In line with the recently-launched Portals, Ateneo Art Gallery presents an ArtSpeak program featuring artists Ged Merino and Aze Ong of GedAze Project on July 11 (Thursday), 2:00 PM at the Ben Chan ArtSuite, 2F Ateneo Art Gallery, Soledad V Pangilinan Arts Wing, Areté.

Drawn together by their background as people raised around fabric, Ged Merino and Aze Ong established the GedAze Project to challenge the boundaries of textile through atypical approaches. Their most recent project is “Portals,” an interactive, ephemeral, and experimental outdoor installation featuring a fabric canopy composed of varied fiber and fabric textures, with several holes and openings incorporated in its design. In this ArtSpeak session, Merino and Ong discuss their artistic process, and other projects they have worked on together under the GedAze Project.

This program is organized in line with Portals by Ged Merino and Aze Ong, on view at the Wong Chu King Foundation Cove, Ateneo College Batch 1980 Cove, and Eli and Elizabeth Hubahib Cove at the Ignacio B Gimenez Amphitheatre, Areté.
