Bliss Market at Vargas Museum in UP

The UP Vargas Museum presents Bliss Market: Exchange in Time | Space of Transience.  Perhaps in homage, or plain remembrance, of UP Bliss.  

Remember how it was once a landmark housing project upon entering the majestic avenue leading to the Oblation?


The exhibit brings the community face-to-face with its (fading) glory.


It may be a call to arms:  let's sustain what UP Bliss was constucted to be.  And that is housing. Provide homes.    But we're talking about the Bliss Market - and the transient, rushing, non-reflecting bustle of human activity.  Activity, human.. no matter how fleeting is an exchange. 


The Bliss Market exhibit may be nostalgia stylized.  But nostalgia, nonetheless.
