Time Lapse: An Art Exhibit

Tin-Aw Gallery, located on the upper ground floor of Somerset Olympia Building, will be hosting “Time Lapse”, an exhibit involving the works of over 50 Philippine artists. The concept of the exhibit revolves around the photography technique with the same name. This process is taking a picture of a subject at a much slower frequency. With this technique, we are able to view a compressed perspective of slowly developing instances, such as the blooming of a flower or the changing night-and-day cycle of a chosen landscape.

“Tin-aw Art Gallery applies this concept in its upcoming exhibition where over 50 artists will submit small-format artworks of any medium, and hang them to fill the gallery walls. The installation process will be documented in a time lapse video to show how the exhibition evolves from a single hung frame into a gallery of small works displayed in salon-style.”

There will also be forums and lectures by artists who utilize electronics as a medium or a component for their creations. The topic for the July 18 lecture will be about video, robotics, and sound art. On July 25 the lecture will be about the use of light and mirrors in creating visual illusions.

Palamuti Featured artisan,Paola Germar, will be among the artists who will be displaying their works at this exhibit. If you have the time, please drop by to view her creations.

FITE x Metropolitan Museum Textile Festival 2015

I only found about this exhibit yesterday! And I'm a bit sad that I didn't get to register at some of workshops and talks but I look forward to attending the workshop on Metal Lace Creations with Armel Barraud this Sunday. I am crossing my fingers nonetheless, if I don't get to be able to attend the workshop, I think the exhibit will still be worth my while. 

The Renaissance exhibit opens at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila’s Tall Galleries on July 8, 2015 and will run until September 12, 2015.

For the month of July the Metropolitan Museum of Manila will be hosting the Festival International des Textiles Extra Ordinaires. This festival aims to celebrate the people, places, and traditions bound together through one of humanity’s most innovative creations: textiles. Textiles are more than just fibers and fabrics; it is a sign of civilization.  Filipinos have been known to produce natural textiles as part of their heritage and culture millennia before even being recognized as a nation. In the modern world, producing textiles is considered to be one of the top polluting industries. Romanticizing the past is one thing, but switching back to natural methods may someday be significant to a sustainable tomorrow.

 

FREE Admissions to the MET on Sunday with workshops and artists talks. Interested participants of the workshop and artist talk must send an email to info@metmuseum.ph to reserve a slot. See you at the MET! 

Festival International des Textiles Extra Ordinaires first venue was in France and was held in Vietnam the following year. In line with French National Day, FITE will be in Manila to bring, discover and share innovative design techniques to the people of the Philippines.

FITE will be around until September, and as well as having exhibits showcasing various textiles from around the world, they will also be holding lectures and workshops regarding natural methods of producing them. Artisans, weavers, and fashion designers will be passing on their knowledge to everyone willing to learn about the craft of producing textiles and products associated with it. From basket weaving to fashion shows, FITE will be have speakers coming from France, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Mexico.

 

Armel Barraud, Whispering Wires 

Personally I am looking forward to viewing the creations of French designer Armel Barraud. She specializes in using wire to create installations; presenting them as drawings. Her designs involve scenes of wrought wire, delicately made to look like they were made of lace. Her pieces are known to interact with the light, showing emotions that are stimulating and filled with a sense of transience.

The Schet’s Bazaar group, an artists’ community on Facebook, organized this event.  They are a community comprised of lovers of art, music, tattoos, and random finds. If you’re the type of person who’s into these artistic pursuits, you should definitely drop by the Sikatuna Area this weekend. Admission is free!

The word “Schets” is of Dutch origin, and it means “to sketch”. Many visual artists will also be at this mini art-and-music festival, and they will be featuring some of their most expressive creations.  So come for great music, great food, and great art!

Kikayism, our online store will be joining the Global Pinoy Bazaar 2010 on November 6 to 7, 2010! Palamuti Jewelry will be on display.

1.) Why are we joining Yabang Pinoy’s Global Pinoy bazaar?

In line with Yabang Pinoy’s desire to advocate Pinoy pride, we at Kikayism genuinely believe in the sheer talent that Filipino citizens are able to harness. In honoring national diversity, Kikayism has made it a point to promote products made from local resources in various Philippine provinces. Joining the Global Pinoy bazaar is a means to encourage the Filipino craftsmen and women who simply look to earn a little extra income through their creativity and hard work. Pinoy products are definitely something to brag about!

2.) What can shoppers expect from our 2010 Collection?

Based on our product line-up, shoppers can most definitely expect variety! First and foremost, we have our Palamuti Jewelry line; which promises an interesting sea of costume and art jewelry designs, ranging from ready-to-wear pieces to those that suit a more “high-fashion” look.

Look forward to some native Pinoy pride with our Kikay Sisidlan bags made of purely woven Inabel from the Ilocos, and our Pinangga for Kikayism clothing line which showcases beautiful, painstakingly embroidered fashion pieces; a range of classy products made with authentic Pinoy love and imbued with genuine indigenous culture.

AND since beach season in the Philippines is all-year round, we certainly won’t leave out on the beach-loving, sun-worshipping bohemian Pinay! We promise to keep her stoked with a tropical punch of a shopping experience, because she will undoubtedly love our locally-made Merkins knit bikinis and Sunkissed line of tie-dye tees.
