photographs with a series of lights to add dimension to the exhibit.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the boxes are pictures of places where we were meant to do the projects, in the slum in the Philippines, I took the photos myself and included boxes that were traditionally used to measure out rice at markets in the area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like the idea of bringing one place with the boxes as a container to contrast between the two different places.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the bottles, I\u2019ve been working with plastic as a material for quite a long time, doing this sort of distort the shape of the milk bottles by blowing bubbles in it, then I add lights to them and put them on at night.\u201d<\/p>\n
Working alongside artists who typically utilise street scapes and drains as their canvas, Pasilan said it was interesting to see them work to the galleries boundaries and meet the challenge of adapting their work to the space.<\/p>\n
\u201cI gave them the measurements of the wall and said to them that they had to collaborate together and talk about the work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe name Colorum comes from the Philippines word which has to do with when something\u2019s illegal, like a public transport car with no license, or a squatter, that would be called Colorum.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis idea reflects with the street art as that is considered illegal vandalism in some cases, that\u2019s why the artists have their alias\u2019 and why I even came up with one for myself, D Stryker.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the trio have totally different approaches to making art, Pasilian said this is a good way to start blending the two and that he hopes to do more in the future.<\/p>\n
Walk by the exhibit anytime or pop inside and see for yourself on Fridays from 5pm to 7pm or Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 4pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
