ATENEO ART GALLERY LAUNCHES "ARTSCREEN"

The Ateneo Art Gallery, the country's premier museum
of modern and contemporary Philippine art, launches
Artscreen, film and documentary showings on art to be
shown every other Wednesday at 4:30 PM. Artscreen
is part of the museum's educational program in
increasing awareness, knowledge and interest in the
arts.

Artscreen kicks off on 11 July 2007 with "The Mists of
Time," "The Hero Steps Forth" and "The Age of Genius,"
three episodes from Sister Wendy's Story of Painting,
a BBC Video. This is followed by two more episodes
from the Story of Painting, "Two Sides of the Alps"
and "Passion and Ecstasy," on 25 July 2007.

After a short break in early August for the 2007 Ateneo Art
Awards exhibition and awarding, Artscreen resumes on
15 August 2007 with "Byzantium: The Lost Empire" and on
29 August 2007 with a movie on the life of artist Jean
Michele Basquiat.
