‘Rumbling’ at The Crucible Gallery

MANILA, Philippines - Gus Albor, Juan Magdasoc, Roger Monasterial and Archie Perez hold “Rumbling,” which opens tomorrow at The Crucible Gallery, fourth floor, SM Megamall A, Mandaluyong City. The show runs until Feb. 14.

The artists are active members of Cebika (Center for Bicol Arts, Inc) whose provincial headquarters are in Cagsawa, Daraga Albay and Rawis, Legaspi City. They managed to put up their own art venue out of the ruins; a barangay that was devastated by the Mayon Volcano eruption in 1841. Named Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) Art Project, the structure was utilized as a gallery since 2002, until it was ruined again by typhoon Reming three years ago.
