Sangviaje at Art Informal

Fresh from their successful group exhibitions in Singapore and Malaysia, the six young visual artists from Antipolo, collectively known as Sangviaje — Jaypee Samson, Guerrero Habulan, Joven Mansit, John Paul Antido, Edric Daniel and Dennis Fortozo — presents “Putahe,” their fourth group exhibition currently on view at Art Informal.

Sangviaje explores the intertwining relevance of food with culture and society. For the artist group, the subjective premise is: “You are what you eat.” They take this a step further in considering food as determinants of history’s pedagogical system, religious perspectives, social structures, economics and globalization, politics and instinctive communal survival as part of the big picture. From the first stage of food preparation down to its consumption, food distinctively distresses positions of individual persona as much as cultural identity.  

Sangviaje analytically and satirically traverses the notion of food as culture and culture as food and what distinguishes it from other phenomena.
