Calle Wright is an art house located in Malate, Manila. The space opened in February 2018 and I was tasked with the role of curator and project manager of the space.
Never is a Promise was a collaborative two-man exhibition between Heman Chong (Singapore) and Gary-Ross Pastrana (Philippines), which sprung from a two-year dialogue between the artists regarding their practice and personal archive. This exhibition brought to light the two artists’ failed, forgotten, and unrealized works alongside their “greatest hits.”
