Review of Roberto Chabet's solo exhibition 'Two Paintings: Bungled, Symptomatic and Chance Actions' titled 'Lovely manifestation of the irrational' written by Constantino Tejero and published in Philippine Daily Inquirer on 28 April 2003. The two simultaneous exhibitions were held at Finale Art Gallery and West Gallery, SM Megamall from 29 March - 10 April 2003.

The installation at West Gallery is composed of black plywood panels, two upturned aluminum ladders painted black on top of a plywood shelf with wooden alphabet blocks that spell 'People of the Republic Versus Painting', clipboards with sheets of dark glass, and a box framed Spanish grammar book and metal angle ruler.

The Finale installation include black plywood panels, over a hundred broken alarm clocks, a wooden drawing bench, and an upturned wooden dug-out boat on a stepladder, all painted black.

In this review, the writer quotes Chabet on the title of the exhibition, which refers to 'what Sigmund Freud called lapses of memory, the slips of the tongue and the little absent-minded, seemingly illogical acts that beset our normal day-to-day routine. (The) works suggest that, as in everyday life, these psychic circuits occur in the experience of art, when rational understanding falters, meaning slips, and the unexpected - the magical - slips in.'
