          The Philippines in the 32nd Venice Biennale (The First Participation)

          The Philippines had its first National Pavilion in 1964 at the 32nd Venice Biennale through the efforts of the Art Association of the Philippines (AAP).

          As early as 1961, Purita Kalaw Ledesma wrote the Biennale, and in 1962, the country received its invitation but was not prepared to participate. In 1964, AAP appointed Emmanuel Torres as the Commissioner General of the first Philippine pavilion, which presented the works of Jose Joya, painter and multimedia artist, and Napoleon Veloso Abueva, sculptor, both of whom are now National Artists.

          Joya brought to Venice several paintings of his, namely, Fishpond Reflections, Granadian Arabesque, Carcass, Episode in Stockholm, Quiapo Nazarene Festival, Venetian Daybreak, Primitive Rituals, Surging Red , and Hills of Nikko; while Abueva presented five sculptures—Allegorical Harpoon, Flight, Bird, City, and Town Black.
