<br />
Last Friday (on February 27), in the late afternoon when the sun wasn't as harsh, Brisa and I worked at the field at the same time. Friends Alee and Romina came by.<br />
<br />
It was our tenth day of work there and it was supposed to be our last but we weren't quite satisfied with what we had done so far so we decided to work a few days more.<br />
<br />
Prior to this day, I had worked at the field for two non-consecutive days and was unable to take photographic documentation as I had no camera and no photographer friends were able to make it. This made me really consider the importance of documentation in performative projects and how one sees and values <i>working</i> and <i>work</i> when "the audience" might not see them in person or in photographs and even on social media.Les Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17736991529705654190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766751297289723036.post-87720075144439445202015-02-24T17:00:00.003+08:002015-02-24T17:06:15.668+08:00DAY 8 : Exactly a week and a day! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was a festal Sunday. Families were having a picnic near
our installation, the reason why Les Lee’s landscape was slightly ruined by the
visitors around. Luckily, A Japanese kid was guided by his Mother to repair Les Lee’s line and finish it straightaway. He
was so cute and cuddly!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, my good friend Joash visited the site and helped me document
all the progress of my work. While talking to him I noticed that some part of
my formation was imbalanced to the landscape I was creating. I removed it and
focused on the tiled rocks arrangements instead. <o:p></o:p></div>

Joash and I spent the afternoon taking photos of each other.
We finished the day with a kiss!<o:p></o:p></div>

First, I observed all the rocks we collected. I immediately had an interest with the cement and tile rubbles. In two days, I sort and form all according to familiar areas at home.

The rocks are on-site!<br />
<br />
Brisa and I (with the help of Kuya Reggie, Kuya Chris, and this huge payloader) spent the afternoon transporting everything we had gathered at the Stud Farm last week onto the open field by the College of Mass Communication (a.k.a. "Hippie Hill"). We start work there tomorrow!Les Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17736991529705654190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766751297289723036.post-14466834865223438612015-02-13T21:56:00.001+08:002015-02-13T22:02:34.106+08:00Day 3, Old Stud Farm<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This afternoon, a group of kids from the area came by and decided they also wanted to collect rocks and play with our hair. </div>

We continue to gather rocks and other debris at the Old Stud Farm to be transferred to the open field by the College of Mass Communication (visible from the Academic Oval) later in the week. Once we have these materials onsite, we will proceed with the project of creating structures and forms there on a daily basis with the two of us working on alternate days until the end of February.</div>

Working on what is readily available, Rapt recreates the landscape from and within itself. <br /><br />The artists’ full involvement in the creation of the work recalls the mental, spiritual and bodily involvement of ancient builders and workers, of entire communities undertaking the construction of monuments and monoliths to honor and worship an unseen force that presides over their lives. Here, nature is art and art is nature, its inspiration and maker both divine. In this respect, the willfulness to involve and immerse oneself body, heart, and soul into creating is an expression of complete investment: a gesture of affection for the space and for those who will see and interact with the work.<br /><br />Brisa Amir and Les Lee's performative open installation is located at the "Hippie Hill" beside the College of Mass Communication in front of Quezon Hall.<br /><br />Work starts on Feb 9 and continues till Feb 28. The artists will work onsite daily on alternate days.</span>Les Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17736991529705654190noreply@blogger.com0
