NEW FRIENDS FROM BERLIN!!! YAY!!!
Before leaving for Barcelona a couple of weeks ago, we got to hang out with Freunde von Freunden, a german online magazine that also moonlights as a really thick and really heavy coffee table book series. Actually, we hung out with Frederik, not Freunde von Freunden per se. But then Frederik is one of the founders… Oh well. Let’s not get caught up in technicalities. Their website is super cool. And we’re not just saying that cos we’re going to be in it soon.

CLARESIL OPENING AT LA CAPELLA YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Here’s a photo of what the place looked like from the outside. Little Heathens rocked the house. Over 200 people in attendance. Represented the homeland with uber-ness. The vaulted ceilings made everything sound so much more grandiose. Thanks to Alex Brahim and Eduard Escoffet for making it all come true. Now, to enjoy the rest of the festival. On Sunday, we’ll have a chance to fangirl and see Saul Williams in person.

STILL FROM MARTA ATIENZA + CARLOS CASAS SHOOT. ZAMBALES, 2011
Part of the research we did on IDPs (indigenous displaced peoples), particularly on the Aeta tribe members displaced by Mt. Pinatubo eruption and mudslides back in the 90s. We filmed and interviewed people from the Lupang Pangako resettlement location. This shot in particular taken by Martha. This collaboration was part of the Zamboanga Hace #3 Workshop. Thanks to A Single Drop Foundation for hooking us up with the people from this settlement.
ONE WEEKEND BOOK PROJECT ON ANC MORNING NEWS, TODAY
OMG. It’s been too long since I’ve seen myself on TV. But I’m posting because our press clipping demands it. But if it were up to me I’d burn all copies of this. Why is it so hard to see yourself on video?
But yeah, so there. Talked about Martin and Lupi and Jambo and the OWB #11 Manila. Thanks Philip from Kanto Artist Run Space, our uber media relations officer freelance extraordinaire, for hooking up such a great press run for OWB. P
WE FOUND JAMBO!
Oh yeah, and tomorrow morning Jambo and I guest on ANC news show in the morning to talk about the project. So we’ll be up much earlier than human beings should be asked to wake up. All in the name of media relations :)
TWOPOINTS.NET, A.K.A. MARTIN AND LUPI, IN MY LIVING ROOM IN MANILA

LITTLE HEATHENS IN THE BARCELONA POESIA FESTIVAL 2012
Little Heathens, the performance piece conceptualized by Lobregat Balaguer and Karen Castillo for the launch of Tennet will be part of the Barcelona Poesia festival in 2012. It shall form part of the inaugural act for ClaResil 2012mg, an exhibit curated by Alex Brahim on May 9th, 2012 at 8:30pm.
The space it’s going to be performed in is really cool. La Capella is an art space inside a refurbished Romanic chapel. The Culture Institute of Barcelona dedicates this space to emerging artistic creation. In recent years, its activity has centred on organising exhibitions aimed at acquainting the public with the most innovative approaches being taken by the city’s artists. It has also turned its attention to promoting exchange projects that disseminate approaches coming from other cities and cultural zones of the world, thereby bringing artists linked with Barcelona into contact with other contexts.
The two other artists also presenting work at ClaResil 2012mg’s opening are Aggtelek and R. Marcos Mota, both of whom are slated to collaborate on an OCD project: the second Island Art Residency, in February 2013. More info on that really, really soon.
Tennet is an editorial collaboration The OCD, Triangulo Books and H2O Gallery Barcelona. Designed by Miquel Polidano. The Barcelona Poesia festival is organized by Marti Sales and Eduard Escoffet.
MOBILE CINEMA STATION SKETCH FOR CLOYD IN BANTAYAN
Martha Atienza has given us the preliminary designs for Cloyd’s Mobile Film Station. We’ve decided he’s got to be mobile, so he can bring his “office” to wherever it is he’s going to be editing or filming or teaching. We’ll be looking for sponsors and collaborators to pitch in and get this thing on the road soon. For now, we’ve decided it should be light enough to be hauled around by a motorcycle, but versatile enough to be hooked up to anything from a bicycle to a truck to a kalabaw. In true island spirit!
