The Killing Jar Artworks of Rosario Solis in collaboration with Nestor Ong
When corporations and ideologies started categorizing dreams and ideals in neat little boxes, the soul and essence of free thinking began to wither like insects in a huge killing jar. The suffocation has to end. The lid has to be opened. The killing jar must be shattered.
Featured in the exhibit are six artworks by Rosario Solis that celebrate liberation, images inspired by very old scientific illustrations of insects combined with modern minimalist organic and industrial designs.
Also featured is a surrealist portrayal of a taboo love affair done by Nestor Ong.
Aside from breaking personal killing jars, there will also be a jam session with PG Zoluaga's band "Maharlikang Bahandi", poetry readings, and collaborative painting sessions.
An emerging tourist destination in the Philippines is Sipalay City in Negros Occidental, which could be reached through a three-hour land trip from Bacolod City, the provincial capital. The city offers smart travelers seeking relief from the hustle and bustle of urban centers many beach resorts. Off Sipalay is Danjugan island, a marine reserve and sanctuary, where you can commune with nature at its purest, prominent features of which are three lagoons, a bat cave, rare species of birds, including eagles that have found a peaceful abode on the island. From the Sipalay town proper, you can hie off to the island in 30 minutes by pump boat, with limbs of nature welcoming you along the way.
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center-light pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Kerouac
Have you ever thought of a special place which serves us home for: madness and sanity, surrealism and realism, transition and static, daze and haze as well as everything in between all of these? Perhaps you have imagined this ideal place somewhere and you have bounced back to your waking life finding nowhere. Today, you find “that” Rendezvous.
Rendezvous is a fusion of art that is old and told, ancient and contemporary, harmonious and ambiguous. It is not a two-man show of Art just for beauty's sake but a slow train ride that seeps through how beautiful is the mind, how vast is the heart and how restless are the hands. It is a collaboration of greatly different media and perceptions bind by the same passion- to create, to mold that special venue that lets every viewer to not just look at but definitely, look into. A venue that awakens emotional telepathy that transcends.
Rendezvous showcases the intricacies of Escario and the perplexities of Duterte and the eccentricity of both. This is your ticket to a no mainstream art destination. Rendezvous is a taste of utopia. Sights and styles that either hits you home at the gut of your bewilderment.
Rendezvous.
Artistic radicalism. Boundary between dreams and consciousness. Call it a place, or yes, a pitfall.
