Approved by Pablo is a collaborative organisation that curates, produces, and instigates art. A new model for the art world fusing (and pushing) traditional gallery and museum based modes of practice. Giving artists the opportunity to curate entire events, each A(by)P project includes a programme of multi-sensory and all-encompassing experiences in which everyone can participate. Incorporating ar

tworks and installations, performances and theatre, workshops and films, gastronomy and symposium, A(by)P harnesses the energy and excitement of the ephemeral exhibition moment to make art and ideas accessible to all. Acting both as gallery and cultural project, A(by)P is currently presenting a series of exhibitions in partnership with London’s premier arts and cultural centre, Somerset House.

Alongside this mural is a new series of drawings on handmade paper, embedded with various organic matter gathered in Negros—including sugarcane pulp sourced from the same sugar mill complex that is the site of The Angry Christ. This bio-matter is enmeshed with a wax-resist technique that Ossorio utilized in a series of drawings made while working on the mural, which embodied a private perversity that couldn’t be expressed in the sacred space of the church.

The drawings have been unpacked and repacked, worked and reworked, on their journey from Negros to London, via Hong Kong and Manila, tracing the exigencies of the artists’ peripatetic movements. Presenting this project here in London draws the specificity of The Angry Christ into the global metropolis, underscoring an urgency to acknowledge those overlooked spaces that bear the harshest wounds from capitalist circulation.

Amy Lien and Enzo Camacho’s work departs from a remarkable church mural on the Philippine island of Negros commonly known as The Angry Christ. Painted in 1950 by the New York-based Filipino- American artist Alfonso Ossorio, this wild depiction of the Last Judgment adorns a chapel built to service the workers of an industrial sugar refinery. Both the refinery and chapel are still in use today.

Notes on “The Angry Christ” consists of fragmentary research notes transcribed over charcoal tracings of the mural on several walls in the gallery’s light-saturated upper stairwell. By engaging the act of copying as a mode of close study and interpretation, Lien & Camacho utilize the formal density of Ossorio’s original mural as a structural tool, sketching out a lush cosmology of queerness and Modernism, Catholicism and Communism, oligarchy and sugar that spirals outward from the The Angry Christ and its regional context. By following these threads forward into the present and tying them to live political struggles, the artists ask how The Angry Christ might be radically reprogrammed towards collective expressions of anger in our contemporary moment.

Refracted in divergent yet interlinking ways, Banal’s project continues his ongoing exploration into abstract and architectural mechanisms as well as the effects of state power and spectacle. Whilst comprised of various strands, the work centres around the Marcos-era architectural wonder and nightmare that is the Manila Film Center, built for the so-called “New Society” during the Marcos’ three- decade reign in the Philippines. Hastily constructed to provide a venue for the first Manila International Film Festival (MIFF) in January 1982, hundreds of construction workers are believed to have been buried within its walls as structures collapsed amidst rain and wind during the typhoon season of 1981 and solidified in quick-dry cement. Unravelling its haunted history and mythology of pageantry and power, corruption and death, stardom and surveillance, cultural patronage and undead labour, the trajectories and afterlives of the Manila Film Centre are thus made manifest by Banal through elements ranging from video, painting, text, and sculpture.

Another core aspect of the work explores the ways in which media is consumed in the Philippines today, specifically through the internet. Slowing the Brunei Gallery WIFI down to 1MPBS—accessible to the public through the MIFFED network (password MIFFED19) —replicates the internet speed of the Philippines, reportedly the slowest in Southeast Asia. Following the “Quasinternet”, a concept emphasising both the “lack of internet access and slow WIFI frequency” as much as its “homonormative and homonationalist content [...]”, Banal explores the buffering architectonics and belated dark technology present in this local context in relation to the spectres of MIFF and the Manila Film Center itself. @ Brunei Gallery, School of Oriental and African Studies
