Propaganda

Through the activation of an integral segment of the Lopez Museum and Library’s collection, the World War II propaganda, and election-related archival materials, Propaganda fleshes out the idea of myth-making and its ability to inspire change in society, and conversely, the formation of a fantasy or outright fallacy packaged as a promise that never gets fulfilled.

Propaganda brings together works of featured artists Nune Alvarado, Santiago Bose, Joey Cobcobo, Don M. Salubayba, and Alvin Yapan along with a selection from the museum and library’s collection of Juan Luna, Félix Resurrección Hidalgo, National Artists Napoleon Abueva, Fernando Amorsolo, Jose Joya, Cesar Legaspi, and J. Elizalde Navarro.

Grounded

GROUNDED continues the Lopez Museum’s penchant for one-word titles. This time around, “grounded” is a nod to the museum’s position as a cultural institution, an examination of its relationship with different localities as it made its way from Pasay to Pasig in the 1980s, and as it prepares to relocate to Makati by the middle of the decade.

Complicated

The exhibition situates the post-colonial critiques presented by the oeuvre of guest visual artists, Leslie de Chavez and Mike Adrao, along with dancer and choreographer Ea Torrado, the many upheavals of Philippine history represented in the archival, library, and art collections of the Lopez Memorial Museum and Library.

Beat

The Lopez Museum continues its explorations of the intersections of the colonial and recent past alongside contemporary issues with its current exhibition called Beat. Beat encourages the wordplay which comes with the summoning of dual meanings. Beat registers as ultimate defeat and/or surrender.

Reverb

REVERB takes off from notions having to do with resonance, registration, and audible impressions. Apart from the gustatory and olfactory, the aural sense is possibly the least serviced among all the human sensory channels through which we experience what gets shown in museums and other spaces tending to human sensation.
