Photograph of Nilo Ilarde's Mint Condition in the exhibition 'Gray Matter' curated by Roberto Chabet at West Gallery from 6 - 18 October, 2000.

Excerpt from the exhibition press release written by Roberto Chabet:

'Gray, the vague indeterminate between opposites - black/white, dark/light, good/evil - is the subject of this exhibition of paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media works by Ronald Achacoso, Bert Antonio, Roberto Chabet, Nona Garcia, Nilo Ilarde, Romeo Lee, Jonathan Olazo, Jayson Oliveria, Dan Raralio, Juni Salvador, Brian Sergio, Gerardo tan, Wire Tuazon and Alvin Zafra. The exhibit presents a range of strategies, invariably conceptualist, and employs a manic inventory of materials like photos, scientific illustrations, x-rays, toys, and human bones.'
