Alliance Française de Manille presents the exhibition entitled Considerata, a group show featuring the following artists:

Assemblage 1, Mark Bautista, Ninel Constantino, Benjie Cabangis, Cesar Caballero, Fitz Herrera, Chachu Lascano, Rico Lascano, Lenore Lim, Dan Matutina, Abe Orobia, Paul Quiano, Jay Ragma, Cid Reyes, Mitzi Reyes, Eghai Roxas, and Tof Zapanta.

The exhibition will run from March 2, 2019 until March 30, 2019, at the Alliance Française de Manille Gallery.

Inspired by the famous poem of Max Ehrmann, “Desiderata,” that seeks to suggest a way of life that uplifts us to noblest and most transformative possibilities, Maria Isabel Garcia, a most learned woman of science, who is the Curator of the Mind Museum and serves as Managing Director of the Bonifacio Art Foundation, has authored a series of poems entitled “Considerata I to VII.” Using the language of science, these poems call attention to our place in the universe. It visualizes our physical insignificance in the awesome entirety of space and yet convinces us of the quintessential effect, human kind can initiate, if we but harness the unlimited potential of the human spirit.

The message is most relevant and meaningful in these times where the noise of technology has numbered and derailed us from finding the authenticity of our inner selves. This is why we are gathering a group of artists and designers to create their visual interpretation or commentary on particular verses of the “Considerata” series. The exhibit will be a spiritual communion of science and art; a visual exercise towards re-awakening our essence; a wake up call to find our true significance in the still on-going cycle of Creation.

Opening on Friday March 1, 2019 at the Alliance Francaise the Manille Gallery at 6:30pm.

Opening reception will be in the presence of
H.E. Nicolas Galey, Ambassador of France to the Philippines, Ambassador Cristina Ortega, President of Alliance Francaise de Manille and Mr Fernando Zobel de Ayala.
