A proposal of complex, calculated fictions through "the D.I.Y" and methods of play, Readymade Chinagirls introduces two pairs of collaborations – Alice and Lucinda with Catalina Africa and Maria Jeona Zoleta – that are a generation apart. They come together for an exhibition where new post-feminist art find itself in an expanded field of artistic practice, and likewise explores the dynamics of collaborative work.
Alice and Lucinda is distinctly the invention in 1999 by Yasmin Sison and Lena Cobangbang under whose name they have produced originative projects that investigated the boundaries beyond object-making in the days of Generation X, indie pop and alternative icons in the social realm of urban Manila. On the other hand, emerging artists Catalina Africa and Maria Jeona Zoleta present another channel in projecting their joint fantasies separate from their individual art-making.
Readymade China Girls peers into two major works by Alice and Lucinda and new versions of Catalina and Jeona’s projects. The exhibition presents performance based works, video and sculpture.
Planting Rice would like to acknowledge the additional support of GeiserMaclang, Gym Lumbrera, Clarissa Chikiamco (Visual Pond) and Meagan Ong in this exhibition
In connection with this exhibition, Alice and Lucinda is also presented at A&L : the parallel (lives) museum at the U.P. Jorge B. Vargas Museum, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City from March 29 - May 2. Opening Reception on March 29, Thursday at 4pm co-presented with Finale Art File.
