CONTEMPORARY ART
Art plays a significant part in the rich cultural identity of the Philippines. It mirrors the
Filipino people, it’s history, tradition and country. Art forms in the different parts of the
archipelago, when integrated, gives a clear picture of what kind of country the Philippines is
and what kind of people the Filipinos are. These art forms developed from the early times
continue to evolve from the ethnic tradition, it continues to progress to contemporary art
tradition.
Contemporary art is the art of today, produced by artists who are living in our time. It
provides opportunities to reflect on society and the issues that are important to us and the
world. As a Filipino, one should have the knowledge of the different forms of art in the
Philippines to fully grasp its identity as a nation and to completely embrace oneself as a citizen
of the country.
Lessons and activities in this section will help the students to have an understanding
and appreciation of the Philippine arts specifically of the contemporary Philippine arts. This

learning in the different forms of contemporary arts in the Philippines. Please guide the
learners in exploring each activity. Answers are written at the back of this module. Constant
reminder of the word “honesty” will make the learners reliable.
I. Pre - Conquest
In art historical terms, we refer to art before the coming of the first colonizers as pre-
conquest. In stylistic terms, we refer to it as “indigenous” to emphasize the idea that our
ancestors have been making art even before colonization. It is also described in cultural terms
as “pre-colonial” as a term to use for the general way of life before colonization.
Art of the ancient Filipinos were woven into the fabric of everyday life. They did not
distinguish forms into different categories like music, theater, visual arts, etc. Everyday
expressions were all integrated within rituals that marks significant moments in a community’s
life, like planting and harvesting, rites of passage, funerary ceremonies, weddings, among
others. Aside from the communal functionality of indigenous art, creative forms such as
pottery, weaving, carving, metalwork and jewelry also embody aesthetic, technological and
ritual values that exist in the various forms with the present.
8
II. Islamic Colonial (13th century to present)
It was in the arrival of Sayyid Abbubakar of Arabia in the 15th century that led to a
significant turn of events. He married Princess Piramisuli, daughter of Rajah Baguinda. When
his father-in-law died, Abubakar succeeded the throne and established the Sultanate of Sulu.
Aside from introducing holy texts via the holy book of Quran and building a house of prayer,
Abubakar was recognized for building religious school, also known as the “madrasa” that
facilitated the teaching of Arabic writing in the 16th century. As the Islamization process in
Mindanao strengthened, Islam became the driving force that enabled the natives to resist
centuries of Spanish colonization. Islam was embraced as a religion and as a way of life by
the people of Mindanao, among them, the Tausug, Maranao, Maguindanao, Yakan, Samal,
Badjao, to name a few; as well as some areas in Palawan.

IV. American Colonial Period (1898 - 1940) to the Postwar Republic (1946 - 1969)
With the coming of the Americans, Filipino playwrights who had just undergone the
Philippine Revolution of 1898 against Spain now found themselves confronted by censorship
with the issuance of the Sediton Law which banned the writing, printing and publication of
materials advocating Philippine independence, and engaging in activities which championed
this cause. Plays such as Juan Abad’s Tanikalang Guinto or “Golden Chain”, 1902 Juan
Matapang Cruz’s Hindi ako Patay or “I Am Not Dead”, 1903 and Aurelio Tolentino’s Kahapon,
Ngayon, at Bukas or “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow”, 1903 echoed not only the nationalists
sentiments of their playwrights but also served as medium for political protest, openly
attacking the Americans. Known as drama simbolico, these one-act plays came to represent
a deep and profound yearning for freedom.

V. 70’s to Contemporary
Under the helm of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos beginning in 1965, many cultural
projects ensued amid the backdrop of poverty and volatile social conditions. Amidst claims of
national chaos of emergency proportions, Martial Law was declared on September 2, 1972.
Marcos envisioned a New Society or Bagong Lipunan, which worked toward the rebirth of a
long-lost civilization, on one hand, and aspiration to modernization and development, on the
other. This vision was propagated and implemented through an art and culture program that
combined the fine arts, architecture, interior design, tourism, convention city building,
engineering, urban planning, health, among many others. The discourse of rebirth can also
be discerned in the anthem or songs the regime sponsored and circulated through the media
and public education channels. The optimism toward a new beginning was articulated for
example, in Levi Celerio and Felipe Padilla de Leon’s composition for the New Society titled
Bagong Pagsilang.

Contemporary Art is distinguishable from Modern Art in historical, stylistic, and cultural
terms. The most common Characteristics of Contemporary Art revolve around their being
site-specific, process-based, collaborative and interactive. However, there are also artists who
use a mixture of contemporary, indigenous, Islamic, popular and traditional art forms, media
and content. This mixing and combining of many elements make us understand our own
culture--- itself a mix of many different cultures and histories. Contemporary Art is never fixed,
but open to many possibilities. The different places in the Philippines are home to rich and
varied artforms, most of them unknown even to us who live next to them. Others like Bacani
live and work in other lands, which is also one of the realities of Contemporary Philippines. To
study and appreciate the contemporary is to experience and understand art as a window to
Philippine contemporary life.
STYLISTIC OVERVIEW
Aside from style, it is also very useful to know where the artists are coming from and
the circumstances of making and disseminating their art. With the table titled Cultural
Overview, we can see that Contemporary Artists Bacani and Cajipe-Endaya belong to different
contexts. The latter has been exhibited in galleries and museums, just like the Modern Artists,
or Moderns, for short. Bacani on the other hand, started exhibiting her works in internet
platforms like blogs and caught the attention of photographers. She soon became very popular
in social, print, and broadcast media. Now that she is exhibited in museum and gallery space,
her work has now crossed over to domain of the Fine Arts.

Iban Saudi Salipyasin Ahmad from Zamboanga, Mindanao comes from a hybrid
mixture of the local Subanen and traditional Maguindanao Muslim cultures. He is a
contemporary artist but his cultural context is indigenous Southeast Asian and Philippine
Muslim. His style can be considered traditional as it draws on the tradition and intricacy of
drafting technique, which he learned in a trade school in Zamboanga. His medium is
watercolor. His subject matter is the people of his locality. His depictions invite us to witness
his culture and its traditions in the context of today’s changing times.
Although contemporary artists like Saudi Ahmad continue to use traditional media such
as watercolor and oil on canvas, others like Cajipe-Endaya used mixed media. Some works
are also site-specific, meaning they cannot be experienced in the same way if removed from
their original places of exhibit whether in the gallery, out on the streets, in the forest, on the
internet, etc. They are generally process-based and integrate various mediums and artforms.
For example, the band Sleepyheads integrates performance art, theatricality and indie music
on their gigs.
The filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik and his family perform their life as their art and vice
versa, as evident in art spaces in Baguio which have become associated with a mix of
performance, installation, architecture and culinary arts. It is hard to separate the artists from
his space of practice and his lifework. However, the output is not his alone. The process is
collaborative, and the experience is immersive and interactive, such that the art is never
complete without the audience’s active input.
A lot of contemporary art may be collaborative/participative, interactive, and process-
oriented, meaning that there is less emphasis on the finished product and a single “author” or
creator. There is a wide range of strategies, media and techniques under the term
Contemporary Art.
