Maria Taniguchi’s midcareer survey “body of work” at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) in Manila marked the first moment that audiences could take in the full breadth of her practice. With 32 works spanning over nearly two decades, the exhibition centered on her ongoing series of untitled “brick paintings,” which the artist initiated in 2008. Curated by MCAD director Joselina Cruz, the show gathered a score of these monochrome abstract canvases, highlighting her sustained effort and formal consistency.
