Project Glocal 2012 | Manila Singapore Bangkok Hong Kong

None projectglocal2012 is a cross cultural multi-locale art project that ushers conversations between "city" artists from Bangkok, HongKong, Manila and Singapore through a series of small talks and exhibits in the four cities. This project's main objective is to explore intersections of city living as habits, traditions and imagined realities at a time when boundaries between local and global becomes blurred by econo-airfares, the internet and other vehicles of physical, cerebral and social diaspora. The project opened in July 2011.  It was formally launched through a satellite exhibit+talk titled SMALL TALK: CONVERSATION OF CITIES at Tin-aw Gallery (www.tin-aw.com) in January 13, 2012.  This is to be followed by another satellite exhibit+talk titled HABIT FORMING at Artinformal (www.artinformal.com) in May 31, 2012.  Two major exhibit+public forum will be held at University of the Philippines' Jorge Vargas Museum (vargasmuseum.wordpress.com) in October 11 and Singapore Art Museum 8Q(www.singaporeartmuseum.sg) in November 16, 2012.  2013 activities will be discussed in October .
