Julius Clar
Assemblages
SLab 20SQUARE Gallery
November 11-29, 2008
Opening Reception, Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 4 – 6 pm
Artist Julius Clar exhibits his shadow box Assemblages at SLab's 20SQUARE gallery. Assembled from objects and photographs collected over the years, Clar arranges vintage toys and other banal objects in whimsical grids within a frame. “These ideas or thoughts can never pursue a narrative thread, and I would only liken it to a verse of a song, or a stanza of a poem. The box is a frame, or the frame is a box, to flat or three-dimensioned objects which are dependent on outside references and are put together at calculated randomness in logical or illogical juxtapositions.”
Julius Clar is known for employing alternative photographic processes such as the Van Dyke method of printing. He was Chair of the Photography Program at the De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde. In his career spanning over 30 years, Clar has shown work at the Ayala Museum, Lopez Museum, Cultural Center of the Philippines and Art Center, among others.
