Why The Filipinos Are Still Poor

Here's an interesting new look at why the Filipinos are still Poor.

We do not support all the opinions in this video, but they sure do have some points.

And also, maybe if we express the country's problems in a more creative light, we can find more creative and colorful solutions as well for them.

MANILA DESIGN WEEK

We're all geared up for Manila Design Week! We're sponsoring the Wall Lords Event on the first day of the week, that's August 7. 8 crews will battle it out for wall lords supremacy and represent our country for the international showdownat Shanghai, China.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

Awesome show!! Awesome weekend with out the internet!! High fives to BEE EYES, MR. RETARDO, SHARON ATILLO and LEAH CASTANEDA and a big thank you to Kiko Escora and Sidharta Perez

The weather was scorching as we worked from day to night. Beads of sweat appearing and evaporating on our foreheads as we were setting up , and making these works individually. As the night pressed on, the show was intensified and stayed true to it's thesis. In the beginning, it was the crowd entertaining themselves with the works... and as the night progressed it was all about the love. It wasn't an exhibit. It was a party. The outcome, overwhelming. This was what we were working for. The difference between this exhibit and the others was i guess the fact that everybody was welcome. No elitism. Just pure madness. It was fun.

To all those who fucked art and came. Thank you.

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
