Introduction Curatorial Statement Global political, economic, and cultural shifts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries have resulted in the strong emergence of alternative art spaces and projects initiated by artists across the Asian region. Parallel to globalization is the sudden interest in art outside Western art capitals and the subsequent remapping of the artworld and the rewriting of multiple art histories. In the last two decades, against a backdrop of rapid economic growth and increased mobility and communication, artist-run spaces in the Philippines and other parts of Asia have provided the necessary platform for artists to assert their identity, address local needs and subjectivities while creating avenues for global dialogue and exchange. Community, crossover, collaboration, and connectivity, which are integral aspects of artist-run culture have become keywords in the expanding discourse around contemporary art today. In the Philippines, artist-run spaces have long played a vital role in the history of modern and contemporary art. In the 1930s, the early Moderns led by Victorio Edades opened up their atelier in Manila and introduced a new style of painting that challenged the classical figuration that was in vogue in the country at the beginning of the 20th century. After the second world war, formal associations of artists and art galleries were established such as the Art Association of the Philippines (AAP) founded by Purita Kalaw Ledesma and Lyd Arguilla’s Philippine Art Gallery (PAG) both of which served as critical spaces for the development of modern art in the Philippines in the 50s. Luz Gallery, which was opened in the early 60s by artist Arturo Luz, was also a significant venue for modern art and a successful model for Philippine artist-owned galleries in the coming decades. Luz would also play a pivotal role in the formation of several national cultural institutions under the patronage of the Marcos government in the 60s and 70s including the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), Museum of Philippine Art (MOPA), and the Metropolitan Museum of Manila (MET).

Introduction The beginnings of contemporary art were felt in the late 60s and early 70s, amid mounting political tensions and growing counterculture movements across the country. Artists started opening cafes and alternative venues to show their works, challenging institutional agendas and conventional forms of art.
Artist Roberto Chabet led the questioning of modernist aesthetics and values not only through his conceptualist works but also through his work as a curator and teacher. As founding museum director of the CCP, he set the stage for experimentation and supported art, which was marked by “a recentness and a turning away from the past.�. After his brief position at the CCP, he organized Shop 6, an alternative space, which mounted a barrage of experimental exhibitions, installations, interventions, and happenings during the Martial Law years. He also began teaching at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts (UPCFA) in the 70s, where he mentored several generations of young artists. From the 70s until his passing in 2013, he actively supported his students, curating numerous exhibitions featuring their works at various galleries, museums and art spaces. He also guided several of his students and other artists who opened up their own spaces, including Pinaglabanan Galleries, West Gallery, Surrounded By Water, Big Sky Mind, Green Papaya Art Projects, Future Prospects, Magnet Gallery, and MO_Space. Most of these spaces are no longer active but they have all greatly contributed to the shaping of contemporary art practice in the Philippines.

Many issues raised by these artist-run spaces remain relevant today as Filipino artists continue to negotiate and claim their place in the global contemporary art scene. The new generation of Philippine artist run spaces builds on the frameworks set forth by previous spaces while responding to present conditions necessitated simultaneously by both local and international currents. The resilience of artist-run spaces and independent art initiatives, alongside the phenomenal growth of new art markets and cultural industries in the region, have become instrumental in the nurturing of contemporary art in the last decade, enabling artists to forge alternative ways to navigate the complexities of the past and present and chart potential trajectories for the future.12
Marker: The Philippines Marker 2016 highlights artist-run spaces from Metro Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Artist-run spaces have long been vital spaces for the development of contemporary art, allowing artists to create and present works outside the conventional frameworks of museums and commercial galleries. Marker 2016 pays tribute to Roberto Chabet, a pioneering Filipino conceptual artist, teacher, and curator who played an active role in several artistrun spaces in the Philippines from the 1970s until his passing in 2013. The exhibition will feature one of his plywood installations alongside works by young and emerging Filipino artists from artist-run spaces currently active in the city - 98B, Post Gallery, Project 20 and Thousandfold. Marker 2016 includes photographs, videos, paintings, soft sculptures, works on paper, and textiles by Mark Barretto, Tammy David, Jed Escueta, Miguel Lope Inumerable, Gino Javier, IC Jaucian, Czar Kristoff,

Marker 2016 pays tribute to Roberto Chabet (1937 – 2013), a pioneering Filipino conceptual artist, curator and teacher of the postwar generation. Chabet laid the foundations of contemporary art in the Philippines with his experimental works that critiqued the rigid conventions of Modernism. Using readymades, found objects and other everyday common materials, he asserted a practice that is based on “the ephemeral, the fugitive, and the contingent” in art. He is the recipient of several awards including the 1972 Republic Cultural Heritage Award, the 1972 Araw ng Maynila Award for the Visual Arts and the 1998 Centennial Honor for the Arts. He was posthumously awarded the Gawad CCP Para Sa Sining in 2015. Chabet held his first solo exhibition at the Luz Gallery in 1961, the same year he finished his studies in Architecture at the University of Santo Tomas. He was the founding museum director of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) where he initiated the Thirteen Artists, the highest national award given to young artists whose works showed “a recentness, a turning away from the past.” The award continues to be presented today and serves as an important marker for Philippine contemporary art. After his brief po-

