Kidlat Tahimik at Lopez Museum’s "Fuzzy Logic: Art and Technology"

Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik treated artists and art aficionados to an inspired ethnic performance at the opening of the Lopez Museum’s “Zero-In” exhibit, “Fuzzy Logic: Art and Technology.”

Kidlat Tahimik, who lends his 1977 video installations from “Perfumed Nightmare” to the exhibit at the Lopez Museum. Kidlat Tahimik was accompanied by his son Kabunian and his friends from Baguio on percussions.

Lopez Group chairman Oscar Lopez formally opened the event together with the “Zero-In” consortium partners of the Lopez-Ayala-Ateneo-Museo Pambata-Bahay Tsinoy museums.

“Fuzzy Logic” exhibit attempts to craft a tentative survey of how Filipino visual art and popular culture have over time weighed in on questions of craft, mechanization, industrialization and living in the age of interactive television, surveillance cameras and Pinoy Big Brother. A cursory scan reveals that these engagements span ironic extremes from ultra-nativism to hybridization and blind appropriation. And yet, as the exhibit title itself alludes to fuzzy truth, shades of gray and crossing over, “Fuzzy Logic” plays on the volatility that rings with shifting territories, ever-changing avatars, elastic visual communities and multiple versions of the real.

The exhibit features works from the collection of the Lopez Memorial Museum and includes paintings and sculptures by contemporary artists Alvin Villaruel, Wire Tuason, Pete Jimenez, Ronald Achacoso, and Gabby Barredo. Aside from Kidlat Tahimik’s work, the exhibit also includes video installations of formerly London-based Yason Banal’s Symphonie du mal, as well as Louie Cordero’s installation called Crash Test Broadcast.

This exhibit is part of the Zero In: Convergence series, an annual project of the Lopez-Ayala-Ateneo-Museo Pambata-Bahay Tsinoy museums. The exhibit will run until April 5, 2007 at G/F Benpres Bldg., Ortigas Center, Pasig City. The Lopez Museum is open Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more info, call 631-2417.
