UPCOMING SHOW
SM Art Center, SM Megamall
Reality Sandwiches
June 8 to 27, 2007
Opening on June 8 at the SM Art Center (SM Megamall,
4/F Bldg. A) is Wire Tuazon's Reality Sandwiches.
Organized by Finale Art File and curated by Roberto
Chabet, the exhibit presents a suite of paintings
depicting familiar, contemporary images disrupted by a
line of text that points towards and away from
meaning.
"The show delves on the paradox of control, popular
memory, loss and immortality," says the artist. "I'm
particularly interested on the power of images and
manufactured reality. I'm fascinated with images that
hold sacred truths on the diverse meanings and aspects
of life and death."
When taken as ironic commentary on the ever-expanding
visual vocabulary that invades the modern man and
woman and their systems of interrelations, Reality
Sandwiches exposes our clichéd understanding of the
world, our avidity to immortalize even the smallest
human pursuits, and our deadly reliance on language as
a singular guidepost to significance.
Unnerving, self-reflexive, resonant, Reality
Sandwiches offers a new take on what we call real,
coaxing us to look deeper into the void and
intersection of things.
