Winners of 2007 Ateneo Art Awards bared

Philippine - The 2007 Ateneo Art Awards, the country‘s premier contemporary art prize, were conferred on three young Filipino visual artists for their outstanding contribution to the definition and development of modern and contemporary Philippine art at a formal ceremony at the Rockwell Tent last August 8 following the 2007 Ateneo Art Awards exhibition at the North Court, Power Plant Mall last August 2 to 7.

The three winners are Lyle Buencamino for the exhibition "A Bowtie for John Lyle" at Mag:net ABS, Wawi Navarroza for the exhibition "Saturnine: A Collection of Portraits, Creatures, Glass & Shadow" at the Silverlens Gallery and MM Yu for the exhibition "Thoughts Collected, Recollected" at Finale Art Gallery.

The winners were also each bestowed with the Ateneo Art Gallery
International Studio Residency Grant, the only program of its kind organized by a Philippine cultural institution. Buencamino received the
Ateneo Art Gallery - La Trobe University Bendigo, Australia Residency Grant, Navorroza the Ateneo Art Gallery - Artesan Gallery Singapore Residency Grant and Yu the Ateneo Art Gallery - Common Room Bandung, Indonesia Residency Grant. It provides them with roundtrip airfare, allowance, accommodation and a work studio for three weeks, as well as an invitation to exhibit at their respective host venues.

The other artists short-listed for the awards were Racquel de Loyola, Bembol dela Cruz, Nona Garcia, Winner Jumalon, Yasmin Sison, Jay Ticar, Mac Valdezco and Jevijoe Vitug.

The theme for this year‘s exhibition, Global/Vernacular, is recognition and credence, acknowledging Philippine art has its own nuances yet believing it moves beyond local context to reverberate cross-culturally.

The theme realizes the question of national identity in the face of increasing globalization and the challenge to increase the profile of Filipino art and artists abroad.

Ateneo Art Awards 2007: Global/Vernacular is presented by the
Ateneo Art Gallery together with Unionbank, Metro Society, Power Plant Mall, Rockwell Land, Smart Gold and Y Style with the support of Artesan Gallery, Common Room Networks Foundation, Arts Network Asia, La Trobe University Bendigo, Timbuk2 and Absolut Vodka. The exhibition runs at the Ateneo Art Gallery from Aug. 21 to Sept. 24. 2007.
