Roberto Chabet (Philippines)
Onethingafteranother (2011)
G.I. sheets, halogen lamps Variable dimensions
Arguably the most influential Filipino artist of the postwar generation, Roberto Chabet led a movement grounded on conceptualism and experimentation. Using mostly ordinary and found material, he insists on a more inclusive approach to art, a search for the sublime not just in abstract ideas but also in the immediacy of the quotidian and the commonplace. In this installation, abstraction and the everyday collide, illuminating our presence in the greater continuum of time and space.
