Primarily in the index page, the presence of widgetized information at the footer (see below) and the introduction of non flash based portfolios. However, this is still far from finished. Just hang on a little more and sight will be fully revamped in the soonest possible time.

From the series, "Looking for Mr. Vhoy"

Nothing to Declare poster for the Blanc Compound Exhibit which is the first of three venues to open. CLICK TO ENLARGE

The first part of the Nothing to Declare International Contemporary Art Exhibition opened at the Blanc Compound in Mandaluyong last 18 October where my photographic work, Looking for Mr. Vhoy is included. This work is specifically done for this event.

My series is a tribute to my father, an attempt to paint a portrait of him through images consisting of three parts:

  • photographs from the family album
  • photographs made of his things
  • photographs, that for me represents my father

The work is presented in an unusual manner, considering space limitations and concept of the work, not in the usual print and hang but combination of virtual and album which, I can proudly say, my first installation work!

Artist talk will be on 27 October at the Blanc Compound, starting at 2PM with two other artists.

Nothing to Declare International Contemporary Art Exhibition
Blanc Compound
359 Shaw Blvd.
Mandaluyong City
18 October – 12 November 2011
