  • Manuel Ocampo Yes, Sir/Ma’Am! No, Sir/Ma’Am! Right Away, Sir/Ma’Am!
    YES, SIR/MA’AM! NO, SIR/MA’AM! RIGHT AWAY, SIR/MA’AM! MANUEL OCAMPO YES, SIR/MA’AM! NO, SIR/MA’AM! RIGHT AWAY, SIR/MA’AM! MANUEL OCAMPO FOREWORD TYLER ROLLINS With Yes, Sir/Ma’am! No, Sir/Ma’am! Right Away, Sir/Ma’am!, Manuel Ocampo returns for his fourth solo exhibition at Tyler Rollins Fine Art, taking place from March 1 through April 14, 2018. The exhibition features large-scale paintings inspired in part by the work of Theodor de Bry (1528–1598), known for his detailed and sometimes fanciful engravings of the native inhabitants of the Americas and their recent contacts with European explorers and colonists. Ocampo intermixes scenes from these works with motifs taken from American political cartoons from the period of the Philippine American War (1899-1902), with their often outrageous ethnic stereotypes. That war is considered by many to be “America’s frst Vietnam War,” and its years of invasions, insurgency, and atrocities remain a major touchstone in Philippine history, although they are largely forgotten in the US. Through the juxtaposition of imagery from two historical periods of contact and confict between the Western and non-Western worlds, Ocampo explores the evolving role of visual representations in colonial expansion, both as complicit agents and as modes of resistance, while also refecting on themes relating to personal identity, race, and migration that seem so relevant today. Ocampo’s new works were prepared in an open studio at the gallery, in which other artists were invited to collaborate. Based in New York, the Philippines, and Europe, they include: DaZe, Jigger CruZ, Irene Iré, LaZaro Juan, Gorka Mohamed, Todd Richmond, Roger Kleier, Paolo Javier, and Jevijoe Vitug.

  • Manuel Ocampo
    Manuel Ocampo Manuel Ocampo Galería Juan Silió Booth ANY214 Manuel Ocampo (1965, Quezon City) lives and works in his hometown, in Philippines. He is known for his frequent and strategic stytilistic drifts in response to new contexts and subject matter. His shows are often constructed around contradictory tendencies, elaborating discrepancies between what a painting appears to be and how it behaves in relation to the structures that legitimate its appearance. He always embraces sudden shifts of style and emphasis. He paints, but doubt is created as to whether any particular medium is the solution. Ocampo uses as inspirational resources, both high and low cultures, like motifs from Art History (such as Goya), religious symbols, popular western culture, or even literature. Ocampo’s style is characterized by his use of coarse brushwork and use of vivid colors, in addition to his dark humor and often macabre subject matter. He deeply admires and often quotes Martin Kippenberger. Number three is a constant in Western culture. From Christianity and its Holy Trinity, and its equivalent in Art, triptychs, to cinema or literature through trilogies, even temporally speaking: past, present, and future. Ocampo encompasses, precisely, through his personal pictorial language, a trilogy of works about the three main philosophical models for society: Utopia, Dystopia and Heterotopy. If Utopia, presented by Thomas More in 16th Century as an ideal city, has failed in all the attempts to make it truth; in the Heterotopia that Foucault showed us, our postmodern politicized, economized and in continuous revolution society is reflected, which paradoxically tents to globalization and homogenization.

