Christina Quisumbing Ramilo / Verses Reverse

Mawen Ong / Coming Into the Nearness of Distance

Veronica Peralejo / even empty space is curved

Oct 13 – Nov 10 2018

The Alley at Karrivin, 2316 Chino Roces Ave. Ext., Makati

OPENING RECEPTION

Oct 13 2018, 6PM

Artinformal presents three new solo exhibitions by Christina Quisumbing Ramilo, Mawen Ong, and Veronica Peralejo at the gallery’s Makati location opening on Oct 13, 2018, 6pm. The shows will be on view until Nov 10, 2018.

Verses Reverse by Christina Quisumbing Ramilo speak of futility, a general sense of disconnect, and how the power/danger of speech and oral tradition that is referenced in biblical texts resonate with the present milieu.

Mawen Ong’s Coming into the Nearness of Distance is a journey towards a clearing space, a ‘field of awareness’. By layering and repeating images of her subject, she opens up a space where everything can be gathered and returned to its origin.

In even empty space is curved, Veronica Peralejo is showing a new series of objects as sculpture interpretations of the theory that the space-time fabric holds the universe together.
