ชีวประวัติ
Gary-Ross Pastrana’s art has been one of the most persistent
in terms of combining concepts with objects. His conceptual pieces,
although loaded with poetic intensity, remain unobtrusively subtle
and even almost quaint in its appearance. Coiled or folded
photographs, his woven tales from found pictures in the internet,
the sawed off parts of a boat shipped to another gallery, his shirt
tied into a pole to commensurate a flag, these are the slightest of
turns Gary-Ross has his objects make to create a new text
within.
Born in 1977 in Manila, he received his Bachelor’s degree in
Painting from the University of the Philippines and was handed with
the Dominador Castaneda Award for Best Thesis, and was granted with
residency programs in Japan and Bangkok. Gary-Ross Pastrana
received the CCP Thirteen Artists Award in 2006. He has shown at
the Singapore Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of the Philippines,
and the Jorge B. Vargas Museum. He was the country’s representative
for the New Museum in New York’s 2012 Triennial “The
Ungovernables.” He was part of the Aichi Triennale in 2010 and the
Busan Biennale in 2008. Pastrana recently completed a residency
program at the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore. He is one
of the cofounders of Future Prospects Art Space and has regularly
curated for shows both here and abroad.
