Alfredo A. Liongoren Retrospective Exhibition

Layers and Layers of the Self Peeled Through
Alfredo A. Liongoren Retrospective Exhibition 

The UP Fine Arts Gallery cordially invites everyone this coming September 19, 4 PM, for the opening of Layers and Layers of the Self Peeled Through! 

Alfredo A. Liongoren’s retrospective exhibition brings together artworks from six decades of his practice: starting from his student years at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts in the early 1960s, to the succeeding decades—which have been typified by shifts between varying degrees of abstraction and figuration, and later, explorations with the overtly socio-critical and the performative. Laid down in themes and supplemented with archival materials, his artworks are treated as points within a matrix that one may trace along.

The exhibition will be open to the public from September 19 to October 6 at Galleries One, Two, and the Multi-purpose Hall of the UP Fine Arts Gallery.

Walk-in guests are welcome from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 9 AM – 4 PM. 

For inquiries, contact us at cfagallery.upd@up.edu.ph.

The L:sten:ng Biennial

The UP College of Fine Arts and PAROLA UP Fine Arts Gallery present
THE LISTENING BIENNIAL 2nd Edition Inter-Asia+

Co-presented by
Alitaptap Artists Community (Philippines), DZUP -UP CMC Department of Broadcast
Communication (Philippines), University Hotel, UP Diliman (Philippines), Multimedia University
Faculty of Creative Media (Malaysia), Silpakorn University Faculty of Fine Arts (Thailand), Camoes
Instituto da Cooperação e da Lingua Portugal (Japan)

Sponsored by
University of the Philippines Diliman Office of the Chancellor, UPD College of Mass
Communication, Goethe Institut Philippines, Japan Foundation Manila

Supported by
Anima Art Space (Philippines), BMLab (Philippines), Drawing Room (Philippines), UP Computer
Center

The Listening Biennial is a string of endeavours, where listening is in the core as a relational capacity,
a philosophical and political proposition, a creative practice and a research framework, which,
although initiated by individual scholars, artists, curators, is global in scope.

The First Edition was held in 2021, curated by Yang Yeung (Hong Kong), Israel Martinez (Mexico),
Budhaditya Chattopadhyay, and its initiator and artistic director Brandon LaBelle.
This Second Edition, happening in July 6 to August 8, 2023, is curated by Luisa Santos (Portugal),
Guely Morato (Bolivia), Rayya Badran (Lebanon), and Dayang Yraola (Philippines).

Yraola developed a range of activities for Asian cities, which proposes that listening be explored as a
discursive act of coming together in moving forward from the ashes of the pandemic and the ills
that it brought upon humanity. But where is forward? And how can listening do what it is assigned
to do?

To find out, it is proposed that we answer two questions:
1. What is it that we hear that we would listen to? In asking this question, we become aware of
what information or issues we are aware of, and therefore, have more tendency to react to.
2. What is it that we do not hear that we should listen to? In asking this question, we try to dig
deeper into our experience to find out what we might have missed, that may or may not be
important for us, which may or may not require a reaction from us.
To respond, there are exhibits, tambayan (listening sessions), performances, sound camp and
symposia that will be held in various locations in Asia, such as the University of the Philippines-
Diliman (Quezon City, Philippines), Alitaptap Artists Community (Cavite, Philippines), Silpakorn
University (Bangkok, Thailand), Multimedia University (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), on the air and
online via DZUP.

Dean Doi Rosete’s Legacy Lecture

The UP College of Fine Arts, through the Department of Visual Communication, invites you to Prof. Leonardo Rosete’s Legacy Lecture.

Prof. Leonardo Rosete, or Doi, as he is widely known, has stood as the persistent champion of the Industrial Design program.  After thirty-six years of distinguished service in the academe and the creative industry, Doi has built an extensive and expansive worldview concerning Industrial Design.  Using his personal narrative as a backdrop, Doi will discuss the beginnings of the field and the program, its current landscape, and his prescription to remain responsive to changing needs and demands.

Scheduled this June 29, globally recognized as World Industrial Design Day, we hope you can join us in celebrating this international day of observance as we shine a spotlight on Doi’s industrial design journey and the insights he has gathered along the way.
