Photograph of a detail of Roberto Chabet's installation, 10,000 Paintings I Must Paint Before I Die, exhibited under the same title at Mag:net Gallery, Katipunan from 14 April - 7 May 2009.
The installation is composed of hundreds of red, yellow, blue, black, and white canvasses attached onto clipboards and installed in a grid on the walls, along with a neon sign that reads '10000 Paintings I Must Paint Before I Die.'
The neon text refers to the title of a guide book on art history, as well as the Buddhist concept of '10,000 Things,' which denotes the sum of all essences and the dynamic interconnection, simultaneous unity, and diversity of everything in the universe.
