@ Escolta Street

ESCOLTA BLOCK PARTY X HOP INN: The Twelfth House

Don't sleep on the @thetwelfthhouse Q2/2018 Vol. 3 Collection launch at @ponderosa.hall (Rm505 First United Building) this Saturday in line with the Escolta Block Party. See you!

ESCOLTA BLOCK PARTY X HOP INN: Exhibits

Check out these exhibitions that will be up all day for the Block Party! Let’s support our local artists and their art exhibits within the First United Building, Escolta Street, Manila. See you there!

They wrote poems, we burn them down

One/zero in collaboration with BluPrint present "They wrote poems, we burn them down.” The exhibit aims to spark discussions on how we move forward with our built heritage. It will be on view from 19 May to 18 August 2018 at the One Zero Design Co. office, Room 514, First United Building, 413 Escolta St., Binondo, Manila.

Much has been written about the importance of our heritage buildings, but day after day pieces of our identity are being torn down in different places around Manila. Our cities may be rapidly growing, but at what cost?

The exhibit is a collection of what won’t be there: buildings that once defined a great city, monuments we’ve neglected. It offers a rare look at Juan Nakpil’s attention to detail, and the now defunct PNB Building by Carlos Arguelles.

XI: Thou shall not be ugly

“XI: Thou shall not be ugly”, by John Emmanuel Gutierrez with Jeremy Laureano, talks about a contrast between generations and their beliefs. It speaks of a misconception about beauty and morality. It dreams to give away the freedom to express, discover, and love oneself.

Using fashion as a medium for symbolic art, composed and immortalized through photography, the collection tackles sensitive topics which are undeniably relatable to the artist and his generation.

Open Wall: Formation #1

Open Wall is a semi-regular series of exhibitions and space interventions at @thedenmanila . For the @escoltablock Party 6 they are featuring Formation #1, a work by transmedia artist Derek Tumala.

Derek Tumala �FORMATION #1�SILVER MYLAR, DICHROIC FILM ON METAL LIGHT BOX

Presented in the 2016 exhibition To Where the Sky Will Lead Us at The Drawing Room Gallery, Philippines and in the ASEAN ART EXHIBITION 2017 Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Seoul, Korea organized by ASEAN-Korea Centre

Derek Tumala works in a sculptural medium that largely uses calculations of light elements through video mapping, prisms and other light fixtures. From Rainbow Gravity theory to Philippine ethnoastronomy, he maps the speculative principles of science with the birth of culture.

LIVE BY DESIGN: LIVING SPACES

The Manila Creative Exchange and one/zero design collective present LIVE BY DESIGN, a series of talks on the intersection of various design disciplines such as architecture, graphic design, publication, fashion, IT, film, TV, music, and crafts.

This time, we focus around the idea of LIVING SPACES and how design uplifts the lives of people. We invited 3 speakers to discuss different aspects of this topic:
