Photograph of a detail of Roberto Chabet's installation, Bread, exhibited under the same title at MO_Space from 13 - 29 September 2011.

The work is an updated version of an earlier installation by Chabet at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in the 1970s. The earlier work consisted of several pieces of 'monay' (local Filipino bread) painted pink and arranged in a grid on the floor. In the new version, the 'monay' is unpainted and placed on top of square mirrors. Also added in the Project Room of MO_Space is an installation comprised of a single piece of 'monay' made with cast iron and placed on top of a square mirror on the floor, seemingly torched under the heat of the halogen lights.   

The exhibition is part of 'Roberto Chabet: Fifty Years,' a year-long series of exhibitions organised by King Kong Art Projects Unlimited in various venues in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Manila from 2011 - 2012.
