ARGIE BANDOY KIKO ESCORA NILO ILARDE PARDO DE LEON AT MACULANGAN POW MARTINEZ BERNARDO PACQUING NORBERTO ROLDAN GERARDO TAN RONALD VENTURA MM YU Adobo Country brings together diverse practices in contemporary art from the Philippines. Referenced on a dish that’s neither Spanish, Chinese or American which had made deep impact on Philippine culture, Adobo Country does not intend to posit a discourse on identity politics but merely attempts to represent an aspect of Philippines contemporary art within the context of an expanding audience in the region. The parallelism between each work, in spite of disparities in their forms as a whole, may be a study in contrast which may lead to a sentience of a quiet murmur, or a simmering dish.
