Roberto Chabet's Pier and Ocean, in 'Regarding Place, No Place' an exhibition by Chabet, Danilo Dalena, Fernando Modesto, and Antonio Austria, in The Art Center, SM Megamall from 12-25 May 1996.
The work, together with Boat, is a two-part installation that refers to one of Piet Mondrian's 'plus/minus' compositions.
According to Chabet in the exhibition notes, 'Art implies place. It depicts space, exists in space, and is perceived in space. Placement, location is central in art. The artist stakes out territories, establishes boundaries, or represents a sense of place. This sense of place is the artist's sense of self.'
(My) sense of place is literal - the exhibition space and the virtual spaces generated by (my) installation. Though seemingly non-referential the work alludes to geography - or geographies.'
