Shu Ruei’s role in the workshop and exhibition is more of a lateral collaborator with students and participants instead of an “instructor.” The exhibition space is not used for her “solo” show but for a collective expression reflecting the collaboration between her, as a visiting artist, and the local community. The main concern of this art project is bringing people together as a community and engaging them through art to reflect on ways people resolve, create, negotiate, and share ownership or authorship in relation to each other.

A Collective Community Exhibition with Chuah Shu Ruei
856 G Gallery, Mandaue City, Philippines
this/here is an exhibition by Australian artists Tania Smith and Kubota Fumikazu. The exhibition combines two seemingly incongruous practices—Tania Smith’s performative photographs and video exploring representations of women using costume and humor, and Kubota Fumikazu’s hard-edged, geometric compositions recalling the history of early 20th century abstraction.

Proximity is a group exhibition of works by contemporary Filipino artists from Manila and Cebu. The exhibition considers our relationship to place and landscape within the framework of what geographers have termed the ‘new mobilities paradigm’ (Sheller and Urry 2006) – an increasingly mobile world of migration, social media, and accessible transport. Furthermore, rather than places acting as settings or surfaces upon which things and people move, the idea of approaching place as an ongoing process, as a verb – ‘placing’, ‘spacing’, ‘landscaping’ (Cresswell 2003), is proposed when grouping together works by artists from one country and presenting in another.
