Art and Its Contexts: Essays, Reviews, and Interviews on Philippine Art by Reuben Ramas Canete (Out of Print)

Out of print title

"Documenting the practice of art writing in the Philippines from the perspective of the author's previously published body of work, Art and it's Context covers a wide range of artistic topics and themes, from the issues that beset the continued growth of Philippine Art for the past two decades; to critical insight into the works and lives of artist as diverse as Juan Luna and Junyee; as well as conversations with artist that opens the mysterious world of art making to a more familiar terrain. The author's background as artist, writer, and academic also infuses these essays with an uncommon understanding of the process in which art is thought of and executed, the motivations behind making them, and how they are received by the world in both material as well as conceptual ways. Combing a detailed analysis of contemporary art, as well as covering scholarly ground in art and media industry, Art and It's Contexts provides readers with a broad and detailed glimpse of Manila art scene, and the state of exhibiting and collecting Philippine Art since the late '90s, in a variety of literary levels that range from the erudite intellectual to the lay person."
A Philippine import.
