'Grave Findings: A Reclamation Project brings the youthful energies of multimedia artist Maria Taniguchi and archaeologist Pamela Faylona to bear on a unique segment of the Lopez Memorial Museum's permanent collection consisting of pre-colonial pottery unearthed in seminal excavations undertaken in the 1960s at Calatagan, Batangas.
'Banking on active conversations between Taniguchi's quirkily layered body of sculptural work crossing over to new media, and Faylona's critical interest in problematizing her own discipline's menu of data acquisition methods, Grave Findings occasions the posing of questions on research ethics and the political economy woven within the academically privileged practice of archaeology alongside its rationalizing thrusts of social inquiry and historical mapping of contested territories.' - extracted from the preface.
Artist biography is provided in this catalogue.
