The application deadline is September 15th, 2008.

Theme: The Box Unfolded
The Box Unfolded is a juried exhibition for the promotion of International Filipino contemporary art, ideas and culture. Established and emerging Filipino artists, as well as International Artists addressing contemporary Filipino culture, are asked to create works within a box-like space relating to the issue of cultural identity/identities. New media art, short films, sound installation, installation, photography, painting, street art, digital art, sculptures and mixed media are acceptable types of art.
The Box Unfolded exhibition is inspired by the “balikbayan / returnees box”. Within this exhibition each artist will propose to create their work in one of the 15 available spaces provided. In this case, we would like to the artists to treat each space as their own balikbayan box. However, instead of embellishing their boxes with typically favored items such as clothes, toys, and chocolates, these contemporary artists are asked to fill, unfold and exchange their personal experiences of being a Filipino living in Hong Kong, the Philippines and Abroad.
During the opening venue, artist communities from Hong Kong and Manila will come together through full scale live video feed and celebrate Filipino culture with a guest DJ and performance art. Three weekend evening events will be scheduled to attract the Hong Kong public to the exhibit. The scheduled events will include film screenings, live painting and live music performances. In addition to the exhibit, a shop gallery area will be included selling designer Filipino urban fashion and accessories.
