Abang-guard: Makibaka is one of Hyperallergic’s 20 Must-See Art Shows in New York City This Summer.
The Queens Museum’s building served as the New York City Pavilion at the 1964–65 World’s Fair. Sixty years later, Abang-guard, a Filipino artist duo consisting of Maureen Catbagan and Jevijoe Vitug, revisit the fair by reshaping the architecture of the Philippines and New York pavilions. Through paintings, performances, sculptures, and videos, they meditate on sites of Filipino-American remembrance, such as the Filipino Community Cultural Center in Delano, California.
