Panel Discussion: “Talk on the Master Narrative of the Aesthetic Incorrect” with Gaston Damag, Manuel Ocampo, Raymond Lee, and Gerry Tan : January 29, Friday, 4-6 pm, SLab at Silverlens Galleries.

Four Filipino artists and thinkers come together to discuss the irony of making art as a devotional practice in a setting that doesn’t need it. Gaston Damag, the man behind Synthetic Reliquaries a show, which mixes the ‘native’ Ifugao bulul with resin polyester, wants to launch an inquiry into the position of contemporary art in history, society and space. How does art’s meaning and interpretation change in every setting or context? What is the role of the artist in this journey of thought? Does art and meaning exist because of who makes it and/or who looks at it?

The event is free of charge but reservations are required. Please contact Thess Nobleza at 8160044 or email us at manage@silverlensphoto.com.
