(...) Buen CALUBAYAN is a Manila-based artist whose practice unfolds at the intersection of art, labor, and education. His work critically examines institutional frameworks such as painting, landscape, and linear perspective, drawing from them various strategies and practices that explore bodily rhythm, movement, and sensory capacities. By doing so, he challenges traditional models of power and oppression, reconstructing the relationship between the body and the world. Ultimately, his work focuses on the systems that govern everyday life and the institutions that shape and control our existence. Through painting, drawing, video, and installation, CALUBAYAN questions the imposed Western visual systems and offers alternative perspectives.