    THE JEAN-NOËL HERLIN ARCHIVE PROJECT Jean-Noël Herlin New York City 2005 Table of Contents Introduction i Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups 1 Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups. Selections A-D 77 Group events and clippings by title 109 Group events without title / Organizations 129 Periodicals 149 Introduction In the context of my activity as an antiquarian bookseller I began in 1973 to acquire exhibition invitations/announcements and poster/mailers on painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance, and video. I was motivated by the quasi-neglect in which these ephemeral primary sources in art history were held by American commercial channels, and the project to create a database towards the bibliographic recording of largely ignored material. Documentary value and thinness were my only criteria of inclusion. Sources of material were random. Material was acquired as funds could be diverted from my bookshop. With the rapid increase in number and diversity of sources, my initial concept evolved from a documentary to a study archive project on international visual and performing arts, reflecting the appearance of new media and art making/producing practices, globalization, the blurring of lines between high and low, and the challenges to originality and quality as authoritative criteria of classification and appreciation. In addition to painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance and video, the Jean-Noël Herlin Archive Project includes material on architecture, design, caricature, comics, animation, mail art, music, dance, theater, photography, film, textiles and the arts of fire. It also contains material on galleries, collectors, museums, foundations, alternative spaces, and clubs.

    MANUEL OCAMPO AN ARCANE RECIPE INVOLVING INGREDIENTS CANNIBALIZED FROM THE RELIQUARIES OF SOME PROFANE ILLUMINATION MANUEL OCAMPO AN ARCANE RECIPE INVOLVING INGREDIENTS CANNIBALIZED FROM THE RELIQUARIES OF SOME PROFANE ILLUMINATION Manuel Ocampo has been a vital presence on the international art scene for over twenty years, and we are very pleased to welcome him back to New York for this exhibition of new works, which marks his sixtieth solo show and his first in New York in four years. Born in the Philippines, Ocampo eventually moved to the United States, graduating from college in California, where he remained based for almost ten years. His first solo show, which took place in Los Angeles in 1988, set the stage for a rapid rise to international prominence. By the early 1990s, his reputation was firmly established, with inclusion in two of the most important European art events, Documenta IX (1992) and the Venice Biennale (1993). He has subsequently participated in numerous museum exhibitions and biennials around the world, including the biennials of Gwangju (1997), Lyon (2000), Berlin (2001), and Seville (2004). He is now the most internationally active contemporary artist from the Philippines. Currently based in Manila, he spends significant time working in the US and Europe, particularly Germany, Luxembourg, and France. Ocampo is known for fearlessly tackling the taboos and cherished icons of society and of the art world itself. During the 1990s, he was noted for his bold use of a highly charged iconography that combined Catholic imagery with motifs associated with racial and political oppression, creating works that make FOREWORD powerful, often conflicted, statements about the vicissitudes of personal and group identities.

  • Press Release | 17 June 2021
    YAVUZ GALLERY | PRESS RELEASE | 17 JUNE 2021 Manuel Ocampo Promdi Exhibition dates: 25 June to 25 July 2021 Location: Gillman Barracks, 9 Lock Road, #02-23, Singapore Yavuz Gallery is proud to present Promdi, a solo exhibition by Manuel Ocampo in Singapore. One of the most internationally-acclaimed Filipino artists, Ocampo is known for his provocative works that present ironic commentaries and questions on personal identities, versions of culture and society. Deploying an arsenal of art-historical and literary references, religious and popular iconography, Ocampo’s complex paintings weave together various visual vocabularies, creating implied meaning through accumulation and its interrelationships. Presented to viewers in a way that remains deliberately opaque, the symbols and its formal properties that render them – their vivid colours, energetic gestures and course brushstrokes - open up a spectrum of interpretations that defies easy definitions. In his latest exhibition Promdi, Ocampo brings to attention the arbitrary line between rural and urban life. Its title references the stereotypical and offending titular term, used in the Philippines to describe people who first arrive in a big city and wear unfashionable clothes or speak in a rural-like accent from the countryside. Using the artist’s personal experience and the recent move of his studio – from metropolitan Manila to the coastal and rural Bataan (a three-hour drive Northwest from the city) – as a starting point, the series of new paintings continue his fearless interrogations surrounding notions of personal identity, migration and culture in his characteristic irreverence. ABOUT THE ARTIST Ocampo has been a vital presence in the international art scene for over twenty-five years, known for his paintings that play with religious and cultural symbolism and iconography for an incisive examination of various taboos and icons in society.
