SLab’s smaller gallery 20Square proudly presents new work by artist Bea Camacho in Disconnect The Dots from June 2-June 20, 2009. The mixed media pieces explore spaces of separation through unorthodox maps. The main piece of the show, An analysis of relative distance (Family map, 1983-2009), charts the artist’s family location through the years via a series of boxes which are colored using a color-numbering system.  The colors correspond to the international dial codes of countries—Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, USA, UK, and so on—where they have lived as a family unit, or as individuals.  Rather than attempting to create connections, these works deliberately engage in a process of taking apart and aim to show the “in-between”. As a construct of the disconnection, Camacho will be mounting the other half of the show at Finale Gallery.

Disconnect The Dots will have its opening reception from 4-7pm on June 2, Tuesday at 20Square Gallery. It will run from June 2 to June 20, 2009. Bea Camacho will be giving an artist talk on June 9.

Disconnect The Dots will be shown along with Inner Spaces by Briccio Santos at Silverlens and Balana by Charlie Co at SLab (Silverlens Lab).Visit 20Square at 2/F YMC Bldg.II, 2320 Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati City.
