Invitation to the exhibition 'Untitled Painting No. 1 and Other Paintings,' curated by Roberto Chabet at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Small Gallery from 16 - 30 April 1974.

The exhibition featured the works of Chabet's students from the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts (UP CFA) - Huge Bartolome, Noli Gamboa, Candy Ramos, Evelyn Santos, Judy Freya Sibayan, Ruben Soriano, and An Tison.

Chabet wrote, 'This exhibition is about painting. It is about color and how color works in painting. It is about shape and how shape works in painting. Being about painting, it is necesarily about the flatness of painting and the illusions of space permitted on this flatness.

Being about painting, the concern here is not for 'subject matter,' unless the properties of painting - color, shape, flatness  - are taken for 'subject matter.'

The concern here is for painting paintings. This is an activity that includes the thinking about the painting to be done, the methods chosen to do the painting, and the actual work with the tools and materials of painting. Being about the activity of painting, the exhibition is about the actualities of painting: ideas, method, matter. These actualities make the object which is the painting.

The exhibition is meant to be looked at and seen. What is looked at and seen is meant to occur. The occurrence is of object and experience.'
