KULÔ (v.) is the state of boiling; to simmer or to bubble because of molecular friction resulting to heat; a condition associated with rage; seethe; irritation.

KULÔ is an exhibition of artworks by selected alumni artists of the University of Santo Tomas. The artworks, old and new, contribute to the discourses of the pen and the sword, education and revolution—topics that implicate Filipino thinkers and artists, who are conscious of the historical occasion and dialogue between Jose Rizal’s 150th birthday and the country’s oldest university’s 400th year celebration as an educational institution.

Direct or indirect representations, portrayals and recollections of Rizal will be or has been explored through traditional mediums, multimedia installations and graphic design.

This exhibition is an artist initiative that hopes to re-evaluate the contribution of individual artists to the discourse in art and its social context in the Philippines.

KULȎ will be exhibited at the Bulwagang Juan Luna (Main Gallery) of The Cultural Center of The Philippines.

 Opening at 3:00pm on June 17 as part of the CCP’s celebration of the 150th birth anniversary of Jose P. Rizal. The exhibit will go on till August 21, 2011.
