Stories on Philippine Art: From Nothing to Something
A Lecture-Demo on November 24, Saturday

The Museum Foundation invites you to our final lecture for the series Stories on Philippine Art: From Nothing to Something which will be held on November 24, Saturday, from 10:00am to 12:00 nn at the Tambunting-Villonco Hall of the Museum of the Filipino People.

Guest lecturer Moralde “Ral” Arrogante is a metal sculptor who will give a lecture-demo on how to make simple sculptures using recycled materials such as metal, wood, plastic and others. He takes cold and rigid metals and transforms them into an artwork that speaks of movement and warm, endearing sentiments like amusement, fascination and nostalgia. This artist creates sculptures that are meant to connect with the viewer- intellectually, emotionally and physically. He encourages people to poke, nudge and play with his works.

Arrogante works with metal scrap such as copper and brass. All he has for tools are pliers, metal cutters, hammers, punchers and his hands. He does not glue nor weld, only twists, turns and ties pieces together. He uses items such as doorknobs, safety pins, chains, bells and, from nothing, creates something absolutely fascinating.
