Manila Art Fair!

I just came from the the Manila Art fair at the SMX Convention Center.  Let me tell you that it was really FANTASTIC!  I always love going to art exhibitions like this because it really inspires me!  The fair is on its second year and the talent and energy just seem to get better!  I have always believed that the Filipino Artist is the best in the world and this fair just made my point concrete!   You have to forgive me because I do not know all the names of the artists that I took photos of.  However if you anyone can point this out then it would be much appreciated.  I took photos of the art that moved me and art that I would not mind looking at day in and day out.

This was an installation by Valeriea Cavestany. It is called "In and out of the booz" The chair could also be an inspiration from the famous Campana brothers. I think it is called the Favela chair?

I like this painting by Amy Aragon. It is from the gallery called Manila Contemporay.

I like the randomness of this wall, I did something similar when I was in college.

This was kind of cool and scary at the same time.

I wish I could have seen this Poklong installation work, there seems to be some light and film projections. However it was not functioning that day.

Hope to see you there!
