We went to the opening of Incidental Pleasure, a group show at Mospace curated by Geraldine Javier. Artists Juan Alcazaren, Mike Munoz, Eugene Jarque, Mac Valdezco, Ryan Villamael and Javier were “tasked to explore the boundaries of their styles” using fabric.

Foreground: Orange 524.558 by Mac Valdezco. On the wall: Feeder by Eugene Jarque.

Orange looks like some kind of carnivorous anemone that turns into Spider-Man’s web shooters.

Another Life of a Tree, knitted by Geraldine Javier. Very House Baratheon, don’t you think?

Has anyone noticed how Game of Thrones slowed down in the middle of Season 2? Too much time spent on non-essential chitchat. Too much exposition, not enough action. Did Talisa have to do that monologue on how she became interested in medicine? Please, jump each other and be done with it. We already know Jon Snow and Robb Stark are going to get laid (Not by each other—down, gay incest freaks) but we’re made to wait three episodes. How long is Arya going to be a serving girl at Harrenhal? Theon Greyjoy is a fascinating character but we’re close to knowing more about Theon than we need. Daenerys whining about her dragon babies—stop that. And we love to see Tyrion reading books, but not every minute please.

Fortunately the show picks up by episode 9. Hard to match the penultimate episode of the first season, but the action has been building—and stretching, and meandering—to the Battle of Blackwater. Finally we get all the action that was missing from the last three episodes, in a full-out spectacle written by GRRM himself.

Juan Alcazaren’s “Protect Me From What I Want To Eat” is composed of felt, screws, washers and G.I. sheet. Political statement? Does it say Spratlys? Let us know.

Ryan Villamael’s “Big Bang” in felt. Fabulous, though it seems more intelligent design to us. Below, his “Stellar” series.

Mospace is on the 3rd floor of Bo’s the furniture showroom on Bonifacio High Street. The gallery is open daily from 11am to 8pm; the show runs until 24 June 2012.
