"Pintô Manhattan Manila" will exhibit works by more than 30 contemporary Philippine artists for 24 hours beginning at 8:00 PM on Monday, May 22, 2017 and continuing until 8:00 the following evening at Urban Zen, 711 Greenwich Street (between Charles and West Tenth Streets) New York City. The space will become a portal to the Philippines with special programming throughout the night featuring skype conversations between New York and Manila. The works will be sold to benefit the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) ’s Philippines Program and The Pintô Art Museum.

This exhibition is curated by Federico De Vera in conjunction with Pintô’s founder Dr. Joven Cuanang, the art historian Patrick Flores, and Dr. Luca Parolari. Pintô International seeks to present Philippine contemporary art beyond the borders of Asia in the manner envisioned by the philosophy of the Pintô Art Museum, both via their online gallery, and with forthcoming exhibitions in Milan, Paris, and Tokyo.

The artists represented by Pintô cover the wide range of aesthetics unique to the Philippines. Their styles include Surrealism, Expressionism, Minimalism, Social Realism and Conceptual Art, all with an attention to identity and rootedness. Their themes and subjects are both universal and product of the unique historical and cultural experience of being Filipino.
