Iggy Rodriguez’s “Kimi Imik”
RAOUL IGNACIO “Iggy” RODRIGUEZ unveils his first solo exhibit of
paintings and drawings at Blanc Compound Mandaluyong this November.
KIMI IMIK is a palindrome, not only of letters but inevitably, of
human conditions where the shifts between docile submission and the
stirrings of reaction or even of resistance are placed in mutual
confrontation. Within this space between reflections and deflections
is the void where Rodriguez stages his metaphors. KIMI IMIK is a play
on dreadful, as well as fantastic possibilities, which nonetheless
belie its guttural call for resolution.
Iggy Rodriguez was named by the Cultural Center of the Philippines as
Thirteen Artists Awardee in 2009. His art studies began as an
advertising major at UST College of Architecture and Fine Arts. Known
for his pen-and-ink drawings and the collaborative street art he
undertakes with the artists’ collective UGATLahi, Rodriguez crafts his
imagings from his own milieu and calling as community organizer and
activist. He is also a core member of TutoK.
The exhibit opens on Tuesday 6PM, November 10 at Blanc Compound
Mandaluyong. Blanc is located at 359 Shaw Boulevard Interior, Addition
Hills, Mandaluyong City. For more information, please call or sms
752-0032 / 0920-9276436, email info@blanc.ph or visit www.blanc.ph and

KIMI IMIK will run until November 30, 2009 and is co-produced by
slash/art artists’ initiatives.
