- 2. • Renowned art critic and Metropolitan Museum curator Dr. Patrick Flores describes Philippine contemporary art with “The feeling (is) that all is possible in the contemporary, conceived as a constantly extending and deepening constellation of art.” • Contemporary art then permits possibilities of exploring either subject or medium in art to express the Filipino sense of self. • Contemporary or modern art is not intended to be reduced to conventional notions or space and medium. Contemporary artists have brought their artworks into the street, in public, because in contemporary times, the main feat of any art primarily depends on how the art is able to connect with spectators.
- 3. Go around the Philippines and you will see a mixture of the old and the new. In Manila, the 16th century Binondo Church is just a few blocks away from the very modern Lucky Chinatown Mall. Each structure tells a story of how the art building was used to shape the course of history and society. Likewise, architecture in the country continues to be vibrant. With the improvement of tourism, more first-class architecture is expected to pour in.
- 4. • New and fresh structures are sprouting all over the country. Attributed to the designs made by the likes of Carlos A. Santos-Viola, Jason Buensalido, Angelo Mañosa, these structures are ultra-modern, functional, and aesthetically sound. • Architect an critic Paulo Alcazaren notes that today’s Philippine architecture is faced with threats from globalization. He remarks, “Much of what we see, in terms of iconic buildings in the Philippines nowadays, is either designed by foreigners, or derivative mimicking copies of western forms.” This is a serious challenge that present-day architects have to deal with, and it takes serious commitment from the architects, the government, and the private sector to act on it.

- 6. THEATER • Contemporary Philippine Theater is still alive despite the dominance of television, movies and the internet. There are multiple stage productions from university-based theater groups to major theater companies. The Tanghalang Pilipino and the Philippine Theater Association (PETA) annually stage memorable productions. PETA • PETA, which was founded in 1967 by Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, advocates the use of Filipino theater in inspiring change and development in society.

- 9. VISUAL ARTS • The new breed of contemporary Filipino visual artists is becoming bold regarding the expression of personal feelings and perspectives. The influence of radical and modern art movements in Europe and the Americas have penetrated the Philippine arts scene with the proliferation of installation and experimental art. The institutionalization of museums and galleries have also revitalized the Philippine art scene. • Annual art competitions also play an important role in encouraging emerging artists to create and produce their works. The Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. has been recognizing young talents in the visual arts for almost half a century. Some past winners of this competition who became National Artists include Jose Joya, Benedicto “BenCab” Cabrera, and Ang Kiukok. • Some notable works of art from this competition are Child Trafficking by Leomar C. Conejos, Juan’s Struggle sa Mundong Nobody’s Perfect by Ferd Angelo A. Failano, Tragic Bangus by Rene S. Sibulangcal (digital art), and Bandilang Di Tumutumba by Melvin G. Anglaser. These works of art are reflection of social and environmental issues.
