Met Museum offers a rare chance to view its outstanding Philippine art collection in the ongoing exhibit, Recollect: Revisiting the Metropolitan of Manila Collection. The show features 96 paintings, sculptures, and mixed media works that resulted in the efforts of the Museum to collect in the 1990s. Except for the two artworks that are currently on loan to other museums, the exhibit features the collection in its entirety.
The Metropolitan Museum was initially established in 1976 as a venue for temporary international art exhibitions. With the change of government in 1986, the Museum also reviewed its policies and began to place equal emphasis on the promotion of Philippine art. Two decades after its existence, and with a firm grasp of its mandate as a Philippine museum of contemporary visual arts, the Museum began building its permanent collection, relying solely on the generosity and support of Filipino artists.
Recollect shows the Met Collection as a product of its milieu, providing interesting points of reacquaintance with the issues and concerns addressed by the leading and up-and-coming contemporary Filipino artists in the last decade of the previous millenium. Whether figurative or abstract in expression, and whether preoccupied with social, personal and purely aesthetic concerns, all the works actively participated in the art discourse of their time, and because of the standard of excellence they espoused, found permanent home in the Met Museum.
Among the highlights of the Met Collection are the controversial 1995 Flor Contemplacion Portrait by Bencab (now a National Artist); the 1990 Debt by Charlie Co, a commentary on the IMF-World Bank debt situation of the country; the color-soaked Bali-inspired paintings of J. Elizalde Navarro (also subsequently declared National Artist); the original plaster cast of Three Buddha Mothers by Agnes Arellano, Pasyong Bayan by Imelda Cajipe Endaya, India at Ilustrada by Ana Fer, Yellow Exploration Lor Calma, and many more.
RECOLLECT: Revisiting the Metropolitan Museum of Manila Collection is ongoing at the Tall Galleries and Catwalk of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila until April 24, 2010.
The Met Museum is located at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.
Museum hours are from Monday to Saturday, 9am – 6pm.

Metropolitan Museum of Manila opens the exhibit SIGLA AND SIKAP: Exulting the Filipino Industry
In celebration of the Filipino’s enterprising spirit, the Metropolitan Museum of Manila opens the exhibit Sigla at Sikap: Exulting the Filipino Industry which features more than thirty Bangko Sentral artworks that capture the Filipino at work.
Sigla at Sikap celebrates the resilience of the Filipino worker –the mat weaver, the food peddler, the farmer, the vegetable seller - who have made the country’s regional economy vibrant throughout the different stages of Philippine history. As it displays works of artists, from different time periods and different persuasions, that extol the varied forms of Filipino industry, the exhibition captures the Filipino worker at his finest --diligent, patient, honest, creative, and optimistic.
Sigla at Sikap also touches on the great role that micro enterprises serve in answering unemployment in the country. The informal sector, or the unregistered businesses that operate at a low level of technology, employ about 10.5 million Filipinos, or a little more than 10% of the 92 million Filipinos. Small and medium sized enterprises, through the aid of loan-giving institutions like rural and government banks, propel a dynamic business environment in places such as remote barrios and depressed inner cities; creating occupational opportunities to communities and individuals that include housewives, out-of-school youths, and even the elderly.
In these small enterprises, women play non-traditional yet vital roles. They often multitask as owners, managers, administrators, accountants, salesmen, and/or marketers. Through the exhibit, women are publicly recognized for the challenging and pivotal roles they undertake as entrepreneurs, and for the transformative, positive, and multiplier effect they bring to their community. This recognition has been bestowed by Filipino artists to these hardworking women, silently yet powerfully, through their art. This can be seen, for example, in Jose Blanco’s magnificent Puto Bungbong or Norma Belleza’s colorful Magpuprutas, two of the artworks from the BSP Collection featured in the exhibit.
The exhibit opened on July 3 and will run until January 30, 2010 at the Galeriya Bangko Sentral of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila.
As a collateral to the exhibit, the Museum will offer a bag-making workshop slated on the first half of the month of October. The workshop will employ used paper like old newspaper and magazines as the main material in the production of bags. It will run for 12 sessions with each intensive session lasting for 3 hours. The Bag-Making Workshop will be held at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila on October 6, 8, 10, 13, 15 and 17, and will be facilitated by bag expert Ms. Lulu Ocampo. The morning session is at 9-12 noon while the afternoon session will take place at 1-4 pm.
The fee for the bag-making workshop is P5,000.00 per head which is inclusive of materials. A group discount of 10% is given to groups of 5 people and also to those who register for the program on or before September 22, Tuesday. Registration entails full payment or a 50% down payment. For inquiries and enrollment to the workshop, please call the Museum’s Marketing Department at 523-0613 or 521-1517.
The Metropolitan Museum of Manila is located at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Malate, Manila. It is open from Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 6 pm.
For details about the exhibit and its collateral activities, the Museum can be reached at 523-7855 or 536-1566 through the Exhibitions and Education Programs Department. Online inquiries can be directed to info@metmuseum.ph. The Museum can be reached online at http://www.metmuseum.ph.

