Join us on May 13, 2:30 PM, for the second installment of our Guest Lecture Series on “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, we focus this time on an artist from Bacolod City, Negros Occidental in the Visayas – Guenivere Decena, a multimedia artist whose works present “the in-betweens, interconnections and the possibilities we can find all around us.”  

Guen, as she is fondly called, is also an organizer and co-organizer of a number of artist-run projects, including AIID (Artist Initiated Interviews and Discussions), an online platform that features local and international artists; and Art Satellite, which organizes and designs art exchanges, collaborations and exhibitions in Bacolod. At present, she also serves as regional curator for VIVA EXCon (Visayas Islands Visual Artists Initiative and Conference), the longest running biennale in the Philippines. 

Learn more about Guen and her practice, on May 13, 2.30-4. Please do not forget to register by clicking the link: http://tinyurl.com/GLSMay13

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.

We are sending out a check-in survey that is intended to gather information about your condition, to aid efforts to plan for adjustments that may be done at the level of the Department and at the level of your classes. All students taking any course offered by the Department, whether majoring in Art Studies or not, are encouraged to accomplish this survey.
