DEFACE MOI IN MANILA!

Thrilling Manila sent over some photos of "Chromatext Reloaded" being installed. This historic Thrilla in Manila exhibition should open...hmm, today!

Here's an installation shot of my piece -- actually, my vizpo poem on its five sheets are on the ground awaiting to be hanged, but you can see the blood-red crucifixion backdrop against which they'll be pinned. In the first photo, I'm honored to feature Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) President Nes Jardin, who came to take a peek. Guess that makes him one of Moi Peeps!



And in second photo below, you'll see another shot of the gallery as the installation proceeds; the mannequin, by the way, features a wedding dress embroidered with Carlomar Daoana's poem "(A Notion of) Marital Bliss":


All so thrilling! And you Peeps reading this and who have a chance to see the exhibit? CHECK IT OUT! Feel free to deface my poem! Bring it on! Bring on that magic marker or its equivalent! Go ahead, Baby(ies): Let's Make Art History Together!

Deface Moi!

Any poem of mine would be BORED just hanging out on a wall. So:

Deface Moi!

But don't tell them I sent ya...or be caught by the suits!
