Thinking Outside of the Qube

In this podcast, we talk to the artists of the current exhibit "Ban.yu.hay" (which translates to metamorphosis in English). Artists Antonio Pastoriza and Meatfist, and curator Gwen Bautista discuss how the exhibit came to be while tackling topics like nationality. Unfortunately, artist Kevin Roque could not participate in this podcast.   Listen in to hear about how Ban.yu.hay was conceptualized and planned, from the moment they met,  the influences they had throughout their work, and how it all came together.

TRNZ (@trnzwho) is a visual artist based in Manila, apart of the Camping Trip 2 Exhibition. In this podcast, TRNZ talks to us about his art roots - from Magic the Gathering cards to his favorite piece he created. TRNZ reveals to us how he remains motivated to paint and how graphic design from his advertising days still imprints in his work today. With a very iconic style, TRNZ describes how exactly the Loons and Baby Blue Eyes came to be. Have a listen, and have a look at TRNZ's work!

Talking with artist Mark Santos, otherwise known as Mister Sasquatch or Mr S (@mister_sasquatch), we find out more about his art evolution (as well as how his name evolution as we found out the reason behind the name "Mister Sasquatch").  The talk ranges from his inspirations, his aspirations, and his evolution - to also his cats (who happened to jump in frame during our call)! Hope you enjoy this podcast!

In this podcast, Reen Barrera (@reerustart) dives in deep by discussing the meaning of each element of his iconic Ohlala Dolls. Can you guess how they got the name? Come and listen to the podcast, where Reen indulges us with the story behind his famous doll. He also tells us about how before he created priceless art, he created mini-toys out of crumpled paper. He also reveals his original collectors (who may or may not have kept these crumpled paper statues).

Like every camping trip, there must be stories told around the campfire! In this episode of the "Camping Trip Series", we digitally do that by talking to the curator and artists of "Camping Trip II" JT Gonzalez, Reen Barrera, Terence "TRNZ" Eduarte, Mark Santos (a.k.a Mister Sasquatch"). Particularly, they tell us tales of  how Camping Trip came to be and about their memories regarding Cebu and their art careers. 

This is Episode 1 of the Campfire Series as a way to get to know the artists of "Camping Trip II" through a digital forum. Through this podcast, we talk to the curator JT Gonzalez and artists Reen Barrera, Terrence "Trnz" Eduarte, and Mark Santos (or "Mister Sasquatch") about COVID-19 and how it has shaped their exhibit and art.
