No Sense in Hiding (Material Gain)

These are but random babblings....

My cover's blown. what else is there to do but expose myself? but so what? Just for a few mysterious text messages from some creepy hound - I sure hope they have a life.

But since that unveiling shall I write about the recent CCP show? In a few words - maybe ....

1) There's actually a good mix of art involved from your usual SR paintings to conceptually pedigreed objects, otherwise readymade or just so touched by hand, to pristine craftness to downright lowbrow... although a bit tweaking of the layout would have enhanced even more the viewing of the other works especially those of Valdezco's (if not laid out like a museum tableau or if some of her objects were actually scattered on the floor), Coquilla's (if not cramped in a corner wall) and even that of Ching's (if his objects would have been more or laid out more organically or laid out on a lighter surface). Oh well, it was the exhibit designer's prerogative but what if.........

2) This may be faulted as well to the main gallery's very structure which is very awkwardly rigid - which lends any and every exhibit a "tiangge" look with those alcoves. And an entrance foyer with a lost post in the middle blocking a part of the wall. When will they ever renovate that space and update it once and for all? Like totally tear down the wall separating the entrance foyer to the main hall, make the walls in the main hall forming the alcoves be moveable panels instead, and make the ceiling higher. S. as an architect should know ....maybe, maybe not.

3)The heck the times we go to this place can be counted in one hand, why bother....but then......

4) Postponements diminished the alcohol. Or is this intentional to give business to the bars lining the bayside?

5) Being drunk is enough and being a couple of wads richer, of course.

6) I should add Lyra to my list of pinoy idol painters

7) Therefore, I should try painting again.

8) Why not? Maybe in a bigger studio - but when will that time comes when we can move to a bigger place?The table should suffice, the cabs would accommodate whatever comes out of the desktop. I should be happy with such arrangement.

9) A simpler life is what we're all aiming for...but as an artist?

10) A bottle at hand, a check on the other is how simple it is.
