Bringing together the creative forces of Saluhan Collective and Liquid Architecture, Mainit Illusion is a multidisciplinary exhibition informed by voyeurism and the post-paradise palate of the Philippines.
Working in sound, installation, and video, Filipinx artists from the Kulin and Eora Nations—Catherine Ortega-Sandow, Del Lumanta, Kenneth Suico, Mariam Ella Arcilla (Magenta House), MJ Flamiano, Neil Cabatingan (Kuya Neil), Ranima Montes, and Raquel Solier (Various Asses)—come together to present newly commissioned works across Arts House.
‘Mainit’ is a Filipino word meaning hot or humid and is a common expression used to describe the intensity of summer heat felt across the archipelago.
Alongside the exhibition, Mainit Fantasy is a one-night curated spectacle of sweet and salty art, sound and performance.
Exhibition runs 19th February - 23rd March
