The Drawing Room Gallery (Manila) and NOME (Berlin) collaborate to present a selection of works by Filipino artist Cian Dayrit in Manila during the Philippines Arts Month. Sorting Facility will run from 19 February to 27 February at Comuna in Makati, with opening reception on 19 February 2025.
This flash exhibition by Dayrit takes a cue from the act of sorting, a systematic approach to organizing as a way to think through a body of work, and eventually reactivating it. Sorting Facility, viewed by Dayrit as a metaphor for continuous sharpening/honing, demonstrates his use of the exhibitionary platform– within a given space and time– to highlight pressing concerns and dominant narratives that he deals with and are represented by artistic work.
