PSP's EqWallateral Exhibit opened last August 8 at the Light and Space Contemporary Gallery. The exhibit features works by PSP members in triangular canvasses and murals.
Their statement is published below along with some photos.
"Long before, the triangle has been associated
with many cultural significance, it is simple yet it means a lot of
things. But for some, it is a bond made by individuals, creating an
exact parallel distinction to provide pathways for limitless
creativity. It can withstand any situation, for every side is sure and
strong. This is how Pilipinas Street Plan sees the triangle.
It became a
common representation of the group's distinctiveness in being an open
collective, restructuring the shape with a new meaning as an effect.
But having everyone in an objective is a complex notion; individuals
will always have their own force in what they need or felt doing. Yet,
they enter with an initiative to lay an open table. Other's aspirations
might have these gathered ideas for a more concrete result leading into a
robust community. To this, these individuals will now find it easy to
congregate with the same principle and create endless possibilities for
the rise of the same intent. With their creations, many will be
influenced and in time; form a new group with the same goal. They are
bound by an idea strong enough to free art; art that the people own to
understand and truly open themselves to this movement. Every wall will
tell us a story as we walk with them on the street. They will leave us
wondering how, but never why. And however we see them; we’re always
affected by the freedom of these creations as they ascend from the
stride of the ordinary. Tonight, we will be enveloped by the different
characters that form the PSP.
They will leave marks on lamp posts,
walls and on doors, to remind us that they are free from fear and guided
by their creatures. They will show the real color of the street and the
true meaning of their stroke. They are their own creations, the sole
purpose of our gathering, to see their characters play with the
impossible, to rebel from the normal, to challenge themselves and truly
be inside the EqWallateral." - Joshua "Teng" Sibug
