Glass Feathers and Slow Education

It was a dark exhibit weekend (due to Earth Hour hehe), Glass Feathers by Acid House @ Pablo Fort and Slow Education by Louie Cordero @ Mo Space both at Bonifacio High Street.

The Acid House is a small, Manila-based team of artists that create various concoctions of static and moving imagery. The studio have been creating commercial work for the broadcast and advertising industries since 2005. The Acid House is headed by Ivan Despi and Pauline Vicencio.

AYALA MUSEUM’S DESIGN TALKS: Everywhere We Shoot

AYALA MUSEUM’S DESIGN TALKS: Everywhere We Shoot

Ayala Museum’s DesignTalks is a lecture series that brings prominent and pioneering Filipino creative professionals to the center stage. Lined up for this April is the creative duo who call themselves Everywhere We Shoot, scheduled to talk on 16 April 2011, 3:00 pm at the Ayala Museum Ground Floor Lobby, and whose works will also be on exhibit at the Third Floor Glasslane starting on the day of the talk.

Composed of Ryan Vergara and Garovs Garrovillo, their moniker is not just the duo’s name but also a statement of intent, a manifesto of sorts in praise of the ambulant imagination. They both trained at the De La Salle-College of St. Benilde’s School of Design & Arts (Ryan was a Multimedia Arts major while Garovs was in Fashion Design and Merchandising).

Their work has appeared in almost every major magazine in the country as well as a number of publications abroad. They’ve also done commissions to do brand campaigns, record sleeves, and lookbooks for top Filipino designers.

They’ve established an inimitable style of art through photography, fashion, and graphic design—characteristically ironic and playful and always with a hint of humor. They simplify the complicated, and exaggerate the basics. The success of their partnership is that they create images that refuse to stay put.

Tickets are sold for Php 300 regular rate, and discounted at Php 150 for students, teachers, senior citizens and Ayala Museum members.

For inquiries, call 757.7117 to 21 or email museum_inquiry@ayalafoundation.org. Ayala Museum is located at Makati Avenue corner De la Rosa Street, Greenbelt Park, Makati City.
