Item Overview

Description

Pio Abad (b.1983)
Every Tool is a Weapon if You Hold it Right XXIV
Filipino multimedia artist Pio Abad is concerned with the social and
political significance of things. Abad’s practice makes use of a range
of media, such as textiles, drawing, installation, and photographing,
processing thoughts through images. His work investigates cultural
events or public figures, exploring their histories and drawing out
associations between them and other moments or other people.
Abad’s work was included in the London Open, Whitechapel Art
Gallery, 2012 and he was a finalist in the Converse/Dazed and
Confused Emerging Artist Award, 2012.
Abad weaves visual narratives into the form of imitation Hermès
scarves. He has been developing his series of scarves over the past
few years, and has collaborated with silk printers who have
worked with several well-known artists and designers, such as
the late Alexander McQueen. Abad’s scarves function as both a
commemorative object, as well as a historical object with its own
material history. The imagery on the scarves excavate alternative
or repressed historical accounts, bringing them together with one
particular aesthetic phenomena.
