Pio Abad : Some Are Smarter Than Others
12 Sep-16 Nov 2014
Gasworks
London SE11 5RH
Overview
Gasworks presents 'Some are Smarter than Others', the first major UK solo exhibition by London-based Filipino artist Pio Abad. Comprising entirely newly commissioned sculpture, photography and printed textiles, Abad’s exhibition at Gasworks looks at the cultural legacy of former Filipino dictators Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos, focusing on the extravagant collections they amassed during their years in power, from Italian Renaissance paintings to Georgian silverware. The title of the exhibition is taken from a 1991 book of the same name by Ricardo Manapat, which exposes the details of the Marcos’ ill-gotten wealth.
