These are weeks that bring us on the brink of change. Whether this transition translates into transformation is hardly the question anymore. Elections are deemed as another exercise in a conflux of signs and signifiers, wherein we gesture a functional democracy through a process of campaigns, equal opportunity and symbols of the individual’s power to decide. It is both a gamble and a game: to take hold of these names, numbers and be able to place them in positions and domains.

SIGNOS signifies portents and omens: images and manifestations of what is to come. What could take place as one may imagine or wish for through symbols of specific constructs. On the brink of passage, or afloat in stasis, these are signs that could just be telling us what to think, what to do, and where to go.

Galerie Anna co-presents with slash/art artists’ initiatives the group exhibit “SIGNOS: Signs, Streams and Signals” featuring new works in various media by Con Cabrera, Buen Calubayan, Joey Cobcobo, Marika B. Constantino, Don Djerassi Dalmacio, Karen Ocampo Flores, Lotsu Manes, Emil Mercado, J Pacena II, Mervin Pimentel, Christina Quisumbing Ramilo, Iggy Rodriguez, Kirby Roxas, Don M. Salubayba, Mark Salvatus, Art Sanchez, Mimi Tecson, Teta Tulay, Wesley Valenzuela and Kalye Collective (Dennis Atienza, Robert Besana, Alvin Cristobal, Alfredo Esquillo, Kirby Roxas and Archie Ruga). SIGNOS also features live art performances by Jef Carnay, Kaye O’ Yek and Jepren Solis on its opening night.

The exhibit opens at the Megamall Art Center on April 23, 2010 at 6:00pm and will be on view daily mall hours until May 9, 2010.
