A day after Linda Sim has left, Manila-based artist Marika B. Constantino will arrive in Bandung for a two-week stay at Roma Arts. She is a visual artist who has participated in exhibitions in the Philippines and abroad. As a freelance writer, she has contributed to a number of publications. She shares her various experiences in the art practice to a wider audience as an educator and an independent curator.  Her early exposure to art and her boundless fascination for the creative process resulted with a degree from the UP College of Architecture, and she continued her studies at the UP College of Fine Arts, with Art History as her major. Marika B. Constantino is continually striving to balance the cerebral, conceptual and experiential aspects of art with life in general.  Currently, she is the Special Projects Head of 98B COLLABoratory (http://www.98-b.org/). She is also a member of CANVAS on project basis (http://www.canvas.ph/). During her stay in Bandung, she will create a mural in front of Jalan Cibeunying Kolot III no.41, the location of Roma Arts.

Singapore-based photography and installation artist Linda Sim Solay (www.lindasim.com) is doing a month long residency at my place Roma Arts during which time she is creating an installation titled 'Samtana' (a Sanskrit term for stream of consciousness), which will consist out of a column of old crystal glasses, which have been in her family for generations, through which light will shine, and she will also add sound and scent. The column of glasses will reach somewhere between 3 and 4 meters, through which light will travel from above and below. She is working in a focused and productive way. And it's a delight to have her stay at my place here in Bandung.
