Interludes of Light is a collection of photographs by young Baguio photographers, Enrico Subido, Jose Yñiguez and Feliz Perez. Enrico describes the exhibit as such, “The word interlude can be used as a synonym for a phase or an episode while light is a basic component of photography. This collection aims to illustrate the correlation between a particular time period and the kind and quality of light it produces. On a more subjective note, these photos also seek to present the subtle moods and feelings brought about by a specific time of day.” The exhibit will be until December 4, 2008.
Cerise Novales creates beautiful tole of Philippine churches from the paintings of Al Perez. The artworks display the classic characters of our colonial churches in an interesting medium. The exhibit will open on December 5, 2008 at 5:30 PM and will remain on display at the café until January 9, 2008.
