With essays by Mara Coson, Patrick Flores, Marian Pastor Roces, this publication accompanies the exhibition The Vexed Contemporary which “came at a time when the presence of the professional careers of Filipino artists within the global art scene was acknowledged locally…” This publication also attempts to produce a dialectical dialogue across centuries and narrative language.” Produced for the exhibition of the same title, on view 26 August–21 November 2015.
