We Was There
|
|
4/F Upper Wing Gallery
January 13 - March 5, 2011
We Was There is a
continuation of Reflections,
a residency and exhibit between young Korean and Filipino artists last
May 2010. The intiative brought together four artists from South Korea
and four from the Philippines, who—after spending time exploring both countries—reinterpreted their views based on the similarities and differences of their cultures through contemporary art.
We
Was There showcases
individual and collaborative works by Filipino artists Michael Arvin
Adrao, Carlo Gabuco, Leslie de Chavez, and Christopher Zamora, and by
Korean artists Che Jinsuk, Kwon Jayeon, Lee Soyoung, and Koh Byungsung.
On display are paintings, installations, and photographs previously
exhibited in Relfections,
as well as created thereafter.

Ode to Beauty: Paintings
by Chi K'ang
|
|
3/F Bridgeway Gallery
Ode to
Beauty presents
the works of Chi K'ang, a prolific Chinese brush painter who was
recognized for his exquisite expressions of nature and the female form.
Chi
K'ang was born to a family of
renowned painters and calligraphers. He was known for his freehand
paintings of beautiful court maidens, as well as of horses and
orchids. Chi
K'ang
painted without human models, yet crafted hundreds of different poses
and styles featuring modes of dress throughout the Chinese dynasties.
