[News] MEME: The Simplified Head

Recently in the Philippines, where I live and work, there was a two-part exhibition of portraits at MO_Space.

As part of A Dollar and a Day: Angelo Villa (Farmer/Artist), Leslie de Chavez presented a video portrait of a Filipino who survives by working as farmer, artist, and father.

In another 2023 show in Manila (Geraldine Javier at Silverlens Gallery) the artist included portraits, or evocations, of five people who worked with nature: Derek Jarman, Jane Goodall, Maria Sybilla Merian, David Attenborough, and Leonard Co.
