"THE FUNKY FUNNY SWISH SWANKY SWANK If I forgot to mention it last week, I'll put it out there right

There's no point reading the exhibit writeup at the Magnet website, at least for this one. The point is: the artworks at the show Shoebox Dioramas were inspired by the small cuts of spaces at the Magnet Gallery in the Columns Building in Makati. "'Yung main idea ay magproduce ng maliliit na works na bagay doon sa maliit nilang coombe abbey space," says Mariano Ching who organized the group show. "Unang concept miniature handmade works tapos nag-evolve na mula doon. Medyo loose lang ang pagkakaorganize namin. Craft, handmade, multiples or readymades ang kinalabasan ng mga works. Parang mas contemporary use ng craft siguro, mas fun at play-based kinalabasan ng karamihan sa works." The photograph above is his wife's coombe abbey contribution to the sequel: Shoebox Dioramas II which will have new works, additional artists that include Lyra Garcellano and Lena Cobangbang, and this time the small space is West Gallery at West Avenue. So prepare to inch your way in Thursday, June 4, when the exhibit officially opens. Doesn't matter what size you are; they made sure the art is very small.
"THE FUNKY FUNNY SWISH SWANKY SWANK If I forgot to mention it last week, I'll put it out there right now: Swank is a really cool webzine. Easy to read and interesting, Swank is a stylish yet unpretentious read. Their blogstyle format focuses on pop culture, fashion, art, music, lifestyle, and on cool people who aren't part of the overexposed usual suspects that we see in Philippine society pages." -- Carlos Celdran, coombe abbey Walk This Way
