Shoebox Dioramas: Bea Camacho, Mariano Ching, Jordin Isip, Eugene Jarque, Hitoshi Kanamura, Mike Munoz, ikoy Riccio, Yasmin Sison, Mac Valdezco
6 May - 1 June 2009
The dialectics of size is extremely pushed into poles, as advancement is eager to produce the vacuum of objects from megastructures to minute creations. While enormity affirms its power by its apparent size, the puny rebuts and on a higher call, that 'small is powerful' [as advertisements would say it].
The collaborative work for the show entitled Shoebox Dioramas, delimits the idea of smallness and miniature versions of objects. The partial (miniature) scale from what seems like full-size projects done by artists in collaboration, shows another dimension further from the model frame, that ventures to the dimensions of a much smaller microcosm of limited space by way of understanding the confines of a shoebox.
The diminishing scaling of creating replicas exhibits the limited maneuvers of the eye, as it is ventured into a confined and minimal spatial commitment, as well as the commitment of configuring the hand to a much elaborate and finer motor skill.
The works for the show are established as building and/or creating real-time/actual objects by way of reducing them from their apparent and known physical attributes. These sculptural works are created by use of cotton, nylon, thread, which are transformed by crocheting, sewing into pieces of work as projected outputs of Yasmin Sison, Mariano Ching, and Bea Camacho (photographs of crocheted gloves). Also, other works are committed to construction, such as Ikoy Ricio's 'tiny boat' and Mike Munoz's miniature plaster letter blocks.
The sedentary activity of making or constructing partial and limited scale of a macrocosm of things transcends the physical work of real life and actual construction of building and making things, in which is very much alike in the same channel of tedious and laborious maneuverings of the hand and eye coordination. These works is in view of a smaller scale of a real-time world of objects, simulating the real-time world of physical work.
Shoebox Dioramas is in view at the Mag:net Gallery Ayala from 6th of May til 1st June.
Mag:net Gallery Ayala, is at the ground floor of The Columns Tower 1, at the corner of Ayala Avenue and Buendia. For details or inquiries, contact the gallery at 929-31-91 or email info@magnetgalleries.com or visit www.magnetgalleries.com
