The Manila Bulletin Hatch Exhibit at the UST Museum

26 September 2019

We are always on the lookout for new exhibits to go to and when we learned about the new Hatch Exhibit from Manila Bulletin is now being showcased at the UST Museum, Dylan and I decided to check it out.

The Hatch Exhibit consists of 100 acrylic eggs that served as the medium for Filipino artists to express their exceptional talent.  It will run until October 12, 2019. 







This is the explanation of what Hatch is all about as displayed in the exhibit area.

Dylan and I had fun going around the display area.  Much care had to be exercised because the eggs are close together and they looked fragile, beautiful but fragile :)

We really had to take time to view each of the acrylic eggs because they all had so much detail, it seemed wrong to just look at them once.  This "Magnificent" by Jiks Villanueva was certainly eye-catching we needed a photo with it :)

This "Mechanical Egg" by Omi Reyes was also pretty creative :)

Dylan was taken by surprise by this egg, aptly called "Balut" by Linds Lee.  It was quite realistic and Dylan didn't want to look at it closely because he said it was disgusting LOL

This carousel-inspired egg, "Karuzel" by Danny Rayos del Sol, was also striking.   I had to squat to view the details and construction for this piece.

 This interesting piece is called "The Goose has Laid" by Margie Organo.

This piece is called "Cradle of Life" by Ferdinande Cacnio.  It's simple but striking.  The lighting helps a lot too :)

These two stands display all the acrylic eggs in the collection.  Dylan and I played a matching game to find out who created the art pieces.  It also helps to know what they named their art work because it kind of gives you a sense of their inspiration for the piece.

This piece, "Sihay Punlay" by Agi Pagkatipunan certainly made me look twice :)

These following pieces are some of my favorites but sadly I couldn't find them on the board.  My eyes have failed me. 

This display is called "Dalawang Sagwan" by Demet Dela Cruz x Miai Sebastian.  It caught my attention because there were moving pieces. :)

There are still many notable pieces in the collection and of course, what I found interesting may not be the same for others so it's a good idea for you to go and see for yourself :)
