The Manila Hotel stages 6th edition of Hatch exhibit
THE sixth edition of the Hatch exhibit debuts at The Manila Hotel, promising to inspire fresh creativity within the iconic spaces of the Grand Dame. Notably, this year’s exhibit features the participation of the inimitable National Artist of the Philippines for Film, Kidlat Tahimik.
Hatch challenges Filipino artists to unleash their talent on an unexpected canvas — a fiberglass egg. Past editions have seen these eggs transformed into whimsical, exotic and even profound art pieces. Artists use everyday materials infused into the egg, turning them into masterpieces.
More than just an exhibit, Hatch is a platform for established and emerging artists to experiment, pushing their artistic boundaries. Expect diverse styles, innovative installations, and thoughtprovoking pieces that spark conversation and appreciation for Filipino art.
Beyond the gallery walls, Hatch fosters a vibrant community, connecting artists, art fans, and the public, offering a unique perspective on Filipino creativity.
A new generation of “egg-cited” artists has devoted their time, talent, and skills to showcase the creative genius of the Filipino mind. Featured artists include National Artist of the Philippines for film Kidlat Tahimik, Marcel Antonio, Melai Arguzon, Andre Chan, Elaine Clemente, Katrina Cuenca, Sean Go, Julie Lluch, Marlon Magbanua, Glenn Martinez, Dennis Montera, Bea Policarpio, Joel Reglos, Maxine Syjuco, Herminio Tan, Valerie Teng, and Manila City Vice Mayor John Marvin “Yul Servo” Nieto.
Hatch sixth edition is on display at the Grand Lobby of The Manila Hotel from March 8 to April 7, 2024.
