"What is sacred? What is profane?" asks Norberto Roldan in his latest works. "It is unsettling how these terms can sometimes signify the same thing. Two words which suggest dichotomy, could either be one or the other at the same time." The mixed-media pieces were exhibited in a Philippine preview at the Mos Space last week, and will be flying to Kuala Lumpur to be shown at the Galerie Taksu on October 22. The title of Roldan's show is Everything Is Sacred. "What is porn? What is born? Graft and corruption is the new porn. And we all can be born-again pagans. Things take on their meanings regardless of captions. Profane is the new sacred."
