Remembering the Great Master:
Works by Salvador Juban, Botong's Apprentice
3/F Alcove Gallery
Until January 7, 2013
National Artist Carlos "Botong" Francisco continues to inspire succeeding generations of local artists especially from his hometown, known as the Angono School. One of the artists that emulated and had worked with Botong through the years was Salvador Juban.
In celebration of Botong’s life, work, and influence on the 100th anniversary of his birth, the Yuchengco Museum presents the works of Salvador Juban, Angono artist and Botong Francisco’s longest-serving artist-assistant and protégé.
Remembering the Great Master features paintings, murals, sketches, and studies by Juban. Also on view is a special video interview with Juban, who shares his personal insights on Maestro Botong.
Remembering the Great Master is presented on the occasion of the Carlos "Botong" Francisco Centennial. |

Swiss Positions:
33 Takes on Sustainable Approaches to Building
3/F Bridgeway Gallery
Until January 10, 2013
Swiss Positions showcases photographs of 33 key Swiss construction projects which look into sustainable development. The projects range from the recreational to the infrastructural, the alpine to the rural, and from the urban to the suburban.
What all these architectural works have in common--whether viewed from a technological, organic, vernacular, bioclimatic, or social perspective--is that they interact with the setting in which they’ve been created.
Swiss Positions
is a traveling exhibit presented by the Swiss Embassy in celebration of 150 years of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Switzerland.
