Art in the Park Special Edition
Ever since 2006, an exponential amount of about P20 million have been raised by the country’s premier affordable art fair. It has been allocated by the Museum Foundation of the Philippines for its projects to expand awareness for the National Museum and its wide network. The funds raised enabled the Museum Foundation of the Philippines Inc. (MFPI) to run a program to provide grants for varied cultural endeavors, including publications support and international benchmarking tours by executives of the National Museum.

ARTIST’S PROFILE
I first met Junyee when I was a student at the University of the Philippines in the early seventies. Together with some artist friends, we would later visit him when he began living in the campus of UP, Los Banos, which has become his home and a source of indigenous materials and inspiration for the site-specific installations for which he became widely known as the pioneer of installation art not just in the Philippines but in Southeast Asia. Those were halcyon days, walking and talking amidst the lush forestry and mountain trails at the base of Mount Makiling.
