Join us as we explore the nuances of contemporary art in a Guest Lecture series that explores the theme of “Art and Artmaking in the Time of Covid-19.” Organized by students of Art Studies 143 (Contemporary Art), a course being offered by the Department of Art Studies, University of the Philippines Diliman, the series starts 11 May 2021, 2.30-4, with Bridging the Gap (BTG): Views and Voices on an Art Collection, which was produced by the Department of Art Studies, in partnership with the Kalaw-Ledesma Foundation. The BTG Project is a series of recordings by UP Diliman faculty who discuss a work of art from the collection of art patron and UP alumna Purita Kalaw-Ledesma (1914-2005). Gathering viewers from different sensibilities and expertise, the program encourages slow looking, or a prolonged encounter with the work, aiming to exemplify the broad possibilities of viewing art through interdisciplinary lenses.
The group behind the project – Department of Art Studies Faculty Prof. Louise Marcelino, Dr. Robin Rivera, and Mr. Mark Louie Lugue – will share their experiences and insights on conceptualizing and producing the online materials, which are now being used by other teachers of art and related fields beyond the university.
