Contemporary
Performance
 Contemporary performance is hybrid work that
integrates text, dance, objects, music, costumes,
lighting, image, sound, sets, and vocal expression
into complex interactive systems.
 Contemporary performance collages are often
non-narrative, technically rigorous, and carefully
orchestrated anarchic chaos. They unsettle
perception, demand critical engagement from
audiences, address conceptual debates within
aesthetics, draw on a diverse range of cultural
interests, and bring pleasure to populations
across the globe.” (Morgan v. P. Pecelli)
Characteristics of
Contemporary Art
 Contemporary art mirrors contemporary
culture and society, offering teachers,
students, and general audiences a rich
resource through which to consider current
ideas and rethink the familiar.
 The work of contemporary artists is a

dynamic combination of materials,


methods, concepts, and subjects that
challenges traditional boundaries and defies
easy definition.

BIG IDEA

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF
ART IN THE PHILIPPINES
PRE – COLONIAL
(ETHNIC ARTS)
 In pre-colonial
Philippines, arts are for
ritual purposes or for
everyday use
SPANISH ERA
 Art became a
handmaiden of
religion, serving
to propagate the
Catholic faith
and thus support
the colonial order
at the same
time.
JAPANESE ERA
 Since the Japanese
advocated for the
culture of east Asia,
preference was
given to the
indigenous art and
traditions of the
Philippines. This
emphasized their
propaganda of Asia
belonging to Asians.
MODERN ERA
 Modern era in
Philippine art began
after world war 2
and the granting of
independence.
Writers and artists
posed the question
of national identity
as the main theme
of various art forms.
CONTEMPORARY ART
 Philippine
contemporary art
was an offshoot of
social realism
brought about by
martial law. Arts
became expression
of people’s aspiration
for a just, free, and
sovereign society.
The Subject of Art
 To create your own contemporary piece, you
must fully understand what makes an
artwork a true work of art. You must first
explore the subject of art.
 In visual design, there are different ways or

styles of depicting a subject. Get to know


these styles through the works of art of
various Filipino contemporary artist.
1. Realism. The first style is realism in which
the subject is done the way it actually looks.
An example of this is the painting of Araceli
Dans, the Bridal White.
2. Distortion. The artist uses his or her
imagination and alters the subject according
to his or her desire. A stylized work is a form
of distortion like Norma Belleza’s painting,
the Fiesta.
3. Abstraction. The artist breaks a part a
subject and rearranges it in a different
manner. The paintings of the National Artist
Vicente Manansala belong to this category.
4. Non Objectivism. In here, there is no
subject at all-just an interplay of pure
elements, like line, shape or color, and so on.
A good example of this is the painting of
Roberto Chabet which is on Acrylic paper.
