ACC grantees NOEL SOLER CUIZON and DON M. SALUBAYBA are featured in “De-Route,” a unified installation together with visual artists Jef Carnay and Karen Ocampo Flores. A collaboration reminiscent of the four artists’ joint forays in community art, art education, and arts advocacy, the show revisits the artists’ routes of artmaking and re-imagines the ways of de-routing these activities from its mere outcomes. It presumes to state that the artist is continually a work in progress, integrated and sometimes colliding with other persons and matters in progress.
Noel received his ACC fellowship in 1998 while Don was able to participate in the International Residency Program of the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito, California and observe contemporary art activities in New York during his fellowship in 2004.
