ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
TIPON: Artists Organizing shifts away from the traditional focus on individual artistic genius in recognition of the creativity, inspiration, and accomplishments derived from working together.
Six groups from different parts of the country are featured in TIPON to represent a sampling of contemporary art groups. More than merely anchoring on regional identities, the exhibit tells of different motives and bases for artists to come together and organize themselves. It also looks into how the groups, in the process, awaken to their own identity as an artist community, and how they contribute to the development of individual members, of the art scene, and of society at large. Each group establishes their unmistakable character in TIPON.
Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang I.N.K.), an organization of children's books illustrators, makes a statement on how the group is perceived to be as carefree as their creations, contrary to the maturity and professionalism that is required and delivered to make everything appear as child's play.
Anting-Anting, based in Cavite, simulates an artist's studio to put forward the experience of personal friendships and shared artistic fervor that sustain the tight-knit group.
The Pampanga Arts Guild articulates their pride on the Kapampangan cultural identity that is strongly bonded to the environment. The group rose to the challenge of the Pinatubo eruption with artistic passion and creativity.
Davao Artists' Foundation reflects on a common aspiration to resolve identities and other contentious concerns within their group, an umbrella organization of smaller art groups in Davao.
Lunâ Art Collective from Cebu engages the community in their public art by dealing with socio-political issues. In the exhibit, they present a street shrine to a local Cebuano who has fallen victim to violence.
Produksyon Tramontina, a Bacolod-based group, came to life with the advent of affordable and availability of digital film technology. They merge spectatorship and active participation in their video installation for the exhibit.
TIPON: Artists Organizing will be on view at the Upper Galleries of the Metropolitan Museum from October 20 until February 23, 2006.
The Metropolitan Museum is located at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Manila. Museum hours are 10am – 6pm, Monday to Saturday. For inquiries, call 523-7855 or 536-1566, or email info@metmuseum.ph.

Conversations.
Thursday
Met up with Kathy, Zarah and Owel at Gerry's Park Square.
I proposed a toast "to better lovelives."
Owel protested. "Bakit lovelife lang? Bakit hindi life in general na lang?"
Zarah saw my point immediately. "Kasi kapag okay ang lovelife, the rest will follow."
And I said, "Financial and personal success, we can pretty much manage on our own. Family problems, we can solve up to a certain point. Ang pera pwedeng kitain. Pero ang lovelife, prayers na lang 'yan."
And so the four of us raised our cocktail glasses and beer bottles "to better lovelives."
*****
An Usher DVD was playing on the overhead projector.
Owel: Sorry, I can't dance. My crotch is wet.

Friday
After Indi's despedida get-together at CPK Glorietta, I tagged along with Luis and Yvette to EBTG Night at Big Sky.
Chimay beer. Chillitees. More toasts to better lovelives. Girl love. (Hee.)
*****
Still at Big Sky:
me: Are you done flirting with the girls yet?
JP: I'm never done.

Out There.
Thursday, October 5, 2006
That seven meme.
And here's where I post seven songs currently on heavy rotation:
- Lonely Day (Phantom Planet) - I must have played this more than 7 times today. It's such a happy-sad song. I therefore declare this week my Phantom Planet week.
- Out There (Blake Babies) - My favoritest Blake Babies song. I looove the way Juliana Hatfield sings "you know it's stupi-id."
- Rudderless (The Lemonheads) - I was just on a Lemonheads/Blake Babies phase (ahhh early college memories!) before I moved on to this week's favorite. I heard they're going on tour for the new album (!!!) this November, and I'm sooo bummed I live too far away to catch a glimpse of hotness Evan Dando.
- Don't Let Go (Weezer) - I just can't resist singing the oooh woh woh part. Oh what fun. (n_n)
- Ben Gibbard singing Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way - It's funny and endearing, the way Ben sings it. Hee. <3
- Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles) - Listening to this always makes me wish I knew how to play the violin. And it still makes me wonder where all the lonely people come from.
- Sidewalk (Built to Spill) - What hasn't changed for you... Ah, this band sounds like several of my favorite bands rolled into one. I can almost feel a Built to Spill phase coming up...
I'll just tag anyone who hasn't done their seven current favorites.

So I'm a planet.
That's according to this Star Wars Wookieepedia entry.
Aids: planeta ka na pala. :))
starshuffler: planeta, galaxy system, space station, isang condominium sa mandaluyong, street sa tandang sora, at pabangong pang-tandercats na uso 'nung '70s na paborito ng lola ko.*
starshuffler: =))
Aids: bwahahahahahahahahahaa
Hahahah labo. Wala lang.
* Contrary to popular belief, my second name wasn't the combined form of my parents' names but was actually taken from that darned musk. Well at least I was lucky enough that my parents didn't have combine-able names (or they weren't stupid enough to try) and I didn't end up with stupid ass names like Jerebeth or Meldwin.
