Art Exhibit in honor of Labor Day 2024 opens at the UP Fine Arts Gallery

Opening on May 17 (Friday), 5:00 P.M.

The UP Fine Arts Gallery invites you to the opening of Warm Bodies II: On Art, Labor, and Proletarian Struggle, in solidarity with Labor Day 2024.

The exhibition features works on Philippine labor, its movements, histories, or contexts by Grace Corpuz, Maan de Loyola, Concerned Artists of the Philippines (CAP), Edgar Talusan Fernandez, and Tambisan sa Sining in conversation with works in the CFA Permanent Art Collection by Leo Abaya, Amado Hidalgo, Julius Samson, and Phyllis Zaballero.

Curated by Lisa Ito-Tapang, the exhibit reflects on how the faces of Philippine labor are varied and encompass the breadth of classes, regions, and histories. The exhibition illustrates how cultural work and institutional collections intersect to reflect on the lives of the working classes and masses in conversation with contemporary Philippine artists and art collectives actively engaged in the theorization, immersion, or engagement with labor.

It is a second part of the exhibition Warm Bodies: On Defending the Right to Dissent earlier in January to February 2024 on the right to freedom of expression. Warm Bodies is also the second show in the Condition Reporting series of the UP Fine Arts Gallery, starting in 2024, that activates the UPCFA Permanent Art Collection and positions it in meaningful conversation with contemporary artworks, current practices, and extant archives.

We invite the public to the opening on May 17(Friday), 5:00 P.M. at the G1 Lobby. The exhibit will be on view until May 31 at Gallery Two, UP Fine Arts Gallery, Arts & Design Building West Hall, UP College of Fine Arts, University of the Philippines Diliman. Gallery hours from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

SINAG 2023 ID/VC Sophomore Show

Post author By cfawebadmin
Post date August 22, 2023

SINAG 2023 ID & VC Sophomore Portfolio Show

The Department of Visual Communication of the UP College of Fine Arts proudly announces the opening of SINAG 2023 on August 18, 2023, Friday, 4pm, at the UP Fine Arts Galleries! We take a glimpse into the portfolio works of Industrial Design and Visual Communication sophomore students from their first year and second year classes in the Associate in Arts and the Bachelor of Fine Arts programs. This academic exhibit is an admissions requirement for AA students as they aspire to pursue their BFA studies. Like the sun casting its rays as dawn breaks, so do these batch of art and design students burst with potential as they emerge from their recent remote learning set-up with their creative design explorations.

We enjoin students, faculty, family, and friends to the UPCFA SINAG 2023! Exhibit runs from August 18 to September 9, 2023. Free and open to the public. The gallery is open from 9am to 4pm.
