10 Exciting Things About Art Fair Philippines 2015
(SPOT.ph) There’s a little nook for a video installation and there’s a small room for an aural experiment. Art Fair Philippines seems to have portals instead of booths this year. Inch to the left and you’ll stumble onto a nightmarish vision of beauty (Evening Dress by Iya Consorio for Secret Fresh, photo above). Waltz to your right and suddenly you’ll never have to wonder what a Ronald Ventura x Bench collaboration would be like.
Mike Adrao’s wall pieces (we’re not entirely sure what they are) welcome everyone to the labyrinthine parking lot-turned-hub for the arts. You might get a tiny sense of foreboding, because we felt like...not quite vermin, but at least, an itty-bitty thing crawling from one world to the next. Plus, we weren’t expecting a pop quiz from Geraldine Javier!
While it may not be as spry as the previous year’s affair, the assortment of works is sure to satisfy your craving for culture. Here are the highlights of Art Fair Philippines 2015:
