The CCP collections, now on your screens!

The two other significant collections which the VAMD manages are the Museo ng Kalinangang Pilipino Collection and the Collection of Asian Traditional Musical Instruments which are both housed at the permanent exhibit space in the 4th floor of the CCP Main Theater Building.

In case you missed the announcement from CCP Website or CCP Facebook Page, this same area will be the location of the inaugural exhibit of 21AM, which is a new museum that the CCP is working towards. Be sure to watch out for it!

The Museo ng Kalinangang Pilipino Collection showcases significant Filipino artistic traditions and explores the development of Philippine art and aesthetics in the socio-cultural context. The Collection of Asian Traditional Musical Instruments, on the other hand, includes various traditional musical instruments that were acquired from 1969 to 1986 through donations to the CCP by the countries represented: Indonesia, Japan, China, and Korea. The Philippine musical instruments were donated by National Artist for Music Dr. Lucrecia R. Kasilag (1918-2008), a former president of the CCP.

The road to 21AM: CCP announces the de-installation of the pinaing and sunduk exhibitions

A new museum initiated by the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) will be developed and built over a period of a few years. It marks CCP’s 50th anniversary this year, which will have a year-long celebration from September 2019 to September 2020.

The new museum is named 21AM, a 21st century art museum.

21AM was greenlighted as a contemporary art museum that, among other important tasks, addresses the relationship of 21st century artistic idioms and traditional Philippine art. Both physical and intellectual infrastructures for such a museum concept will be built.

It will first reside on the CCP 4th floor space, which housed CCP’s Museo ng Kalinangang Pilipino (MKP) since the latter was established in 1987.

Scheduled for inauguration in May 2020, the concept and initial exhibitions of 21AM will replace the MKP.

Two of exhibits of the MKP are set to be dismantled this month: the exhibit of guardian rocks or pinaing of the Tingguian people in Peñarrubia town, Abra province and the exhibit of grave-markers or sunduk of the Sama Dilaut people in Santa Cruz Island, off of Zamboanga City.

The demounting and storage of the cultural materials will take place after two traditional rites have been performed by leaders from the respective indigenous groups: the pinaing exhibit on October 2; the sunduk exhibit on October 11.

For the pinaing, the son of the ritualist who prayed over the transfer of the materials in 1987, was the central participant. He was joined by family members of the original Tingguian group.

For the sunduk, a Sama ritualist, who is also an imam or a Muslim leader, will conduct the rite of transfer to storage. Among the participants from the Sama area are descendants of at least one individual buried on Santa Cruz Island. Most of the markers have been separated from these graves by a voracious antiquities trade.

While only semi-public, these rituals are held as an official part of the museological procedures covering the managed transition from MKP to 21AM as two different institutions.

The MKP was installed in 1987 with the assistance and collaboration of a number of traditional societies. It is in this connection that the rituals are being held.

The MKP had a section on Tingguian/Itneg dance/ritual. This section consisted of a ritual lay-out composed of ceramic jars, parts of important plants, coconut bowls, an old knife, and the deeply meaningful juxtaposition of textile-and-spear. The pinaing was also incorporated in this section.

The pinaing consisted the entirety of these important cultural markers for the Tingguian of Peñarrubia. They were brought to the MKP, instead of sale to international antique dealers. They became part of the then newly formed CCP collection of materials related to traditional performance. A group of Tingguian arranged these cultural materials in the space allocated by the 1987 curatorial plan. A Tingguian ritualist conducted rites to allow for a good transition from Abra to the MKP.

In contrast, the sunduk exhibited at the MKP were originally extracted by antique dealers from Santa Cruz Island in the 1980s. These are the boat-shaped forms marking the graves of the Sama people. They were trafficked into the Manila antiquities market from where they were acquired by the CCP. At the MKP, they were exhibited atop the pink sand of crushed coral that was transported by the CCP from Santa Cruz Island as well.

These small, quiet events take place as an exercise in ethical museology and curatorship. It represents the intent of 21AM to recognize the need to formulate an ethics of collecting and display based on deep relationships with the involved communities. To become a truly advanced contemporary art museum with a particular mission to involve traditional art and artists in expressions of contemporariness, 21AM commences its institutional life with these ritual events as part of collections management.

21AM is being conceptualized and developed by Marian Pastor Roces, the independent curator who also established the MKP. The museum-development corporation which she heads, TAOINC, has been commissioned by the CCP to implement the plans, starting with the dismantling of the MKP exhibition; the bringing together of both ethnographic and art collections in a unified inventory, and in the future, the storage; and implementing the plans for the preliminary, inaugural exhibition in 2020.

The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) has maintained its thrust of promoting contemporary visual expressions and has earned a reputation for accommodating non-commercial, innovative, and even controversial projects and exhibits.

In support of this, the VAMD offers grants in the form of free use of exhibit space and curatorial assistance to encourage, initiate, support and sustain creativity and artistic excellence in the visual arts.

Season's Greetings from the CCP Visual Arts and Museum Division!

As 2019 comes to a close, the CCP Visual Arts and Museum Division looks back on the year that was. 

The VAMD presented thirty exhibitions in total this year. Of those, thirteen were solo exhibits and seventeen were group shows. Fifteen exhibits were those presented with partner artist groups and cultural organizations, ten were venue grants, and five were CCP produced exhibitions. Ten of the shows included artists based outside Metro Manila, and four had international artists. Seven were exhibitions by women artists or were women-centered, while nine were exhibitions by male artists only. Twenty of the total number of exhibits for the year included works by women artists. Many forms of art were presented in our exhibitions this year, including design, literature, printmaking, puppetry, comics, etc., but the most represented this year were installation (in nine exhibitions), new media/video (in seven exhibitions), and photography (in four exhibitions). 

The VAMD had twenty-three public programs this year, and all were free of charge. Four were Arts Online activities in partnership with the CCP Arts Education Department. Eight were artist talks/panel discussions/lectures, seven were workshop/demos, three were exhibit walk-throughs, and two were performances. Seven were tailored for a specific audience, namely 6-15 year old’s, senior high school students, art educators, and museum workers, while the other programs were open to all. Of the twenty, fifteen included not just male resource persons. Only two included artists from outside Metro Manila, and five of the activities included artists from abroad.

We will continue to monitor these statistics and invite the artistic community to help us better them in the coming years.

The VAMD presented a number of other activities as well, including the highly successful Museum Mile Tour during the CCP’s Pasinaya Festival, and the Earth Day Outdoor installation featuring The Cry of the Dead Whale. We lent artworks from the CCP Visual Arts Collection to five exhibitions in museums in Manila and Singapore. We published four new publications this year - Cultural Cache: Selected Works from the Visual Arts Collection of the CCP, and catalogs from our exhibitions Last Full Show, Saturday Group Gold, and Poster/ity. The VAMD also facilitated two de-installation rituals in line with the re-development of the Museo ng Kalinangang Pilipino, which was formally announced this year as transitioning into the contemporary art museum 21AM. 2019 also marked the start of our new program, the QRated CCP D-I-Y Tour.

These are just a few of the more visible endeavors of the VAMD, all of which would not be possible without the exceptional help of the artists, curators, educators, cultural workers, and institutional partners that we worked with this year. We are wholeheartedly grateful for your continued support and we commend the good work that you do in the service of Philippine art and culture.

Maligayang pasko at manigong bagong taon!
