MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The Japan Foundation, Manila is pleased to announce the publication of ART ARCHIVE 03. This is the third volume of a series that explores current trends and concerns in Philippine contemporary art. ART ARCHIVE 03 brings together sixteen writers, presenting a diverse set of perspectives about contemporary Music and Design in the country. In addition to our earlier volumes, ART ARCHIVE 01 and ART ARCHIVE 02, we hope that this publication serves as an added resource for readers interested in Philippine art and constructively contributes to the dialogue on contemporary art in the region.
In line with the Japan Foundation’s aim of carrying out comprehensive international exchange programs throughout the world, the book is published in a digital format for accessibility. As a primer for readers interested in Philippine art, ART ARCHIVE 03 is meant to be used as a resource to foster cultural exchange and knowledge sharing for artists, educators, and art and cultural institutions in the Philippines and abroad.
We also released two videos for our Virtual Book Launch presenting the contents of both Music and Design sections. The videos also include discussions between the Section Editors and Contributors about their essays and professions. You can access the videos on our Official YouTube Channel: The Japan Foundation, Manila.
