After meeting some artists from Mo_Space Gallery we were invited to another gallery opening/anniversary/concert at Pablo Gallery. Taken by Cars was the best of many impressive local bands (Mozzie, Happy Happy Joy Joy, Analog, The Ronnies & Juan Pablo Dream) that played that night. The 1st year anniversary also sparked the opening of a new exhibit featuring more local talent like of Mike Sicam, Isabel "Pepper" Roxas and Paolo Lim.

Pablo Gallery Aniversary, Cubao X, Quezon City
Action! Vintage Pop
Another hot spot in Cubao X was Vintage Pop. It's far from an ordinary furniture and accessories shop. Vintage Pop features rare photo and cinematography designs from the ages along with selective modern pieces. The owner and designer of the shop, Bong, has a love of film and promised us a showing of some of his silent films next time we are in town. Cubao X is situated in Quezon City right across the street from where the historical Ali "Thrilla in Manila" fight took place. This tight knit artist community is a must see spot to catch the freshest art and vintage finds.
Mo_Space Gallery, Fort Bonifacio Global City
Mo_Space Gallery is an alternative art space showcasing many of Manila's young and talented visual artists.
-Subject: the activation of artistic ideas both current and crosscurrent to our times.
-Medium: visual dialogue and critical correspondence; open-ended questions, nagging instincts, introspective musings, or forceful assertions - all consistently guided by the power of the artworks themselves.
-Dimensions: the reach, depth, and arrange of contemporary expression.
We met Mausen Ong (aka Marlene), a friend of Boots and the owner of Bo Concept and Vitra furniture stores at Fort Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City. We found Marlene to be a great source in guiding us in our mission to seek out contacts and venues relevant to contemporary design culture, as well as the alternative art scene in Manila.
