“TutoKKK: Krisis, Kalunasan… Anong K Mo?”

TutoK Exhibits at Blanc, November to December 2008:
“TutoKKK: Krisis, Kalunasan… Anong K Mo?”
TutoK is about visual artists collaborating for advocacy. In celebration of its third year this 2008, it is holding its annual exhibit at Blanc’s spaces in Mandaluyong and Makati with almost 200 artists contributing new works on the theme of crisis: probing into its metaphors and transmutations as it collectively forms an active stance beyond resistance.

Primarily conceived as a recount of a crisis-laden period, “TutoKKK” is also an invitation towards a more in-depth scrutiny of pressing issues. Crisis marks a point of instability in the same way that it highlights a turning point: we are in a crucial moment where decisions will and have to be made.

Paintings, sculptures, installations and residual performance comprise the initial salvo to be held at the Blanc Compound in Mandaluyong from November 25 to December 10. A flow of wall-bound works in uniform format will dominate the space, interspersed with sculptures and assemblages of objects that overall, will interact with the action and residue of live art performances. The high point will be an Artists’ Reception on Sunday, November 30 with performances and other events starting at 4:00pm. The party will go on till evening with music provided by various bands.

Coming next is an installation of works on paper by the same artists at Blanc Art Space Makati from December 6 to 31. Using various media, but also following a uniform format, these vignettes on crises will also be the basis of an installation/performance that will echo the outcry and ephemera of paper. The exhibit will open on Saturday, December 6 with performance starting at 7:00pm.

“TutoKKK” is presented in partnership with Blanc, and is jointly curated by Noel Soler Cuizon, Buen Calubayan, Jef Carnay, Mark Salvatus and Wesley Valenzuela. TutoK is grateful to PAG-IBiG, Utterly Art, and Mr. Julius Babao for their support.

KAY PABLO GARCIA

“Our Lord Jesus Christ lost in the survey and he was crucified and that’s how we’re going to judge President?”
-Cebu Rep. Pablo Garcia (Kampi)

 

 

 
Akala ko, nakita at nadinig ko na ang lahat ng kabulastugan sa kongreso.
Pero ito at humirit na naman ang isang kuneho.
Mantakin mong ikumpara kay Hesus Kristo ang lola mo?
Naguulyanin na talaga itong si Pablo.

Panahon nang magretiro.

*Pasintabi sa mga kuneho.

Marlon Carmen

Habang tumatagal, narerealize ko kung baket di matanggal-tanggal si Marlon sa Survivor Phils. Kung baket ang mga katulad ni Kiko, Jace, Gigit at ang latest si Vern ang mga unang natanggal.

Isa sa pinaka-demonyong taong napanuod sa tv itong si Marlon, at aminado sha at ang kanyang mga kasama na wala shang kapag-a-pag-asang manalo. At yun ang pinakadahilan kung baket nga sha nasa isla pa.

Hindi naman siya mananalo.

Napakahina niya sa mga challenges. At bagamat sinasakyan, marami pang naiinis sa kanya. Pasimuno man ng mga awayan sa tribo, darating ang oras na makakasanayan na ng mga kalaban nya yung estilo niya. Gaya kagabi, marahil ay di niya inaasahan na hindi babaligtad si nanay Zita. Di umubra yung pandedemonyo niya. Solid ang old Naak na bumoto kay Vern.

At malilimutan ba ang pagtawag niya ng Dead Meat kay nana Zita?

Sa ngayon mainis na lang muna tayo kay Marlon. At antayin siyang bumalik ng Maynila.
