  • 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

  • Koreanovelas, Teleseryes, and the “Diasporization” of the Filipino/The Philippines Louie Jon A
    Koreanovelas, Teleseryes, and the “Diasporization” of the Filipino/the Philippines Louie Jon A. Sanchez In a previous paper, the author had begun discoursing on the process of acculturating Korean/Hallyu soap opera aesthetics in television productions such as Only You (Quintos, 2009), Lovers in Paris (Reyes, 2009), and Kahit Isang Saglit (Perez & Sineneng, 2008). This paper attempts to expand the discussions of his “critico-personal” essay by situating the discussions in what he described as the “diasporization” of the Filipino, and the Philippines, as constructed in recent soap operas namely Princess and I (Lumibao, Pasion, 2012) A Beautiful Affair (Flores, Pobocan, 2012), and Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw (Bernal & Villarin, 2013). In following the three teleserye texts, the author observes three hallyu aesthetic influences now operating in the local sphere—first, what he called the “spectacularization” of the first world imaginary in foreign dramatic/fictional spaces as new “spectre of comparisons” alluding to Benedict Anderson; the crafting of the Filipino character as postcolonially/neocolonially dispossessed; and the continued perpetration of the imagination of Filipino location as archipelagically—and consequently, nationally—incoherent. The influences result in the aforementioned “diasporization”, an important trope of simulated and dramaturgically crafted placelessness in the process of imagining Filipino “communities” and their sense of “historical” reality, while covering issues relating to the plight and conditions of the diasporic Filipino. Keywords: Koreanovelas, Korean turn, teleserye, translation, imagined communities, diaspora, hallyu After a decade of its constant presence in the Philippine market, the extent of change brought about by the “Koreanovela” in the landscape of Philippine television is clearly noticeable and merits revaluation.
