Three exhibits at Silverlens
ONGOING at Silverlens until Jan. 11, 2020 are three exhibits. There is Martha Atienza’s Equation of State in which she presents a survey of Bantayan Island’s coastline, highlighting climate change from a layered perspective; Yee I-Lann’s ZIGAZIG ah!, her first solo exhibition of new works emerging from collaborations with weavers from Keningau in the Borneo interior and Pulau Omadal, Semporna, in the Sulu Sea; and Corinne de San Jose’s 59.59, her fifth solo exhibition with the gallery. She combined her artistic instincts as both sound designer and photographer in 59.59, trying to make sense of the duality between sound and silence.
