Mainit Fantasy

Bringing together the creative forces of Saluhan Collective and Liquid Architecture, Mainit Fantasy, was a one-night curated spectacle of sweet and salty art, sound, and performance by artists Catherine Ortega-Sandow, Del Lumanta, Kenneth Suico, Mariam Ella Arcilla (Magenta House), MJ Flamiano, Neil Cabatingan (Kuya Neil), Ranima Montes, and Raquel Solier (Various Asses) to celbrate their exhibition, Mainit Illusion.

Saluhan’s own MJ Flamiano and Catherine Ortega-Sandow gave unholy communion to their guests on-arrival, then Mariam Ella Arcilla presented audiences with her new video work, A mango is shaped like a heart, but its own heart is a stonem, accompanied by her signature mango hothouse™ apertif. Kenneth Suico presented Fate, 3 x a lady (puhonx2 dong), a voyeuristic live rendition of the Pointer Sisters in a steamy clam. RND presented Matalik, a series of back-to-back DJ sets drawing on their formative years listening to metal and punk interlaced with the sounds of experimental, electronic, club, and footwork.

Produced by: Arts House for Season One 2024.
