Press release of Roberto Chabet's 'The Four Directions and Dreams: 100 Years', titled 'Roberto Chabet to hold simultaneous exhibits', published in Philippine Daily Inquirer on 22 March 1999. The two simultaneous exhibitions were held at Finale Art Gallery and West Gallery, SM Megamall from 29 March - 9 April 1999.

The Four Directions at Finale Art Gallery is a large-scale, four-panel, heavily painted work in-laid with harmonicas. The work is inspired by an Allen Ginsberg poem titled 'On Cremation of Chogyam Trungpa, Vidyadhara.' The four colours used in the paintings - yellow, white, green, and red - are based on the colours of the Tibetan flag.

Dreams: 100 Years at West Gallery is a space-specific installation that anthologizes images and objects (alphabet blocks, snare drums, crowbar, conch shell, and a painting based on a photograph of Joseph Cornell's shelves) used in the artist's earlier series titled The Interpretation of Dreams (1995).
