‘Aliens vs. Robots’ at Artery Art Space

Quezon City art gallery Artery Art Space opened on January 14 an exhibit titled Aliens vs. Robots, which explores the diversity of expression, bordering on orientations of technique and perception that offer emblematic images of place and terrain, ambience and mental mapping, body representation, psyche, and gesture. 

Aliens vs. Robots counters the simulated lines of preset design, encompassing notions of abstraction and media that are opposite to an intuitive account of primitivism and exotica in forming a contemporary view of mediated subjectivity in the manufacture of culture.

Placing an eye on mechanical reproduction within a contemporary aesthetic vis-à-vis the raw reification of imagined space and figuration, Aliens vs. Robots serves as a distinct marker of today’s evolving practice and pervasive notion on cultural displacement—its assimilation and alienation, establishing the fact that identity is always in flux and a process of discovery.

The artists participating in this exhibit are Clarence Chun, Patrick Cruz, Jon Cuyson, John Yoyogi Fortes, Pow Martinez, Marcus Noceda, Carlo Ricafort, and Cos Zicarelli.

Aliens vs. Robots runs until February 4. Artery Art Space is on 102 P. Tuazon Blvd., Cubao, Quezon City, and open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., from Tuesday to Saturday. For inquiries, call (632) 725-2837 or send an e-mail to arteryartspace@gmail.com.
