We’re low brow so, here’s Ana Verayo’s exhibit note instead: “Ana Verayo’s artistic attempt to take the edge off the conflict between memory and touch are saturated by the resonating acknowledgement of the human condition in which she channels this urgency to its most actual form. This installation is a pronouncement of as well as praise to Ana’s growing-up years, and her way of ultimately paying tribute to her home and loved ones.”

Vinyl on Vinyl is at The Collective on Malugay Street in Makati

SUNDAY

Deftones play Manila for the Koi No Yokan Tour
