Figure-proof: An Online-exclusive Exhibition
Past exhibition
Overview
A+ Works of Art is pleased present ‘Figure-proof’, a group exhibition featuring artworks by Ginoe, Celine Lee, Miguel Puyat, Pam Quinto and Jan Sunday
‘Figure-proof’ is an online-exclusive exhibition presented by A+ Works of Art and curated by Manila-based curator Carlos Quijon, Jr. The exhibition is a proposal to think about figure—both as representation, image and likeness, and also as the figurative: semblance and metaphor. The title references this ambivalence and may mean anticipation and resistance to figuration (as in related words such as “waterproof ” or “future-proof ”), impossibility of recognizing or figuring out, or the evidence or trace of the figure or the figurative
Five young artists from the Philippines respond to this provocation and present ways how the exceptional time of the global pandemic might offer opportunities to reconsider the figure and the figurative in terms of artistic tendencies, materials, and technique
