ARTISTIC CONCEPT VI:MU is based on the following principles: •

We want to offer a museum without limitations, taking advantage of today’s opportunities in terms of reproduction (full 3D) and interactivity.

•

We want to foster the knowledge and understanding of Primitive art, most notably of the Traditional Art of the Philippine Cordilleras.

•

We want to show the common aesthetic principles, the vocabulary and language of art, used by peoples of various continents and epochs, both of (and juxtaposing) Primitive and modern/contemporary art.

•

The guiding principle of the language of art which VI:MU is interested in relates to simplicity and the power connected with it.

VENAZIR MARTINEZ AT VI:MU AsianArt:Future has retained the Banaue street muralist Venazir Martinez to create the project Fragments of Hila-Bana. Her famous series of public art is found in Baguio City, Philippines, entitled Hila-bana, temporary stitching, unified by the red string concept portraying anthropological figures of the collective identities of the Cordilleras. She has been visually reformulating and developing this creative voyage in tune with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and Harnisch Foundation in New York. Martinez's creative process delved into the influence of Filipino indigenous knowledge and links it with our contemporary mindset through the lenses of our multitudinous identities.

Her works are inspired from empirically immersive historical and cultural unearthing on the multiplicity of spatial planes present in the human psyche. Her style captures the realistic representations of indigenous peoples and customs.

See more at: https://www.venazir.com We very much look forward to Martinez’s installation, and we will create a separate museum for this.

Opening: April 2022.
