The Transart Triennale continues

Re-framed

On September 15th, “Re-framed” curated by alumni Josephine Turalba and Sonia Barrett will be

screened as part of the London Biennale “Manila Pollination” at the First United Building,

Escolta Street in Binondo, Manila, Philippines. Spurring dialogues on syncopations of the permanent and synchronisations of the displaced through built and imaginary structures, artists engage the borrowed concepts of adaptive re-use, sustainability, and re-purposing from architectural frameworks vis-à-vis contemporary existences, otherness, the collective, individual and hybrid identities. ReFramed is a video project that stitches together strands of the Transart Triennale: “The Imperceptible Self” and the 2016 London Biennale “MANILA Pollination” exploring real and/or imagined architecture for sharing culture and inter-connectedness.

Minus Ego

From October 7 to December 22, “Minus Ego”, an exhibition curated by Transart Advisor Herman Bashiron Mendolicchio will take place at the Goethe-Institut Barcelona, Roger de Flor 224, Barcelona. The ‘Minus Ego’ project explores both the convergences and divergences of ego, its dependency and independency, its eternity and impermanence. Reflecting on this from within artistic contexts — themselves often filled with egotism — will provide an opportunity to explore the spirit and nature of ‘I’, ‘Self’, ‘Ego’ from different perspectives and their relationships with the ‘We’, the ‘Other’ and different ‘systems and superstructures’.
