Arthaland Century Pacific Tower unveils the CCP 21AM Collection

MANILA, Philippines — Arthaland Century Pacific Tower (ACPT), the world’s first EDGE Zero Carbon building, is home to select pieces from Cultural Center of the Philippines’ 21AM Collection until November 13.

Entitled “Details & Abstractions,” the exhibition brings together ethnographic artifacts and fine art prints from the collection of the CCP. It seeks to feature the sense of universality in the traditional and unconventional elements of artmaking that is also rooted in the living and working conditions of the Philippines.

On display are works by some of the country’s renowned artists such as Manuel Rodriguez Sr., Fernando Zobel and National Artists Jose Joya and Arturo Luz.

González.
