Painting as Something and as the Opposite of Something
by Nilo Ilarde
July 9 - August 2, 2010
Tall Gallery, Finale Art File
Warehouse 17, La Fuerza Compound
On view at the Tall Gallery is Nilo Ilarde’s “Painting as Something and as the Opposite of Something.” As one of the country’s eminent curators, Ilarde rotates the infinite possibilities of scale and directly engages with the gallery’s enormous space. His found objects (a flattened car, an undulating wall of emptied paint tubes) are monuments of waste and destruction, renegotiating their newfound purpose now that they are situated within the transfiguring walls of a gallery.

Heads Will Roll
bY PAULO VINLUAN
July 9 - August 2, 2010
Upstairs Gallery, Finale Art File
Warehouse 17, La Fuerza Compound
Located at the Upstairs Gallery, “Heads Will Roll” by Paulo Vinluan once again showcases the artist’s strong graphic imagination, with his figures (concatenation of humans and animals and other surreal components) unique to the world he has created: a vortex of geometric shapes, drips and hallucinatory swirls. More than pieces of psychedelia, his works are characterized by a satirical tone; the figures are allegorical creations for existential failures and degradations. For this specific exhibit, the artist unlocks the notion of power, not merely as a vile, corrupting for force, but as a condition which is fleeting and promotes an illusion of grandeur.

Where in the World is Botero's Leg
by JONATHAN CHING
July 9 - August 2, 2010
Video Room, Finale Art File
Warehouse 17, La Fuerza Compound
Jonathan Ching's current solo show, entitled Where in the World is Botero's Leg, engages the fallibility and arbitrary beauty of human memory. Framed by our own vantage points—our respective experiences, politics, and ways of seeing the world—singular events may very well end up documented as intersecting memories and narratives, multiple accounts of the past. He constructs the exhibit as a dissection of this concept, through a seemingly random conjugation of paintings and sculptures, where images are sifted out from their previous contexts and juxtaposed as visual bullet points to his discussion of the subject.
