The Lark Gallery Takes Wing Starting This June 11, 2010
“I love the gallery, the arena of representation,” Jeff Koons once said. UNO would like to announce the opening of a new arena of representation — a new venue for the arts and the imagination.
Lark Gallery opens with its debut exhibit, “Do You Want to Fly,” a tribute to Ramon “Jun” Katigbak commemorating his birth anniversary.
The theme is flight and all variations thereof, the late Ramon Katigbak being a maker, tinkerer, and obsessive builder and flyer of model airplanes. Paintings by Grace Katigbak and Teodoro Katigbak. Sculptures by Andrea Katigbak and Dondi Katigbak. Photography by Gabby Lacuesta. Poetry by Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta. (Yes, it is practically a congregation of artistically-inclined Katigbaks — and yes, they are related to our esteemed Editor-at-Large, Luis Katigbak).
The address of Lark Gallery is 45A Broadway Street, New Manila; the opening is on June 11, 2010 at 6 PM. We would love to see you there.
Here is an excerpt from one of the featured works, a poem by acclaimed, award-winning writer (and UNO contributor) Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta.
Here I am, father,
looking out at the low
suburban gables on Norman St.,
Outside it’s never dark:
clear sky lit not by stars
but news of stars, a shining
lapse as wide and far
as years. In Portugese,
saudade means “longing for
a person who has been lost.”
Meaning, “to know
the beloved will never return.”
