A group exhibit by three artists hailing from 3 different regions in the Philippines- one from Quezon, one from Metro Manila and one from the South. The title comes from the word "tripartite" meaning- composed of 3 parts. The word was modified into 3 separate words that enhanced its meaning- "trip" to mean a journey in artmaking, "ART" which is self explanatory and "tight" meaning a close bonding because of their love for art. |
Team RP Petition for the Philippine Access to Information Law "Secrecy breeds irregularity, fraud, and crime. It allows chicanery, graft, and corruption... A democracy based on ignorance, on misinformation, on conjectures, on suspicion is doomed to fail. The more enlightenment the people have, the more guarantee there is for their success in their collective enterprises, and in the fulfillment of their social aspirations and purposes." -- Justice Gregorio Perfecto
From the de Venecia-Lozada expose, the Hello Garci scandal, and the Spratlys mind-boggler to the North and South Rail questions, events of the recent past clearly highlight how very little we know about the workings of our government, how much difficulty is involved in getting truth to come out and how, albeit fundamental in any republican and democratic state that the government is accountable to the public, we Filipinos are in reality denied direct access to our government institutions and our public servants. As a country that prides itself with democracy, it strikes us with a disquieting reality that we Filipinos have no real access to information to empower us to properly and actively participate in governance.
We in TEAM RP believe that in order for there to be a responsible citizenry that can actively and meaningfully craft the future of the country, there is a need to give teeth to the policy of full public disclosure and the right of the people to be informed as contained in the fundamental law of the land. Moreover, we are aware that if people, especially those who have been bypassed by development, are unaware of laws and procedures for availing themselves of their entitlements or of mechanisms they can use to remedy their plight, then they will always remain poor.
Let us call on our lawmakers to make top priority the passage of a Philippine Access to Information Law which, subject to reasonable and clearly outlined conditions, ensures unfettered access of the people to information of public concern, including government transactions involving public interest.
We urge our lawmakers, let us not delay this any further.
If you support our petition and call for the passage of a Philippine Access to Information Law, you can join and help us in any of the following ways:
a.) Sign our petition online by emailing "I Support the Campaign for a Philippine Access to Information Law" together with your complete name and contact information to team.rp.pail@gmail.com
b.) Forward our statement to your friends and post it in your website, blog, friendster, multiply or facebook account for all your friends to read. c.) Volunteer for our campaign and help us get more Filipinos to sign our petition. If you want to volunteer and help, you can email Karen Naranjo at k_ren_naranjo@yahoo.com or you can send her a text message at 0918-9183685. We will send you copies of our petition so you can also help gather signatures in your school, office or organization.

MANILA, Philippines - Salvador Convocar combines figuration and abstraction with his characteristic bravura in “Characters, Creatures and Critters” March 3-14 at 1/of Gallery, Serendra, Bonifacio Global City (tel. 9013152).
The show exhibits once again Convocar’s singular mastery of mixed media. Influenced by Louise Nevelson, Convocar’s works are really mixed-media-on-canvas approximations of the Russian-American’s sculptures.
Grid-like and multilayered, with rich forms emerging and overlapping in what appears like a geometrical quilt, Nevelson’s works are intensely felt explorations of space and sites. They seem a miniature world with its complex of flora and fauna, widths and walls.
Convocar’s works expand the space and are less constricted in composition. His colors are an industrial wash and a metallic rust, midway between monochrome and polychrome. Nevelson’s works call attention to their structure, Convocar’s to their “made-up-ness.”
But instead of Nevelson’s seeming cold detachment, a mask for her intensity, Convocar is unflaggingly engaged, almost childlike. His canvases are filled with human figures that are part whimsical, part enigmatic, framed by color washes and archaic symbols and patterns.
In his new series, the figures have become cartoonish, the colors not so much industrial as pastoral.
The naturalist streak seems evident in the subjects: birds with their wings graphically sketched like metal parts and wires, horses with their flanks and hooves like metal braces.
It is easy to see that Convocar is trying to strike a balance between the natural and the mechanical. He appears to betray the artist’s inexorable bent toward the romantic.
The new tendency may be wishful thinking since even nature has to suffer from climate change and other excesses of manufacturing overdrive and industrial pollution. Can the artist’s romantic spirit save the day for nature?
Convocar in his works insists that the artist’s calling and mission remain valid. The artist will forever paint natural landscapes, even if such are already tainted by industrial fallout. The spirit of the artist lives on, come postmodern hell or high water.
