UNCOMMON SENSE: TRAUMA, INTERRUPTED, TOO


Uncommon Sense: trauma, interrupted, too

The House of Comfort Art Network or ARTHOC, in cooperation with the Drawing Room, Silverlens, Tin- aw and Britania Art Projects, presents Uncommon Sense: trauma, interrupted, too, at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), April 2 to 30. The public is invited to the opening at 5pm, April 2.

Curated by University of the Philippines art studies professor Flaudette May Datuin, this show is a sequel to the first trauma, interrupted Exhibition held at the CCP, June to July 2007, with 18 women artists from six countries participating (www.trauma-interrupted.org). Trauma, interrupted, too or TI2 will feature at least 20 male and female artists who will show works that focus – as in the first trauma, interrupted – not on the representation of trauma, per se or its source (the traumatic event), but on the ways by which trauma and/or its memory can unsettle and disrupt “common sense” narratives and representations. Participating artists include TI2 “originals”: Gina Osterloh, Alma Quinto, Judy Freya Sibayan and Ann Wizer. These women will be joined by colleagues from various age groups, political and artistic persuasions, working on a range of media: Leo Abaya, Roberto Acosta, John Paul Antido, Juan Alfredo Aquilizan, Elvert Banares, Marika Constantino, Marina Cruz, Mael De Guzman, Kiko Escora, Gilda Cordero Fernando, Eric Guazon, Winner Jumalon, Neil Manalo, Jim Orencio, Claro Ramirez, Jaypee Samson, Jerson Samson, Pamela Yan, Teena Saulo, Cristina Taniguchi, Maria Taniguchi, Rodel Tapaya, Juanito Torres, Jing Turalba and Abby Yao.

The artists will demonstrate through their works the meaning of going beyond theme, figure or what the work is “about,” on towards “how” the work compels us to recover our senses and learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more. This way, making uncommon sense of trauma, as site of political struggle, becomes a mode of resistance to common sense.



The exhibition is also dedicated to the memory of Sid Hildawa architect, visual artist, poet and CCP Visual Arts Director, who died in March 2008.

Proceeds of the sale of works will fund the operations and activities of ARTHOC, a non-stock, non-profit organization that believes in the power of art to empower, heal and comfort the afflicted, emerged from the first trauma, interrupted exhibition. It takes its name from Alma Quinto’s House of Comfort Art Project conceived and conducted for trauma, interrupted in the form of workshops for marginalized and traumatized communities nationwide.

Uncommon Sense: Trauma Interrupted, too will run from April 2 to 30, 2009 at the Pasilyo Vicente Manansala (second floor hallway) and Pasilyo Guillermo Tolentino (third floor hallway), Cultural Center of the Philippines, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City.
