Under the banner of MuseumMAN, Nankervis has been assembling an open cabinet of curiosities manifesting into a unique form of a lived in museum in Berlin, Liverpool, and Valparaiso Chile. A temporal home for artists and visitors alike, MAN is a space for a menagerie of spatial interventions.
Also screening will be "Manila Bay with David" by Jon Cuyson, Dominic Mangila, Ivan Sarenas, and Rafael Laurel. A re-imagining of David Medalla's painting and prose-poem "Night Fishing on Manila Bay", currently exhibited in Event Horizon, an exquisite corpse of delicately balanced memory, recollection, and aesthetic influence creates a layered dialogue stretching from London to Manila to New York in this filmwork of poetic vignettes.
