Catalogues
MCAD publishes catalogues that document the museum’s exhibitions and elaborate presented thematics through essays and photography.
Haegue Yang: The Cone of Concern
The publication The Cone of Concern is a valuable document of Haegue Yang’s exhibition of the same title; it revisits the exhibition’s complex layering of objects—anthropomorphic rattan sculptures, light sculptures, rotating sonic disks with metallic bells, whirlwind-derived wall partitions, elements of textile canopies, fans, and sounds—against a lenticular print backdrop of a digitally constructed space swirling with meteorological measuring devices.
Adaptation: A Reconnected Earth
The catalogue documents the exhibition of Adaptation: A Reconnected Earth, curated by Joselina Cruz and James Luigi Tana, that ran from 28 March to 27 August 2023 at MCAD Manila and featured works by Patty Chang (Los Angeles), Agnes Denes (New York), Josh Kline (New York), Lui Medina (Manila), Issay Rodriguez (Manila), Deniz Tortum (Istanbul and New York) & Kathryn Hamilton (New York and Istanbul), Derek Tumala (Manila), and Bartolina Xixa (Argentina).
Pacita Abad: A Million Things to Say
Accompanying her 2018 exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) Manila, Pacita Abad: A Million Things to Say is the first monograph devoted to the artist in over a decade.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul Sourcebook: The Serenity of Madness
Encompassing the full complexity of the artist’s practice across media, The Serenity of Madness compiles a wide range of source materials and texts that have informed his work over the last two decades.
Other Publications
MCAD produces digests celebrating the works of featured creatives whose works have made significant contribution in the formation of ideas about contemporary art within the region.
