and flush down the toilet. What you flush down the toilet is the mark, that stain you leave in this world.

Creativity Tip # 3 : Hang out with children. Children have the greatest most honest minds in the world. You think you're silly? Talk to a kid. And Apply his/her thoughts into reality...you'd be an instant genius. Picasso had images from kid's drawings... Eyes on foreheads, noses on chins. The famous anime DORAEMON used japanese children's stories written by the children for every episode.

Creativity Tip # 4 : Just Do It.

"Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. " - George Jung

p.s.: I sincerely would like to thank Mark Salvatus a.k.a. Boy Agimat for the tips.. I just added my own rendition to his awesome seminar.

I Think It Left Some Glitter On My Eye

I've always wanted to live in Japan, it might be the bright lights, the famous streets of lore where so much indpendent culture sprung out of. It might be the lure of the zen mentality or the samurai way of living. It might even be my love for Japanese food. I've always wanted to live in Japan. In the future I foresee this as the country I'd want to end up being lost in. Lost in translation would be a pretty harassing but somewhat interesting experience as well I reckon. In this sprawling city, there is a mystique that i want to experience in between it's streets. Oh yeah this video is some what awesome.. I lost myself there..

CHICHI / Manila Contemporary

I'm off to create something for an exhibit curated by Kiko Escora. It's A group show in Manila Contemporary at Pasong Tamo. I get excited and energized attending meetings like these. I always feel like I'm not even born yet. I'm still trying. I'm still growing. Still pushing. I don't ever want to be in a place where i'm ever satisfied. I think to be totally satisfied with where you are is death. Keep your eyes peeled here for more information about the exhibit!

World Domination

I passed by Greenbelt the other day to check on one of my old works. This was my first commissioned painting. It was for Grey One Social. I heard they were going to bring change it so I figured it would be nice to reflect on where I came from. Everything in this world has an expiry date anyway. I called it World Domination because i had a vision of one day just enveloping myself around the concept of what the "world" would be and just dominating it with whatever i would be doing in the present and to the future. As per Grey One Social, I also wanted to give the store something that would represent its vision as a local establishment churning itself in to a more global entity..So there you have it.. Industry mixed with organic capability and hard dorty work is equal to world domination. I think.

Clae - Zissou

Deriving it's design from the adventure driven deck shoes, promoting exploration in a free style; Clae is releasing for it's S/S 2010 collection the Clae Zissous seemingly inspired by it's predecessor the Clae Cousteau I like the little fact that Clae looks like it names it's shoes from pop culture icons like Jack Cousteau who was a french naval officer and explorer. While the Zissou seems like it is inspired by the character Steve Zissou played by Bill Murray in the movie , Life Aquatic With Steve Zisssou.

I like the little black one on top especially. While the blue one..i'm sure some people more adventures than me would like to try them on.
