BRAGGING RIGHTS

Seeing is not enough. There must be museums.

The Metropolitan Museum of Manila presents the first MET Open 2014. A benefit exhibition featuring a diverse collection of modern and contemporary pieces created in the Philippines by local and foreign artists as presented by 5 respected curators in the country. On view till Oct. 4, 2014. There must be time enough in one’s lifetime to lay eyes on sublime insanities.

Here’s a peep inside.

Excuse me while I brag my little corner of the room.

What a glory to have my pieces under the same roof with the virtuoso’s! I rummaged through @ANCHardBall’s twitter feeds to retrieve a beautiful line which comes to mind right now:

No need to be humble when you just delivered a perfect routine. Own it.
