Danilo Dalena's paintings in 'Regarding Place, No Place', an exhibition by Roberto Chabet, Danilo Dalena, Fernando Modesto, and Antonio Austria, in The Art Center, SM Megamall, 12 - 25 May 1996.

Chabet wrote, 'Art implies place. It depicts space, exists in space, and is perceived in space. Placement, location is central in art. The artist stakes out territories, establishes boundaries, or represents a sense of place. This sense of place is the artist's sense of self.

Place for Dalena is Pakil, Laguna, his hometown. Specifically it means his house, its interiors, and the Dalenas hanging on the walls, creating places within places.' (Excerpt from the exhibition notes)
