Ivan Co transforms Conrad Manila into his imagined universe

Curated with architectural precision by Nestor Jardin, the exhibition showcases 10 meticulously engineered kinetic sculptures by acclaimed artist Ivan Co. Through an evocative blend of automatons, gravitrams and pendulums adorned with semi-precious stones, the collection explores movement and structural transformation, inviting Manila’s discerning crowd to converse with the future until 25 July.
