Some 21 art zines were created by architects and artists, based on National Artist for Literature Cirilo Francisco Bautista’s award-winning “Trilogy of Saint Lazarus.”
THE “Trilogy of Saint Lazarus” is a masterpiece written by National Artist for Literature Cirilo Francisco Bautista.
It includes “The Archipelago” (1970), “Telex Moon” (1981), and “Sunlight on Broken Stones” (1999).
The trilogy enabled Bautista to be given recognitions such as the National Centennial Commission First Prize in Epic Writing, the Manila Critics Circle National Book Award, and the Book Development Association of the Philippines Gintong Aklat Award.
Many people believe that Bautista’s work heavily influenced the shape of Filipino literature today.
This new zine collection pays tribute to Cirilo Bautista and the “Trilogy of Saint Lazarus”.
21 art zines were created by architects and artists including Nel Banaag, Gringo Benedicto, Blic, Gab Brioso, Tricia Castillo, Julius Clar, Mariah Concepcion, Jackie Cruz, Bayani Galera, Winna Go, Miguel Infante, Doktor Karayom, Charles Mañez, Stephen Matti, Regina Morales, Walther Ocampo, Levyn Purcil, Robin Ravago, Gabby Rosario, Isola Tong, and Thea Torres.
Its introduction was written by Brother Edmundo Fernandez FSC, the president of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) Manila and La Salle Green Hills (LSGH).
It was produced by the Center of Campus Art (CCA), curated by CCA director Architect Gerry Torres and Architect Harvey Vasquez of Benilde Architecture.
40 copies will be given to the family and friends of Cirilo Bautista as well as to other artists.
A digital installation called “House of Words” imagines Bautista’s home in Quezon City. It was worked on by Architecture students Tracie Bejar, Bea Carague, Jackie Cruz, Janelle Gan, Kevin Nuñez, Emilio Tenorio, and Aaron Yu and Multimedia Arts students Marco Ajero, Gelo Fabian, Enrique Masias and Raine Sanciangco. They used the “Text as Image” concept in it as they employed environmental graphics and architectonic volumes.