MODERN MASTERS OF FIGURATIVE INDIAN PAINTINGS AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM from November 6, 2009 to January 30, 2010
The Metropolitan Museum of Manila closes a dynamic year of international art shows with a November exhibition of Indian contemporary art, currently one of Asia’s most active. Entitled Kalpana, Sanskrit for imagination, the exhibit presents the figurative form in Indian art as seen in the last one hundred years through the works of fourteen of its best known painters, all prominent members of the art community in their country and abroad. These artists are the who’s who of Indian art: Jamini Roy, Amrita Shergil, MF Husain, KG Subramanyan, FN Souza, Krishen Khanna, Tyeb Mehta, Bhupen Khakhar, A. Ramachandran, Arpita Singh, Jogen Chowdhury, Anjolie Ela Menon, Manjit Bawa, and Arpana Caur.
The touring exhibit presents excellent quality digital reproductions of original artworks, each approved by the respective artist and/or collector and authorized to the Indian Council for Cultural Relations for presentation in different international venues.
Kalpana gives a glimpse of different influences that have shaped Indian contemporary art—from local painting traditions of rural and folk art, miniaturism, mural painting, to Hindu-inspired illustrations. The exhibit also presents artworks that resulted in the synergy of Indian artistic expressions with Western art that loudly emerged in the Indian art scene during the 1950s, spurred by the seminal Progressive Artists Group of Souza, Khana and Husain.
For the Philippine leg of the Kalpana tour, the Indian works are placed in conversation with works by an equally distinguished selection of Filipino painters such as National Artists Bencab, Cesar Legaspi, Vicente Manansala, J. Elizalde Navarro and Ang Kiukok, as well as Imelda Cajipe Endaya, Nena Saguil, Malang, Galo Ocampo, Prudencio Lamarroza, Antipas Delotavo and Onib Olmedo, to reveal confluences and divergences in the modern figurative painting tradition between the two cultures. The Philippine works in the exhibit have been loaned from the excellent painting collections of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
KALPANA: 14 Figurative Painters of India in Conversation with Filipino Artists will be on view to the public beginning November 6 until January 30 at the Upper Galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Manila. It is co-presented by the Embassy of India with the support of the National Commission for Culture and the
Arts and the Indian Council for Cultural Relations on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Diplomatic Relations between the Philippines and India.
The Met Museum is located at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.
Museum hours are from Monday to Saturday, 9am – 6pm.

SWEENEY TODD this November 14 to December 13, 2009
Synopsis
Sweeney Todd is considered by many as one of the greatest musical scores of the twentieth century. Stephen Sondheim, the genius, knows exactly how to use music to set the mood for his characters. It’s a wonderful story, with a couple of good twists, fascinating characters, and a majestic, complex and exciting score.
The Broadway version of Sweeney Todd offers so much more than the movie. There is a love story, tons of humor, and a wonderful cast of characters that lend their strong voices, contributing additional layers to the Sondheim’s multi-dimensional score.
Gripping. Exciting. Challenging. Sweeny Todd is set in a world of demented people where one can draw many parallels to our own. It is interesting to see how the characters of Sweeney Todd cope in this world and more interesting to see what lessons we can derive from this. But Sondheim's grand masterpiece based on a Christopher Bond adaptation of an old British urban legend, rings with emotion, and the outstanding score has many layers of feelings and music to discover.
Sweeney Todd features some of the best talents of Philippine Theater, with Audie Gemora in the title role, and Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo as Mrs. Lovett. At the helm of the orchestra is none other than one of Manila’s finest conductors, Gerard Salonga of Filharmonika. Co-directors Baby Barredo and Michael Williams will bring life to this gem of a musical.
Watch SWEENEY TODD from November 14 to December 13, 2009!
