Hubog—meaning form, bent or curved in Filipino; intoxicated or drunk in Cebuano and arid in Hiligaynon—depicts space-occupiers inhabiting the local sidewalks, streets, waters as well as the minds, hearts and bellies of an everyday Juan or Maria.

Sculptural works by Pete Jimenez, Gerry Leonardo, Anna Varona, Alma Quinto, Julie Lluch, Renato Ong and Juan Sajid Imao highlights the sumptuous, the ecological, the grief-stricken, the interconnectivity of dichotomous cultures rendered in brass/copper wires, resin/fiberglass, polyurethane foam as well as old glass buoys, automobile steel bars and a gasoline tank as found objects—all of which coalesces into one distinct hubog or form we perceive as Life.

Exhibit runs from April 11 to April 30, 2010 at the Tala Gallery, 100 Scout De Guia Street, (nr. Tomas Morato) Kamuning, Quezon City, Philippines
