So, rumors permitting, 686 will be the final chapter of Bleach.
I’m worried about all of the open ends.
I have so many questions that have not been answered! (e.g. WHERE THE FUCK IS YACHIRU?!) What happened with Byakuya and Toshiro while the scene shifted? (Where are the Arrancars?) And lets be honest here, that last fight was incredibly rushed and very anti-climatic. Waaaay too much monologue.
Ukitake I am heartbroken over, but I came to expect that to happen in the end.
I really don’t want Bleach to pull a Naruto with the whole “we’re done. JK! Have a sequel of a new generation!”
A halt or even of cessation are evident in works that display bare spaces, intersecting lines and grids, and unfinished strokes that need a bit more paint. Browsing through the numerous works of Filipino master Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo, the concept for the second major exhibition of the Lopez Museum and Library entitled Open Ends came to light.
This November 17, Tuesday, 2 to 4 pm, Ateneo de Manila University Instructor Isa Nazareno will speak about the numerous drawings, sketches, studies and unfinished paintings of Filipino master Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo. Prof. Nazareno will present new perspectives on Hidalgo’s works that speak of an interesting phase in the formation of an artist’s work, a segment that he might not have intended for the public to see.

Again these questions remain: “what happens when art and art-making are interrupted? Is an unfinished work still worthy of display? Why would a work with no perfunctory conclusion deserve a second look?
Fill in the Canvas seeks to flesh out the relevance of these fragments, clues into an art practice that created iconic and important works of Philippine art.
The lecture is brought to you in part by Gourmet Farms Inc. Registration is at Php 135 for adults and Php 115 for students and museum members.

In celebration of National Museums and Galleries month, Lopez Museum and Library will have free admission on October 24, 2015. Start your weekend right by surrounding yourself with art and history. We will be offering hourly guided tours starting at 8AM until 5PM through our last exhibition of the year, Open Ends.
Often, when we think of art, the gauge of its importance lies in its place in linear history. This ability to “place” an artwork comes from answers to questions about the artist and the context wherein it was created— finished. But what happens when art and art-making are interrupted? Is an unfinished work still worthy of display? Why would a work with no perfunctory conclusion deserve a second look?
OPEN ENDS
Exhibition Run: August 22 – December 23, 2015
Riel Hilario, Toym Imao and Ling Quisumbing Ramilo
“Open Ends”, the second exhibition offering of the Lopez Museum and Library highlights a collection of rarely seen studies, sketches, and unfinished paintings by Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo. These masterful renditions are complimented by those of Juan Luna, unfinished correspondences captured in Jose Rizal’s careful handwriting and by beautifully bound and printed novenas or prayer booklets. Select sculptural and mixed media installations by guest artists Ling Quisumbing Ramilo, Toym Imao, and Riel Hilario complete this provocation.
In “Open Ends”, the works selected point to potential stages of artistic creation: to a seeming prologue of a story, experimentations in technique and even attempts at appeasing one’s curiosity. Challenging the usual practice of exhibiting an artist’s best and finished works, the exhibition explores how value and meaning evolve by looking and experiencing art that are products of opportune moments, happy accidents and even (un)timely interruptions.
“Open Ends” is presented with support from Pacific Paint (Boysen) Philippines, Inc. The exhibition will run from August 21 to December 23, 2015. For more information, call Tina at 631 2417 or email [email protected].
