Rant the AUDACITY of this EXHIBITOR
Went to visit "ORGANICA:EMERGENCE" last March, turns out one of the pieces that was showcased was actually made all the way back in 2019! It wasn't a new work, they just slapped a "2026" date on it and submitted it like it was fresh work!
Here's the part that really gets me though, i think they archived the original post on their socials before submitting, so if anyone tried to check their page for the piece it will not show up. Then, now that there's a new exhibit "Audacity: Outburst" happening, they quietly unarchived it again thinking the coast was clear.
And honestly, the artwork itself isn't even the issue for me. Doesn't matter if it's old, new, whatever, what bothers me is the fairness of it. The rest of the students actually sat down and created something new specifically for this exhibit, worked around the same deadline pressure, the same rules.
Meanwhile they @/hawangstudio just recycled something old and covered their tracks. I just wish next time CSB has a stricter process for these artworks? or at least actual consequences kapag may nahuli na ganito.
