As human cognition embraces spatiality as the greatest feature of its basic mental model, “Mental Space”—a curated show by Dexter Sy—attempts to begin a discourse that enables the viewers to activate their mental spaces through abstraction and justify the abstraction reflected from one’s mind to its tactile representation in the physical world. The works vary from strokes fluid as thoughts in actualization, edges defined and delineated as words in discourse, to everything in between forged in shapes and colors that may or may not invoke meaning to its form.

Much like one’s thoughts, mental space cannot belong to or be created by someone else other than its owner. In “Mental Space,” Rowshan Begum, Melvin Culaba, Sal Ponce Enrile, Fiona Helena, Niño Hernandez, Meghan Hildebrand, Camille Quintos, Luis Lopa, Marlon Magbanua, JP Pining, and Valen Valero manipulate spatiality giving carte blanche to its audience such as creating meaning for works that as tactile as it is abstracted by the inner workings of the human mind.

“Mental Space” opens on August 14, 2019, 6 pm and will be on view at Galerie Stephanie until August 28, 2019. For inquiries, kindly email inquiry.galeriestephanie@gmail.com or call (02)940-5726.
