“This Time, Today” is a Four-man Exhibition featuring works by Rodel Jacintos, Heal Vegerano, Jaycel Musnit, and Choy Raymundo.

Time is a currency that we cannot avoid spending yet we cannot earn it back. Time plays a significant role in our lives. Time helps us make a good habit of structuring and organizing our daily activities. If we understand the value of time better, we can gain experience and develop skills over time. If we could only realize it, time is the most important among the resources that we need to take good care of. We need time to work, eat, sleep, and accomplish all the daily chores of living. In fact, taking care of our family and relationships requires more time, and it is difficult to avoid the feeling that we could never have enough time for them.

This exhibit focuses on the importance of time as an opportunity. We want to disqualify the mindset of those who enjoy the myth of a “struggling artist”, especially those who believe that an artist can only do artwork if he feels like doing it. We thought if you’re an artist, then, it is important for you to act professionally. Excuses like struggles, not being in the mood, or not having enough time, got nothing to do with being an artist. Everybody in any profession has their own struggles, mood swings, and other excuses. We can always convince ourselves that we got all the time in this world, but this kind of mindset only wastes our opportunities. Opportunity to master our medium, our subject, and most importantly, to establish our significance in the art world. That’s why in this populated art scene, one should be humble to learn and accept criticisms if one wants to be recognized. We should learn from yesterday. We shouldn’t be afraid of tomorrow. We should take our opportunity now! This time! Today!

LOCALE

As a collection of open themes to express various forms of art freely, the collaboration includes a diversity of original artwork and artistic practices. Each artist created a wall-bound work and personalized house sculpture. With that, they’ll be able to highlight what their identity is, and what trajectory they’re going to do. The tendency is that, once the size and a specific theme are provided, there is a possibility that the artist will be limited.

The primary objective is to highlight Bulacan’s young artist community and introduce the younger ones. A way to map the upcoming young artists here in Bulacan and highlight how diverse and evolving it is. The Group of seniors has merged a group to guide a Filipino Young Artist through collaboration and to grow continuous projects with Filipino Young Artists.

“Locale” is a Group Exhibition serving as a diverse collection of originals regarding modern Filipino artists. The Group artist depicted different approaches to convey original art techniques and interpretations to present in the exhibition.
