Art Studies UP Diliman

This unit was tasked to teach art appreciation in the style of the University of Chicago. Moreno, all distinguished artists and men and women of letters.

In 1959, when the Department of English split into three units, the Department of Humanities and Philippine Institutions was one of the new departments to emerge. The pioneers of the program included Aurelio Estanislao, Eliseo Pajaro, Leticia Ramos-Shahani, Ricaredo Demetillo and Virginia R. In 1964, an A.B. Humanities Degree was instituted. By 1989, most of the members of the department were at t

he forefront of research in Philippine Art. There was a dramatic shift in art writing that had been focused on the fine arts. The study of art now included the creative endeavors of marginalized Philippine communities as well as popular art forms. The faculty changed its name to the Department of Art Studies to reflect the new approaches and paradigms required in these areas. Currently, the Department of Art Studies administers three Baccalaureate degrees in Art Studies (Art History, Interdisciplinary and Philippine Art) and three Master of Arts degrees (Art History, Art Theory and Criticism and Museum Studies). It also offers three General Education courses, Art Studies 1 (Art and Society), Art Studies 2 (Art in Everyday Life) and Humanities 2 (Art, Man and Society).

In this installation, Cathy Lasam Ballo presents a work composed entirely of woven paper—Filipino education policies, Department of Education memoranda, discarded textbooks - stacked, coiled, twisted, and woven together to form a net. 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘁 examines and comments on the intertwined relationships between policy, Filipino social values and neoliberal discourses on employment and the resulting valuation of the arts in education. It explores the ways in which these create complex, layered, and rigid literal and metaphorical structures, and in turn invites its audience to do the same.

The audience's participation in the work will be observed, documented, and will become part of the artist's academic research.

'Ginhawa and our Sacred Ecologies'
is an exhibit enframed within the diverse expressive aesthetics of ginhawa, and the necessities of its existence – of deep ease and balance, one that welcomes sacred rest, regenerative quiet, reflective moments and time-out in order to ‘tune-in’ to our inner and outer sacred ecologies – as pathways to reclaim our self-autonomy and sovereignty in an increasingly discordant, autogenerated, digital-based world. Through acts of slow-existence, the sacred silence and ginhawa that co-mingle in these works, we are reminded how the multidisciplinary arts can offer us vital spaces to just be, to breathe, to gather back life, within ourselves and our vital ecoscapes – and perhaps forego, even for a while, the burgeoning tyranny of the digital, the instant but fleeting notifications of our times.
