To conclude Jazel Villamarin’s two-year exhibition project, I Consume Therefore I Am, a special closing performance will be held on 1 December, Saturday, from 5 to 6pm in the building of Blanc Gallery in Makati City. The sunset celebration will be highlighted by a multimedia performance featuring Pundaquit Virtuosi in collaboration with Jazel Kristin.
The Pundaquit Virtuosi will be putting music to Jazel Kristin’s video “Je Consomme Donc Je Suis”, which was first shown in Paris, France as the product of a residency program she attended in Cité Internationale des Arts. The video was also shown in Baguio City, Philippines for the first AX(is) Festival.
The four Pundaquit Virtuosi, Julian Duque (violin), Kianne Esteban (violin), Isaiah Lipana (violin), and Remed Soriano (viola) are young music prodigies of Casa San Miguel, a world-renowned cultural enclave hidden in Zambales City. In early 2012, Jazel Kristin was asked to hold a workshop for the students of Casa San Miguel. It was here that she discovered a love for music, particularly the violin. She was then invited to be one of their artists-in-residence, which allowed her to finally complete her works for I Consume Therefore I Am.
This special performance will begin at exactly 5pm, and will be held in the outdoor pool area at the ground floor of Crown Tower along H.V. dela Costa Street in Salcedo Village, Makati City. The video to be shown contains sensitive images and is not suitable for children’s viewing.
I Consume Therefore I Am is on view at Blanc Gallery until 2 December 2012.
mark your calendars:
19 NOVEMBER – exhibit opening – 6pm, Blanc Gallery
1 DECEMBER – closing multimedia performance with Pundaquit Virtuosi, 5pm, Blanc Gallery

PARALLEL UNIVERSE – MJC, Aubagne (France)
L’artiste multi-média Jazel Kristin amène en France une exposition éclatante de couleur et d’humour. Ses photos-collages, uniques en leur genre, nous conduisent au-delà des idées conventionnelles par fusion de mondes opposés. Elle construit son style sur le concept du « copié-collé » et nous invite à expérimenter des strates superposées de couleurs, de formes, parfois même de sons.
Pour sa première exposition en France, l’artiste s’empare de son vécu. Un voyage qui commence aux Philippines, son pays natal, et la conduit en France. Dans ce pays inconnu, elle tombe amoureuse, repart puis revient et essaie de s’adapter. Au bout du compte, dans l’exploration de ses changements, elle se retrouve à vivre entre deux univers parallèles. Non soumises aux notions de temps et d’espace ni aux conventions de perspective ou de gravité, les œuvres réalisées transportent le spectateur dans cet univers autre, dans des endroits étrangement modifiés, où les cultures et les points de vue se mélangent.
Chaque pièce, toujours en exemplaire unique, ne fait intervenir sur la photographie que colle, ciseaux, feutres parfois.
Jazel Kristin a exposé ses travaux dans diverses galeries philippines ainsi qu’à l’Alliance Française de Manille. La galerie SilverLens a présenté ses créations dans le cadre du HK ART FAIR (édition 2008) au Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center. Ses œuvres ont été récemment mises à l’honneur dans la Design for Mankind’s Inspiration E-Zine et Blanket Magazine.

For her maiden exhibit in France, the artist captures the experience of living in two worlds, a journey that begins in the Philippines, her home country, and heads to France, an unfamiliar place where she falls in love, tries to fit in and finally finds herself living in a Parallel Universe.
Disregarding time and space and the conventions of perspective and gravity, Jazel Kristin’s handmade single-edition images brings her viewers into her universe, a place not quite like her home but feels like it in the blending of cultures and viewpoints.
Each artwork is uniquely made, with the use only of glue, scissors and the occasional coloring materials.
Jazel Kristin has displayed her works at the SilverLens, Penguin Gallery, Black Soup Gallery, Alliance Francaise de Manille and VOCAS (Victor Oteyza Community Art Space) in the Philippines. SilverLens represented her art works at last year’s HK ART FAIR at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. Her works were recently featured in Design for Mankind’s Inspiration E-Zine and Blanket Magazine.
April & May 2009, Jazel Kristin will be at Cite des Arts, Paris for an Artist Residency through the Mairie de Paris.
