As we hit Alert Level 1 in Metro Manila, we are all a mixture of half-free and half-cautious. So it only makes sense that Art Fair Philippines 2022 would be a mix as well. It’s what AFP organizers Trickie Lopa, Lisa Periquet, and Dindin Araneta call a “hybrid,” with a blend of live-space events, digital pop-ups, and an AFP website that also serves as a hub for scheduling events, talks, and gallery visits.
With #ArtFairPH returning to an in-person exhibition, the roster for ArtFairPH/Projects is now provided an exciting venue at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati City to showcase new works made especially for the annual event.

The Untold Story of 2678 Years of Collecting with Paco Barragán – From Warriors, Philanthropists, and Maecenas, to Connoisseurs, Aficionados, and Cosmopolites
Friday, March 25 | 07:00 PM – 08:30 PM
What precisely makes a great collector? Is it knowledge? Is it vision? Money? Passion? Or is it his reputation? What does 2678 years of collecting tell us? Are there specific typologies that represent the successful collector per se? And what can we say about the nature of successful collections? Is there a magic formula or a specific curatorial strategy that guarantees success where others fail?
In “The Untold Story of 2678 Years of Collecting with Paco Barragán – From Warriors, Philanthropists, and Maecenas, to Connoisseurs, Aficionados, and Cosmopolites”, we will review together the fascinating and untold story of 2678 years of collecting and point out who were the successful collectors and what made them stand out. And we will also analyze case studies of booming collections and the curatorial strategy behind that successfully provided more visibility and social acknowledgement to the collector. Whether you’re an artist or an artistic agent, this knowledge will allow you to have more sophisticated and productive relationship with collectors.

Moderated by Malaya del Rosario
Alain Camiling, Dindin Araneta, Katya Guerrero, Aniceto Sobrepeña, Jack Charlesworth, and Mercedes Vargas
British Council Philippines
In the Philippines, despite millions of pesos worth of support from the private sector, funding for arts and culture is often deemed insufficient. There has been no formal research on the state and history of arts and culture philanthropy in the Philippines in the private sector – until now. This talk launches the much awaited study commissioned by the British Council on Arts and culture philanthropy in the Philippines – trends, perspectives and opportunities.
The World According to Nune: A Discussion on the Life and Work of Nunelucio Alvarado
Sunday, March 27 | 07:00 PM – 08:30 PM
Moderated by Carlomar Daoana
Norman Crisologo, Charlie Co, Karen Ocampo Flores, and Candy Nagrampa
Nunelucio Alvarado, who lives Sagay City, Negros Occidental, is considered as one of the grand old men of Negrense visual arts. Coming of age during the Martial Law, he was the main chronicler of the life of the sacadas, the contractual sugarcane workers whose plight encapsulated the height of oppression and social injustice in the 1970s. During the ‘90s, Alvarado became one of the most successful artists, winning the Philippine Art Awards twice and exhibiting in important art institutions and festivals. Recently, he was featured in a documentary, Kalibutan ni Nunelucio Alvarado (The World of Nunelucio Alvarado), by the artist’s daughter-in-law, Candy Nagrampa.
In this talk, moderated by Carlomar Daoana, Norman Crisologo, Candy Nangrampa, Karen Flores, and Charlie Co will talk about the importance of Negros as the context of Alvarado’s works, his notable contributions to Social Realism, as well as his lasting influence to a generation of artists.
Regional Focus: Forms of Intervention, Interventions in Form
Monday, March 28 | 01:00 PM – 02:30 PM
Moderated by Leslie de Chavez
Rosa Zerrudo and Angela Silva
Forms of Intervention, Interventions in Form looks into the distinct art practices of artists Rosa Zerrudo and Angela Silva.
Known for her socially-engaged art projects, Rosa Zerrudo interweaves existing artistic traditions, rituals, and diverse processes through contextual exchange, cultural interventions, and participation to navigate ideas relating to trauma, healing, biodiversity, heritage preservation, and community.
Angela Silva, on the other hand, hauls, invents, and reinvents historical narratives, associations, representations, and nuances, embedded in both image-making and meaning-making in the traditions of photography. Intertwining printmaking, cyanotype (camera-less photography), and mixed-media collage techniques, Silva explores ideas relating to identity, memory, time, and place to conjure layered nuances and meanings.
Inventing Quotidian Monsters: Bjorn Calleja/Doktor Karayom/Ryan Jara/Wyndelle Remonde: A Conversation with Carlomar Daoana and Norman Crisologo
Monday, March 28 | 04:00 PM – 05:30 PM
Moderated by Carlomar Daoana
From this crop of artists featured in the Special Exhibitions, a commonality of styles and themes emerges—from the expressive dynamism in their works to the distortions of human figures to the unstinting commitment of portraying the “ugly.” Does inventing quotidian monsters a nascent trend, or has it been there along? What are their shared affinities and aspirations? How does technology aid the creation of their works? Amid the chaos and uncertainty in the world, what ideas do they hope that their works to contribute?
Norman Crisologo and Carlomar Daoana will converse with Bjorn Calleja, Doktor Karayom, Ryan Jara, and Wyndelle Remonde on their creative strategies, their common influences, as well as their radical figurations that constitute some of the most striking images in Philippine visual arts.
Why Are Some Artists Successful and Others Are Not with Paco Barragán – Practical Strategies for you to Showcase Your Artwork
Tuesday, March 29 | 07:00 PM – 08:30 PM
What precisely makes a good artist? Why does an artist succeed where others fail? Is there a particular formula? Is it talent? Maybe money? Passion? His ability to construct a social network? Being at the right place at the right moment? Or simply his working capacity as Picasso would have argued? In other words: what do some artists do correct and what do others do wrong?
In the seminar WHY ARE SOME ARTISTS SUCCESSFUL WHILE OTHERS ARE NOT? PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR YOU TO SHOWCASE YOUR ARTWORK we will highlight specific examples of how artists successfully drew attention to their artwork and were able to set up a fruitful network. We will look particularly at a series of “infiltration” and “DIY strategies” that will help you gain more visibility through some concrete examples that will allow you to develop your own strategies with view to the establishment of a fruitful network of personal relationships. Likewise, we will address the most common errors that artists make in the artworld and how to develop successful soft selling ideas. There are many ways of accessing the art system and each artist must elaborate those strategies that fit best with his artwork and his personality. It’s time to analyze and revitalize yours!
