Until June 26, 2011, Manila Contemporary gallery hosts “Absence,” an exhibition of objects and installations used in the live performances it featured during the opening night last June 4.
The show exhibits new works by Indonesia-based artists Mella Jaarsma and Melati Suryodarmo and two of Manila’s most exciting visual and performance artists Bea Camacho and Racquel de Loyola. It is the culmination of the gallery’s month-long Performance Art Residency project with the said artists.

Controversial, engaging, hidden, powerful, dramatic, spectacular – altogether, the performance-installations were all that. And even more, depending on how one views an artwork or a performance, for that matter.
