This is a form of star worship that, in its emphasis on an unrealizable world, ends by preventing audience identification. The spectatorial plea- sures offered by the star system of the early to mid-1960s, Joaquin argues, are not driven by identification but by wonder, idolatry practiced from afar.

  • Santiago Bose Striking Affinities Catalogue.Pdf
    The exhibition explores the geographic coordinates of Santiago Bose’s practice: Baguio, Manila, New York, Adelaide, Bali, and Spratly Islands. These places are homelands, contact zones, passage ways, hot spots, exhibition sites -- shaping the work of Bose in the same way that the artist in a reciprocal gesture shaped them. They are mapped out in the exhibition to remember the movements of Bose as well as to understand how he likewise speculated on possible worlds beyond the existing cartography within which he circulated with interest, if not with alacrity. Part of the three-part Bose project, this second iteration follows through Bare Necessities, which laid out the groundwork of artistic impulse and the fundamentals of risk. - words by Patrick Flores Hills Hoist 1994 mixed media 49.75h x 33.20w in 126.36h x 84.33w cm inquire book an appointment Bandit 1999 mixed media on plywood 27.5h x 38.25w in 69.85h x 91.16w cm inquire book an appointment “Lola Dianang’s Garden” 1973 51.57h x 20.08w in 131h x 51w cm inquire book an appointment BALI Balinese Diary (Cover) 2000 mixed media 30.50h x 22w in 77.47h x 55.88w cm book an appointment *from the collection of Kim and Felicia Atienza Pages from Bose’s Balinese Diary Pages from Bose’s Balinese Diary Pages from Bose’s Balinese Diary BAGUIO Untitled (Burned with Magnifying Glass) 1995 watercolor on handmade paper 25.25h x 33.25w in 64.14h x 84.45w cm inquire book an appointment Faith Healer (Solar Art Series) 1995 intermedia on handmade paper 35.25h x 28w in 89.53h x 71.12w cm book an appointment
