Carlos Villa Timeline

Artist, curator, and educator Carlos Villa aimed to render Filipino art history visible after a professor told him that there was no such thing. A decade after his death, his groundbreaking practice and legacy remain.
On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Frieze has called on several renowned artists to nominate other artists to present solo projects in the invitation-only Artist-to-Artist section. Silverlens was selected by Anthea Hamilton to present Villa’s work.
Visit Silverlens’ exhibition of Villa’s works from the ‘80s at Booth S7, Frieze London, through Sunday, 15 October 2023.
