STEREO 2 by Juan Caguicla and Christina Dy

Silverlens Gallery celebrates MANILART 10 with STEREO 2 by Juan Caguicla and Christina Dy, July 27-31, 2010 at Silverlens
STEREO by Juan Caguicla and Christina Dy continues on July 27 at Silverlens Gallery. As a special extension of the Silverlens Show at MANILART 10 , the Philippines’ second international contemporary art fair to be held from July 30 to August 01 at the SMX Convention Center, Caguicla and Dy join Frankie Callaghan, Leslie de Chavez, Mariano Ching, Chati Coronel, Christina Dy, Wawi Navarozza, Gina Osterloh, Hanna Pettyjohn and Rachel Rillo.
Showcasing the second part of two series marrying Caguicla’s edgy photography and Dy’s large-scale charcoal drawings, Caguicla and Dy present only one image, albeit a very strong one. As in January’s STEREO 1, the two choose their body as their subjects to produce an altogether new and grotesque image. It is indeed “stereoscopic”, as described by mutual friend Raymond De Veyra, the source of the show’s name.
In this show, called STEREO 2, Caguicla and Dy go much further with what they bare and where they connect. And by also going much bigger in scale, STEREO 2 is meant to make an impact. There is a thrill in seeing it for the first time.
Complementing STEREO 2 is their collaboration for Brian Tenorio and Emi Jorge’s design exhibition, Tenorio/Jorge on Fifth Avenue, which ran from April 29 through May 22 in The Philippine Center in New York. “As a backdrop to Tenorio and Jorge’s designs are two of the most-photographed faces in the Philippines, Piolo Pascual and Angel Aquino – both excellent specimens of quintessential Filipino beauty.”* Caguicla photographed Pascual and Aquino while Dy drew on the decorative details. To highlight what is ‘Pinoy’, they thought to put together Pascual and Aquino’s iconic beauty and Catholic iconography.
As in STEREO 2, they lay out imagery that is familiar, full of detail and with perhaps a milieu of metaphors to be found. But the idea behind Caguicla and Dy’s work is not to prescribe, but rather to look with new eyes.
STEREO 2 is shown alongside Beautiful Inside My Head Forever with Martha Atienza, Bea Camacho, Sam Kiyoumarsi and Pow Martinez, curated by Norberto Roldan at SLab; and Sure Sure, Happy Happy, Picture Picture by Maria Jeona at 20SQUARE.
MANILART10 will be at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City from July 30 to August 01,2010. For more information and tickets, please visit www.manilart.com

7 Years of UNO Magazine
UNO is a monthly magazine for the discerning man (and woman). There are features on women we admire, occurrences worth covering, art forms we appreciate, objects that inspire acquisitiveness, and ideas that deserve attention, among other things.
There are also jokes, which may or may not always be in good taste. We value writing and images that are extraordinary. We love women. It is our belife that digital tools should be used to emphasize natural beauty and/or enhance a specific aesthetic– not for turning people into wax models.
Again, we love women.
We think that there’s more to men (and women) than their surfaces.

Do You Want To Fly?

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.”
