Auditorium of the UP College of Mass Communication
The Museum Foundation of the Philippines presents the next installment of their “Stories About Philippine Art” Lecture Series:
“OBRA MAESTRA MAMERA”
Dr. Roland Tolentino will discuss how art is made original or one-of-a-kind, how it transposes from the aesthetic to the commercial, anthropological, folk, kitsch and touristic. Prof Reuben Cañete, for his part, will delineate the development of an aesthetics of “mass sacralization” done by museums to address the shift of marketing focus from elite to mass audience.
