Through obsessive repetition and sometimes through the large scale of the crate works or the super formal plinth presentation of the fruit mesh works, I feel like I insist on the presence and relevance of these objects normally discarded or disregarded,” Coson continues. “By reframing what is familiar, we are able to see it again as if upon first glance, allowing the subjects to oscillate in and out of recognition. I hope to encourage the viewer to take a pause, a prolonged gaze at the glimpses of our everyday lives, to contemplate the layers of history and meaning embedded within things.”

"This place has a lot of function—his workshop and it's also a home, the place where I grew up." —Hanna Pettyjohn. In this video, father and daughter artists, Jon and Hanna Pettyjohn, discuss their duo exhibition 'Reflections, in situ' which foregrounds the environment around and within the Pettyjohn studio in Pansol, Laguna, where Jon and his wife Tessy have lived and worked for over four decades. Untangling how the story of domestic familiarity impacts this collection of collaborative artworks, is one of the many charms of this exhibition.

In this video, Filipino artist Pow Martinez is joined by Silverlens founder and co-director Isa Lorenzo for a chat about his ongoing solo exhibition, Junk DNA, at Silverlens New York. An expressive painter, Martinez combines the mundanities of everyday life with elements of pop culture, resulting in a comically distorted and satirical portrait of American hard- and soft-power in the Philippines, social media, culture, and the art market.
