Art of a fragile ecosystem.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Constantino C. Tejero
"OUR concept of art is that you frame it and put it in a museum," says abstractionist Joaquin Palencia. "But in ancient society, art is part of everyday life."
He cites as example the bulol, that wooden figurine of the Cordillera rice god, and continues: "The Cordillerans have no word for art, because it is integrated into their lives. Art is just part of life, it's functional, it's just a spoon, it's just a bulol."
The concept is elucidated in the exhibit "Linckia," ongoing until Sept. 5 in Artlane at the Ayala Museum.
This is the documentation exhibit of the 1st Bagasbas International Eco-Arts Festival held April 21-26 on a beach facing the Pacific Ocean in Bagasbas, Daet, Camarines Norte.
"I had been thinking about this project for a while," says Palencia. "Abstract ako, eh, and I always keep to myself, I don't know many people in the art circle-but at this point I wanted to reach out."
