Featuring the work of contemporary artists
Alice & Lucinda (Yasmin Sison and Lena Cobangbang)
Alfredo Juan Aquilizan
Ikoy Ricio
With video work by Swedish artist Annika Eriksson, 'Collectors' (1998)
courtesy of the Moderna Museet, Stockholm
And the private collections of
Jonathan Best and Raymond Red
FIXATION: NOTIONS OF OBSESSION marks the very first time that certain
aspects of the Lopez Museum collection act as inspiration, framework and
counterpoint for contemporary art practice of Yasmin Sison and Lena
Cobangbang as Alice and Lucinda; Alfredo Juan Aquilizan; and Ikoy Ricio. The
museum's collection also provides resonance to Jonathan Best's photographic
collection and Raymond Red's action figure collection, enabling viewers to
discuss the finer points of fusing highbrow culture with that of pop. The
exhibition also marks the first time a work of a foreign artist is used to
highlight the intricacies of collecting, further empowering the collector to
heed his/her passion for the accumulation of a specific object and the
fulfillment of a certain need. Annika Eriksson's video work, Collectors
(1998) comes to the Lopez Museum courtesy of Stockholm's museum of modern
art, the Moderna Museet.
