Makati just gave birth to another art space – Modeka Creative Space!
It is an independent, artist-led contemporary art gallery and art consultancy situated at Warehouse 20A La Fuerza 1, 2241 Don Chino Roces Avenue, Makati City.
Modeka Creative Space provides a new and innovative platform for local and international artists to showcase their works. It offers a diverse and eclectic mix of painting, sculpture, mixed media, limited edition prints, and photography to provide experiential and multi-sensory exhibitions featuring both internationally acclaimed and emerging artists.
Aside from its art exhibitions, Modeka will hold community programs to promote cultural and creative activities, as well as unique art experiences within and outside its four walls, making art accessible to the widest possible audience.
Modeka also provides art curation services for brands and institutions, connecting them to a wide-range and culturally relevant selection of local and international artists, creating engagement through fresh and exciting art-infused experiences.
“NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY”
Lifted from Robert Frost’s 1923 poem, Modeka opens with its first exhibition titled “Nothing Gold Can Stay”.
The group show aims to tackle the idea of impermanence and evaluates how art-making can become more involved in the active and conscious experience of the present.
The exhibition features artists from here and abroad whose practices explore a spectrum of forms, themes, and materiality. Among these artists are Filipino photographer Mark Nicdao, modern and contemporary painters Lynyrd Paras and Jono Pisano, and 13 Lucky Monkeys.
The show will also present works by Indonesian artists Sinta Tantra, Dedy Sufriadi and Ronald Apriyan, and Caryn Koh of Malaysia.
Sinta Tantra, a London-based artist of Indonesian descent, is highly regarded for her public artworks including a 300-meter painted bridge commissioned for the 2012 Olympics in London. She usually merges art and architecture with patterns and color that mirror her Balinese heritage.
Dedy Sufriadi, on the other hand, creates representational imagery using a variety of media on canvas that gives his works a jagged and multi-dimensional effect. While Ronald Apriyan presents colorful artworks with easily recognizable images from pop culture rendered in his unique style.
The opening night of the exhibition also featured performances by Jason Soong, Marie Garcia, Brando Umali, Krista Roma, Tribo Manila. The exhibit will run until January 31, 2020. Make sure to check it out! (It’s just beside XX XX).
