Public presentation [all in November]- Exhibit/Performance

Curatorial notesThe theme for Transi(en)t Manila is art+technology, heritage & people. These are three disparate actors in the present urban society. Putting them as theme of Transi(en)t Manila hypothesized that there exists a system of confluence between people, technology and heritage.
Artists involved in the project are required to create site-specific works employing a technology of their choice (mechanical, electronic, digital, etc.). Site-specificity in this case is defined in two threads: (1) the work has to be built specifically to fit, work with, enhance, challenge the spaces in Escolta St., Sta. Cruz; and (2) the work has to explore, reflect, react to the history, condition, image of Escolta as a heritage district.
Artists are given 13 days to build his/her project. The site chosen will continue to hold its regular function during the time of installation ad production. On the one hand, this will allow artists to clearly understand how the site actually operates. On the other, this will give the park guests a rare experience in attending an “open studio” and to watch new media artists at work.
There are three expectations on the artists projects: (1) it has to betechnologically-telling, which means that it would allow audience to recognize the technology that was used to built the work and how it adapts to the heritage site; (2) it is culturally relatable/adaptable, which means that the culture of the artists and that of the audience is reflected on the work; (3) it is aesthetically inclusive, which means that the work should consider different aesthetic competencies of a diverse audience, as broad as something called “general public”.
Dates: residencies are spread-out within 2014 starting end of April until November
