EMERGENCE Exhibit at Ayala Museum

11/10/06: More than a photographer or a businessman, Jaime Zobel is a thinker. He poses questions that challenge the mundane and then sets out to look for answers, or as often is the case, to create a solution. This time around, he asked a group of young artists: How does one bring art into a life of routine? EMERGENCE is photographer Jaime Zobel, interior designer Wilmer Lopez, figurative sculptor Jordan Mendoza and conceptual sculptor Reg Yuson, merging visions and artistic sensibilities to create living spaces infused with imagination. Zobel’s photography sets the standard, anchors the tone in the spaces. The original creations of Lopez, Mendoza and Yuson interplay, mesh, and connect with the artistic and emotional resonance that Zobel’s photography establishes. Swiss sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti once said, “The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.” In this case, EMERGENCE constructs a reality where aesthetic meets practicality and temper meets logic, and where a life of routine is a thing of the past.

Home

09/20/06: It is ironic that just a couple of hours after taking the photograph of jubilant children (below) when they learned that Gawad Kalinga will build them new homes, I saw this fire on my way back to Makati City. From EDSA in Makati City, it looked huge and near only to find out that it was located somewhere in Sta. Ana, Manila. About P5 million worth of properties were reported gutted in that fire along the river bank. (Photograph: Voltaire Domingo / NPPA Images)
