Pilgrimage: Telescopic realities, kaleidoscope dreams

Miguel Aquilizan and Jessica Dorizac 7 May - 6 Jun 2026 The circle is an old idea: sun, orbit, mouth, wound To cast one is to believe something can be held together without edges. And thus, a ring is a small horizon, promising that silver might remember the hand that shaped it; A sharpened edge holds a trembling dot. -Holly Eddington... Read more

Nothing and Everything, For the Time Being

Anj Pe 7 May - 6 Jun 2026 In this day and age where everybody is doing two or five things at the same time, being on autopilot seems to be the normal setting.

Offcuts

Eugene Jarque 7 May - 6 Jun 2026 The work of Eugene Jarque has always occupied the dynamic intersection of the workshop and the studio.

For years, this creative energy was... Read more

Where da grass greens grow

Meety Mity 7 Apr - 2 May 2026 Where do we go when the world feels too heavy? At times, a thought of place arrives. It brings to mind a space we long for. Somewhere gentle and quiet, somewhere better.

The room you carry with you everywhere.

August Lyle Espino 7 Apr - 2 May 2026 In his solo exhibition The room you carry with you everywhere. , August Lyle Espino turns toward an inward space—one that hovers at the threshold where thought begins to take form, where impulse gathers just enough weight to become visible.

To the Author of the Last Page

David Ryan Viray 7 Apr - 2 May 2026 Margins and Detours There is a particular kind of freedom in refusing a straight path or a clear-cut practice.

Puno

Raffy T. Napay 7 Apr - 2 May 2026 In his latest exhibition, Puno , Raffy T.

Squared Lives

Luigi Singson 19 Feb - 21 Mar 2026 Squared Lives reflects on what shapes one's place in the world, as much as trying to find, maintain, and even scrutinize it, within the particular confines of an urbanized and digitalized society. Outdoor vistas of colossal high-rises and densely-populated districts, juxtaposed with scenes of indoor spaces – both bereft of... Read more

to feel small

Nicole Tee 19 Feb - 21 Mar 2026 Often in rock climbing trips and in the hikes to and from crags, Nicole Tee is pummeled by wave after wave of incessant thoughts.

Coming to This

Eunice Sanchez 19 Feb - 21 Mar 2026 Ang alaala ay dumarating nang pira-piraso, putol-putol, at sa mga sandaling hirap maisalin sa wika. Gaya ng tindig ng eksibisyong ito, ang mga imahe ay hindi nagtatangkang magsalaysay ng isang buong kronolohiya; sa halip, sila ay bumubugkos ng kanilang pagkakatabi at pagkakahiwalay. Sa mga puwang na ito umuusbong ang mga... Read more

Existence through allusions

Joanolasco 8 Jan - 7 Feb 2026 In Joanolasco’s ashen woods, trees become a sort of fortress, caging within its branches any being that yearns the horizon. Its smoke-weathered limbs force a crack in reality and break apart the light. Yet this bright mystical portal persists; inviting, guiding. Inherently diluting thick smog for eager travelers. The watercolor... Read more

Manual for Making Space

Julieanne Ng 8 Jan - 7 Feb 2026 The Two Lives of One Place Julieanne Ng grew up in a place where the view from the window is not of trees or streets, but of molds, pallets, and stacked plastic houseware.
