too much to say: part 1 museum exhibits

too much tv. too much activity. too much to do. too little time. where have all the family and friends gone. left with a handful (those that matter). left with workmates. not all too bad.

stuff that has happened since:


ayala museum: tabuena retro. fernando zobel 1950s collection. a beautiful place. the zobel retro is ongoing. check it out! the zobel image is not allowed. i took it before i was politely told not to. i will take it down when i am told to. the tabuena images are legit.


pete jimenez's if the shoe fits. pete jimenez is humble. never would have thought of him as an artist. optima head honcho! sculptor extraordinaire. exhibit ongoing at yuchengco museum at the rcbc. it's gonna get your heels tapping. i wrote a piece on it. check out link:http://www.adobomagazine.com/global/module.php?LM=news.level1&id=1243931107304

the best perks that come with the job

had a magnificent morning last tuesday at the ayala museum. czek and i spent hours shooting toto sicangco's authentic costumes for the plexiglass slipper. moved to tears, we were, too. out of the display glass and underneath our adoring fingertips, toto's costume pieces were exquisite! it was overwhelming..

greenbelt

from the dark, gloomy and clandestine lovers' lane of the 80s to the gloss, glitz and glamour of the new century, greenbelt is a godsend. unfenced and sans gate, the park hosts residences, specialty shops, a supermarket, a deli, restaurants, coffee shops, a comedy club, a videoke bar, convenience shops, a drugstore and beauty bar, a music shop, a museum, (a chapel), a bookstore, a photo shop, a pond with fish and mallard ducks, fountains, gardens, a performance stage, hotels, B&Bs, clean bathrooms - did i miss anything? oh, yes, and a convenient, covered and safe walkway from the office to the train station.
what else can a weary work-rat ask for?

fine IX - tie no. 1 scenography in toto

grand scale production designs are his forte. this ilonggo-pinoy in new york expresses incredible vision, meticulous art and exquisite craft. eduardo 'toto' varela sicangco, with all his achievements, is unbelievably salt of the earth. far less talented and accomplished individuals have glorified themselves tenfold a tad bit too early. think jay. (you know what i mean, don't you naomi? LOL)
visit his exhibit at the ayala museum. (oh, the museum is closed on mondays.)
i am so honored to have met this robust, ingenious artist!
