Qube Gallery Presents Things to Come

This September 25, 2014 to October 8, 2014, Qube Gallery will present to the Cebu art scene a premier collection series entitled, “Things to Come”.

“Things to Come,” is the exhibit of the abstract works of Leopoldo Aguilar. The artist, Leopoldo Aguilar received a Certificate of Fine Arts from U.P. Cebu, where he was a Jose Joya awardee. He founded the group known as Neo-Tribalism. Actively participating in numerous group shows, he held a successful show at Nakonnai Gallery in Phuket, Thailand.

The New Tribalist Movementbelieve in a New Tribal Revolution outlined in the Ishmael series by Daniel Quinn. New tribalists believe that the tribe fulfills an important role in human life, and that the dissolution of tribalism with the spread of civilization has come to threaten the very survival of the species. New tribalists seek to mimic indigenous peoples by organizing their own “tribes” based on underlying principles gleaned from ethnology and anthropological fieldwork.

Quinn argues that this civilization is not working, and if we are to find a way of life that does work, we should draw our basic principles from human societies that are working. Quinn points to indigenous peoples and tribal societies as such examples, and advocates a social revolution—the New Tribal Revolution—to reform society using principles gleaned from the operation of such cultures.

A Premier Collection Series – Things to Come: Abstract Works by Leopoldo Aguilar is held at the Qube Gallery. Qube Gallery is located at the Henry Hotel, One Paseo, Ma. Luisa Rd., Banilad, Cebu City.
