CARLOS MADRID DIRECTOR BIENAL DE MANILA / MANILA BIENNALE VISIBLE: SELF-CONSTRUCTION AND WILD GROWTH WAWI NAVARROZA & NICOLÁS COMBARRO
FECHAS DATES: 3 de febrero – 5 de marzo de 2018 LUGAR VENUE: Plaza Moriones, Fort Santiago
En el marco de la Bienal de Manila "Ciudad abierta", la artista filipina Wawi Navarroza y el artista español Nicolás Combarro presentan VISIBLE, un proyecto conjunto que se centra en dos realidades muy presentes en la ciudad: la arquitectura local (en su mayoría autoconstruida) y la naturaleza urbana (crecimiento espontáneo de vegetación). Aunque a menudo ignoradas, VISIBLE destaca estas dos realidades rampantes de Manila como un punto de partida para repensar nuestro lugar en la ciudad.
In response to Manila Biennale 2018 “Open City”, Filipino artist Wawi Navarroza and Spanish artist Nicolás Combarro present VISIBLE, a site-specific work bringing focus towards two presences very much alive surrounding Manila: local architecture (mostly self-constructed) and urban nature (spontaneous plant growth). The artists highlight these two rampant realities of the city, although often ignored, as a starting point for rethinking about our place in it.
VISIBLE can be seen at Plaza Moriones in Fort Santiago as a site-specific installation/sculpture/ bricolage made with repurposed wood from past Intramuros dismantled buildings, and botanical samples transplanted from wild growth spurted from the walls of Intramuros, crevices of cement, the interstices and abandoned historical sites. Their photographic archive will also be presented in collages pasted outdoors.
WNC Projects is a collaboration between international contemporary artists Wawi Navarroza (Manila, Philippines) and Nicolás Combarro (Madrid, Spain) who have worked regularly since 2011 in various exchanges in photography: image, text, workshops, publications and exhibitions between Southeast Asia and Europe. Both Navarroza and Combarro see their artistic practices combine photography with intervention and installation, anchored with a backbone on research. Each active locally and globally, they work on immersive projects that involve the artistic/conceptual, as well as the organization, production and articulation of their works. They are also active as educators. In 2017, they have been selected as finalists for the WMA Commission, Hong Kong addressing the issue of Mobility in big cities.

A more colorful equivalent of the English idiom “stranger than a three- headed dog”, the Spanish expression “más raro que un perro verde” is adopted with a Tagalog twist to give a name to this magazine as Perro Berde exemplifies the peculiarity and uniqueness of the fusion of two cultures. Published by the Embassy of Spain in the Philippines and the Instituto Cervantes de Manila, the publication has provided a space for artists, writers and researchers from different countries since 2009. The presentation of the new edition of the magazine also serves as an excuse to discuss with professionals from the world of Philippine art the health of cultural publications in the Philippines.