sition at the CCP, Chabet led the conceptual art group Shop 6 in the 1970s and started teaching at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts. He taught for over thirty years and mentored several generations of young Filipino artists, many of whom are among the most active and acclaimed artists in the Philippine art scene today. He curated numerous vanguard exhibitions mostly of his students at various museums, galleries and art spaces in Manila. He also supported numerous artist-run spaces, including Pinaglabanan Galleries, Surrounded By Water, Big Sky Mind, Future Prospects, Green Papaya Art Projects, Magnet Gallery, and MO_Space throughout his iifetime. A year-long retrospective of his work Chabet: 50 Years was organized by King Kong Art Projects Unlimited, an organization founded by his students, in collaboration with museums and galleries in Manila, Singapore and Hong Kong from 2011 to 2012. A comprehensive monograph of his work was also recently published by King Kong Art Projects Unlimited in 2015.

Represented Artists Jed Escueta (b. 1981) studied at the University of the Philippines – College of Fine Arts and has been working exclusively with photography since 1999. His photographs are described as diaristic, ominous, and habitual. They are raw, playful snapshots of people and underground events as well as abstracted infinities from psychedelic induced moments. His works have been shown in various artist-run spaces and galleries including Big Sky Mind, Green Papaya Art Projects, MO_Space, Manila Contemporary, Light and Space, and Post Gallery. Jayson Oliveria (b.1973) applies end game strategies for making paintings and incorporates objects or sculptural elements to betray its uniformity. Like most works that straddle along the discourse of the end of art, the works have an internal logic to them that only the artist could explain – if it can be teased at all. Rather, there is a sense of gamesmanship and perhaps, dandyism where the artist knows all the contradictions within the work while displaying a keen taste for the obsolescence of style. Oliveria was one of the founding members of the artist collective Surrounded By Water in the late 1990s and part of the first batch of resident artists of Big Sky Mind. He is a recipient of the CCP Thirteen Artist Award in 2006 and the Ateneo Art Awards in 2004. He has exhibited extensively in the Philippines and participated in international exhibitions in Indonesia, London, Australia, Hong Kong, USA, Austria, France, Germany, and China. He was also part of the touring exhibition Bastards of Misrepresentation curated by artist Manuel Ocampo.

Cesar Legaspi: The Brave Modern Cesar Legaspi (1917-1994) is one of the major artists in the history of Modernism in the Philippines. He was part of the Thirteen Artists, a group led by Victorio Edades, and later became identified as one of the postwar Neo-Realists. He was proclaimed National Artist in 1990.

He is known for his "fragmented pictorial style, intense color, and stark social commentary". This accompanying catalog to his exhibition at the Ayala Museum includes his early Cubist works from the pre-war period; to the Neo-Realist works in the 1950s and 1960s; and select large-scale works from the 1970s to the 1980s.

Hunt & Gather, Terraria A multi-tiered project that combines photography, installation, public collaboration, research, publication, and gardening by Wawi Navarroza. For this project, the artist invited urban and peri-urban dwellers of Metro Manila to forage plants and soil from meaningful and monumental—as well as unexpected and in-between—locations in the city. Collected samples were cataloged, assembled within glass terrariums, and photographed by the artist. This communal project built an abstract city map from a psychogeographical sample set of ninety-nine corners of Metropolitan Manila (and one peripheral place). More than just a collection of aesthetic images, the book also presents a quasi-academic effort to comprehend urban landscapes through scientific methodology and the prism of subjective experience.

Protest/Revolutionary Art in the Philippines 1970-1990 Alice Guillermo's 'Protest/Revolutionary Art in the Philippines 1970-1990' is the result of two decades of research and association with the social realists and other protest and revolutionary artists.

The Decolonized Eye: Filipino American Art and Performance In this book, Sarita Echavez See shows how Filipino American artists have engaged with the complex aftermath of U.S. colonialism in the Philippines. By analyzing art, performance, and visual culture, 'The Decolonized Eye' illuminates the unexpected consequences of America’s amnesia over its imperial history. Focusing on artists working in New York and California, See examines the overlapping artistic and aesthetic practices and concerns of Angel Shaw, Manuel Ocampo, Paul Pfeiffer, Rex Navarrete, Nicky Paraiso, and Reanne Estrada to explain the reasons for their strangely shadowy presence in American culture and scholarship. Offering an interpretation of their creations that accounts for their queer, decolonizing strategies of camp, mimesis, and humor, See reveals the conditions of possibility that constitute this contemporary archive.

Constituting three generations of painters, the Mabini art movement traces its origin to the ‘Amorsolo School’, a style of painting associated with the realism of Fernando Amorsolo (1892-1972), in contrast with the modernism espoused by Victorio Edades (1895-1985). Included in the catalog are short biographies and pictures of painters associated with the movement. Publisher: Cultural Center of the Philippines, 2013
