“SI MANG ENTENG… ENCOUNTERING MANANSALA”

Tall Galleries, May 20, 2010 – July 31, 2010 

“Si Mang Enteng… Encountering Mananasala” presents a fuller dimension of the artist’s uniqueness and excellence by layering his masterful works with incisive anecdotes, testaments and viewpoints from his colleagues, peers, patrons and collectors with whom he developed deep, personal friendships.  By refocusing on Manansala‘s persona -- a man of his time and ahead of his time, who simultaneously embodied the quintessential and unorthodox Filipino – the exhibit hopes to enrich the public’s current encounters with his artworks.   

SULYAP, YUGTO, DALIPAY : MEMENTOS OF PHILIPPINE EVERYDAY LIFE

Galeriya Bangko Sentral, February 8, 2010 – June 26, 2010 

The exhibit looks into the quaint details of traditional everyday Filipino life that are becoming distant memories to the older generations, and perhaps entirely unfamiliar and novel to the youth in modernized Manila.  Beyond being nostalgic about old neighborhood scenes, household work and implements, recreational activities and toys, and even old language and terminologies, the exhibit aims to be a gentle reminder of the traditional values worth maintaining even in our currently, fast-paced, modern times.   

OUT OF THE ORDINARY/EXTRAORDINARY: JAPANESE CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY

Upper Level Galleries, June 23, 2010 – September 30, 2010 

In celebration of the Philippines-Japan Friendship Month this July, the Museum will be hosting a travelling exhibit from The Japan Foundation, Out of the Ordinary / Extraordinary.  The exhibit features the works of eleven contemporary Japanese photographers of different values and persuasions who confront the complexities and ambiguousness within their immediate and global society.
