Yasmin & Lirio @ Liongoren Gallery
Yasmin departs from her figurative works in the past to dwell on her early works "And Then I Smiled . . .", a reference to her successful battle in 2010 with an extremely rare cancer (stage 3 sarcoma) that removed a large part of her jaw. The exhibit will help fund her reconstructive surgery and maintenance repair. Feeling "half full, and half empty," after a procedure that left her cancer-free but missing a large part of her jaw and struggling to "make sense of the senselessness of missing my students, my work, my colleagues, but only too glad to be alive," Yasmin surrounded herself with bits of paper, paint, and other materials she randomly put together much like healing the pieces of her broken life.
To coincide with the opening exhibit of Yasmin on March 12, also at Liongoren Gallery, is the fundraising show for the recovery of another artist, Lirio Salvador, who is in a coma at the Lasalle hospital following a motorcycle accident last December 2011. The works of Lirio and his friends will be exhibited until March 24 where all the works will be auctioned off. For more details about the auction please call the gallery at 9124319, 4393962, 9346494 (look for Fatima) or eMail liongorengallery@yahoo.com

Dessicated Proxy
paintings, installations, and 3D works
7 January - 29 February 2012
Galleria Duemila, Pasay
"art may never capture the divine. art may never come any closer than it has for the last 15,000 years towards palpably rendering the transcendent. art may always remain a finite, perishable frustration, clawed upon by possessed beings, never fully satisfied, yet never fully giving up on the window to a higher frame of seeing. as a reward, the dessicated proxies we cherish, treasure, castigate, condemn or at least listen to and observe offer a pained hope that we might know above ourselves . . ."

Cosmetic Order @ Mo-space

Cosmetic order hints at a lurking unease, one that is deliberately glossed over or veiled by trumpeting a sense of détente. In referencing this surface tension, Zamuco, Ramirez, and Floirendo take off from various directions - superficial postures of knowing, politics of representation, downplayed as well as hyped hierarchies, and so on. Coupling photography, video, assemblage, and installation, among a mix of other ways of dealing with materials, these three artists takes converge to suggest the possibilities of agitation through modes ranging from earnest grasping of core spirituality, countervailing image-making, and assertions of positionality and agency.
About the Artists: Oscar Floirendo, Claro Ramirez, and Eric Zamuco are all gradutes of the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts with several citations between them, regroup after having first shown together in the 90s.

Claro Ramirez @ FinaleArtFile
A prequel to Claro Ramirez’s offering for the upcoming 2011 Jakarta Biennale, Wanted: Tubero features an initially minimal installation of television monitors connected with PVC pipes. During the exhibition opening and throughout the show’s run, visitors will be invited to adjoin to the installation through available pipes which may be connected to the existing work. Wanted: Tubero, particularly within the arts, emphasizes the importance of engagement, participation and community. Ideas that are reflected as well in the monitors' content, the televisions play videos of other artists’ work as well as Ramirez’s own. The process of audience involvement in the installation will also be documented to eventually become a part of the evolving work.
Wanted: Tubero is the 10th solo exhibition of Claro “Chitz” Ramirez, who practices both as an artist and curator. A recipient of the Thirteen Artists Award in 2000, Ramirez’s works are often site-specific installations, attached to the exhibition space, context and audience. With the latter, he gives particular value to reception, connection and interactivity. Having studied Commercial Arts in the University of Santo Tomas and Fine Arts in the University of the Philippines, Ramirez held his first solo show in 1996 and has been exhibiting his video installations since 2002. From 2005, he has also been acting as consultant for Lopez Memorial Museum in artistic direction and in multimedia exhibitions.
Ramirez’s Wanted: Tubero is the third 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 current project’s focus on the video art practices of selected Philippine contemporary artists. Ramirez’s exhibition follows the End Frame 3 shows of Tad Ermitaño and Manny Montelibano and will be followed by the exhibitions of Kiri Dalena, Yason Banal, Kaloy Olavides and Maria Taniguchi.

Mideo Cruz @Duemila
After the controversial exhibit at the CCP last August, Cruz is back with a body of works that again looks at the representation of power and how the public assigns reverence to those who have it. To explore this idea, he chose portraiture with reference to those commissioned works from the Renaissance Europe to the newly industrialized America.
