'Florante at Laura' exhibition at 1/Of Gallery Florante at Laura, an exhibition inspired by the epic poem of Francisco Baltazar (also known as Balagtas) of the same title, will be shown at 1/Of Gallery in Shops at Serendra, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, from July 20 to 31, 2008. Celebrating the visual arts and literature, the exhibition features 22 figurative paintings inspired by different sections of the literary masterpiece and a sculptural introductory piece, all based on the edition edited by National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario. The artworks, reflecting a variety of styles, were made by Mark Arcamo, Buen Calubayan, Caña, Salvador J. Ching, Convocar, Marc Cosico, Cris Cruz, Leonilo Doloricon, Egai Talusan Fernandez, Alfred Galvez, Juan Sajid Imao, Jon Jaylo, Jerome Malic, Wilfredo Offemaria Jr., Vincent Padilla, Jonathan Rañola, Laya Roman, Don Salubayba, Fernando Sena, Rex Tatlonghari, Roger "Rishab" Tibon, Inna Vitasa and Janice Liuson Young. The exhibit was first staged during the Komedya Fiesta 2008 1st National Festival in February at the University of the Philippines Jorge B. Vargas Museum. Meanwhile, the UP Diliman Chancellor's Office, under Chancellor Sergio S. Cao, has just published a UP Centennial edition of Florante at Laura which will be available at 1/Of Gallery. The full-color, softbound book features a reconstruction of the Balagtas text by Almario, an English translation by poet Marne Kilates and all the artworks featured in the exhibition. In the book's introduction, Cao says that the UP Centennial edition of Florante at Laura is not only a tribute to its acclaimed author, but is also an offering meant to broaden the appreciation for a Filipino classic. "Indeed, there is no better way to mark a university's one hundred years of history in molding young minds than by honoring one of the country's most enduring literary legacies. This book will certainly help us rediscover Balagtas. It is sure to deepen our interest in a celebrated masterpiece and make us realize how one man's work can transcend the ages and inspire people of another lifetime," notes Cao. Almario, who is also the dean of the UP College of Arts and Letters, calls Balagtas the "First Filipino Poet", claiming that the latter – through Florante at Laura – demonstrated a poet's power. For the first time, notes Almario, a poet dared to challenge his readers (in the exhortation "Sa Babasa Nito") to carefully consider his written words because these would be of immense use to them. "In a way, Balagtas broke free from the shackles of colonialism and paved the way towards freedom for the likes of Rizal, Bonifacio and many generations of contemporary poets," Almario points out.

An installation art for 2008 Guandu International Outdoor Sculpture Festival. Statement: The Shield is symbolic of the ozone layer.The ozone is supposed to protect us and the world from excessive heat and harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. But, due to our ignorance, neglect and irresponsibility, we have caused irreparable damage and holes to it . And now, we are experiencing the worldwide effect of global warming which resulted to climate change which puts us in a nightmarish brink of destruction. Glaciers and Alps are rapidly melting threatening low-lying lands and islands into submerging underwater. Rivers, inland seas, lakes and other smaller bodies of water are drying up. More and more forest, bush and grass fires occur due to excessive heat from the sun. Heat waves are becoming more and more intensified killing humans, plants and animals. The Shield is a grim reminder of our precarious situation. When we enter inside it to take shelter from the scorching heat of the sun, we realize that we no longer get full protection because of the many holes around its wall. Just like the ozone cannot protect us fully any longer because of the holes we have created to it - maybe unconsciously. My installation is interactive. The people who will be viewing and entering into it are encouraged to put some weaving to the holes (like a dreamcatcher) symbolically trying to mend the holes of the damaged and continually thinning ozone layer. Thus, my artwork will be changing during the duration of the exhibition. -rishab
