MARCO ORTIGA MAKES WAVES WITH OLD BOATS

If you close your eyes and listen past the cocktail chatter at Vinyl on Vinyl, you might pick up the circular creaking of boats or the rhythmic splash of waves in a Capiz harbor.

MARCO ORTIGA MAKES WAVES WITH OLD BOATS

That's built into Marco Ortiga's latest exhibit, "Baroto," now at the Chino Roces art space until Dec. 3, in which Ortiga has fashioned an elaborate field of "kinetic art," this time incorporating boards from worn-out pump boats into an arresting scene: you watch the slabs of wood, decorated with their original fading paint, rotating in their own asymmetric, non-synchronous patterns around the ground floor viewing space.

Another piece features a slowly undulating round plastic container full of ball bearings; their rolling movement back and forth suggests the distant crash of waves, if you have the right kind of ears.
