Digital art exhibit ‘Siplog’ at the Banaan Museum
THE Pangasinan Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office (PTCAO) launched a digital art exhibit on April 5 (Pangasinan Day) at the Asin Gallery, or Gallery III, in Banaan Museum in Lngayen.
Entitled “Siplog: A Digital Art Exhibit,” touches on Pangasinan words ‘aro’ (love), ‘kimey’ (labor), and ‘kawayangan’ (freedom), feelings that are commonly evoked when one visits the ‘baybay’ (seashore)—thus the “sea” as the exhibit’s primary inspiration. Siplog means “a soft blow of wind.”
Featuring the masterpieces of eight Pangasinense artists, namely Paulyn Albino, Vanessa Baldueza, Wel Caoile, Darla De Guzman, Mel John Terrado, Ryjane Tunac, Stepphine Uson, and the late Santiago B. Villafania, an advocate of Pangasinan heritage.
PTCAO Chief Luisa Elduayan said the exhibit is a tribute to Villafania’s legacy and the provincial government is keen on promoting art appreciation among Pangasinenses, particularly among the youth who are adept with technology.
She said the provincial government recognized the young generation’s interests in technology, many of which are very exploratory, tapping creative energy using different platforms. “We want to support our youth and young artists that use different technology or platforms,” she added.
The exhibit opened on April 5 and will run until May 10. To see the digital art exhibit, book the museum visit at www.seepangasinan.com. (PIMRO/RRB)
