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.

  • Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines
    Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippines Just finished touring Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia and the Philippines which seems a logical breakpoint for a trip report before we get to China and the mainland. Regarding Indonesia, we never before had a real appreciation for how big the country actually is in terms of being an archipelago (over 13,400 islands with almost 6,000 occupied) and population (over 260 million ranking fourth in the world.) Indonesia stretches some 3,100 miles east to west and just over 1,000 miles north to south. Nearly half the population lives on the island of Java which has the second densest population per square mile in the world (next to Singapore). Motor bikes and cycles outnumber automobiles by far. Brunei, on the other hand, is a tiny sovereign state (the size of Rhode Island) on the Indonesian island of Borneo with a population of about 420,000. It is an extraordinarily rich country based on extensive oil and natural gas reserves. Malaysia is unique in that it is separated by the South China Sea into two regions; Peninsular Malaysia on the mainland adjacent to Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia and East Malaysia which is adjacent to Brunei and Indonesia. The population is over 30 million. It is a vibrant, growing country with an envious economy based on natural resources and a growing tourist trade. It has a very advanced healthcare system managed by the government. Lastly, the Philippines is comprised of over 7,600 islands and has a population of just over 100 million (ranking twelfth in the world.) The United States has a long history with the Philippines and large numbers of the population have immigrated to America.
