Photograph of Roberto Chabet (right, kneeling) installing The Four Directions at Finale Art Gallery preparing for the exhibition of the same title. The work, together with Dreams: 100 Years at West Gallery, is part of an extended diptych that were exhibited simultaneously at Finale and West Galleries, 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 colors used in the paintings - yellow, white, green, and red - are based on the colors 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).
