Articles of Disagreements exhibition opens on September 18 at Lopez Museum

Last September 18, 2014, I was given an opportunity to tour the Lopez Memorial Museum and Library in Pasig City. It's my first time to be there and my experience is amazing being with my fellow bloggers and the tour guides were very informative. It's been a long time since I went to a Museum. I think way back my Elementary days when our School's yearly Educational Field Trip goes to National Museum and Ayala Museum. And the last time I've been in a Library was when I was in College. That is why the tour is nostalgic, it reminds my school days.


 

The Lopez Memorial Museum and Library is open to all students, art lovers, Filipiniana scholars and researchers who wish to discover their heritage and maintain pride in being Filipino. The museum is located at the ground floor of the Benpres Building, Exchange Road corner Meralco Avenue, Pasig City. Operating hours are 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Mondays to Saturdays.


 
 
 
 

Dive deep into the treasure trove of Lopez Museum as their new exhibition, Articles of Disagreements, opens this September 18, 2014, 6 p.m.

The exhibition focuses on art forms that will unearth the different forms of art writing and anecdotes of criticism in Philippine art history. Articles of Disagreements was born out of a specific pool of major texts found in the Lopez Library archives and focuses on the reflexive practices of contemporary artists, as diverse occupations in the Arts are explored to unburden itself from established institutional forms.
