David Medalla

David Medalla: Parables of Friendship is the first institutional solo exhibition dedicated to the work of the Filipino artist, poet and activist David Medalla since his sudden passing in December 2020. Presented by Museion together with the Bonner Kunstverein, which hosted the exhibition until 30 January 2022, and in close collaboration with the David Medalla Archive in Berlin, the exhibition recounts the vital legacy, spirit, energy and radical nature of the artist's work. ...As the title suggests, Parables of Friendship comprises both social engagement and transcendence, the two main characteristics of Medalla's art. The diversity of his tireless production and his continuous search for connections reveal a search for the "oneness of the whole" through differences, and a deeply experiential and sentimental relationship with being. His work reflects paradoxes and traumas that are part of cultural identity, an identity that for him remains a multi-temporal and multi-directional process. -- (based on publisher's description)
