Two shows at BenCab Museum

BenCab Museum presents two shows — “Bu-LOLZ” by Leeroy New and “Passages” by Ambie Abaño, Villia Jefremovas and Fara Manuel — which are on view until Nov. 29 and Nov. 10 at Gallery Indigo and Print Gallery, respectively, of BenCab Museum, Km. 6 Asin Road, Tuba, Metro Baguio.

“Bu-LOLZ” is New’s attempt at a dialogue of contexts with the museum’s extensive collection of bulols.

In “Passages,” Abaño offers glimpses of the particular that are often taken for granted in lieu of the general; Jefremovas casts through portals when people are focused on the journey and destination, yet ignore the openings that one has to pass; while Manuel engages with the seemingly unmoving landscapes in her quest for natural state(s) of woman.

For inquiries, call (074) 442-7165 or visit www.bencabmuseum.org.
